“We won our first game against the Tyron Terminators by 49 runs. I took 3 wickets in 2.2 overs, it was a great day of cricket overall,” said Powell.
Danelle Pillay said, “One of my dreams, in my sporting career, was to play at the Kingsmead stadium. I stopped playing provincial cricket 10 years ago after I matriculated. During this five year spell at KZN cricket, I trained at Kingsmead stadium, been on the field and the stands and played at the Standard bank Oval a few times, but never at the stadium.
After I left cricket, I never imagined that the opportunity to play a match at Kingsmead Stadium would ever arise again. With day 1 down, our results are 1 loss and 1 win.”
Day 2 of the DSE Ladies T20 Bash resumes on Saturday, April 30, at the Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium and Oval, where all teams will compete in another group stage match starting at 09:00 followed by the much anticipated final starting at 13:00.
