The veterans’ Bennie Benade said the game was reduced to 15 overs a side due to wet outfields. Toti batted first and scored 118/5, setting the target of 119 to win. Falcons only managed to get 105/7 in their 15 overs.
ACC’s veterans won by 13 runs. “Man of the match went to Wikus Koortzen. He scored 57 from only 38 balls, and bowled one over at the depth going for only four runs and taking a wicket,” said Benade.
