Tshwane Spartans 203 for 5 (Cloete 80, de Bruyn 66, Bravo 3-31) beat Paarl Rocks 202 for 6 (Delport 73, Mendis 2-35) by one run
A good-sized Sunday crowd at the Boland Park got its money’s worth, if not its home team winning, when Tshwane Spartans beat Paarl Rocks by just one run in a high-scoring Mzansi Super League match. Spartans had been driven by their openers to a sizeable 203 for 5, with Gihahn Cloete‘s 80 and Theunis de Bruyn‘s 66 setting a strong foundation. Paarl had good contributions through the order, with Cameron Delport‘s 73 the centrepiece, but they fell agonisingly short in their first match of the competition.
Spartans, who had lost their first match, held on barely, to get their first points.
