Toxic Bloem vs CPI Crusaders
In the 2nd Division Plate Semi-Final on Sunday the 16th of July, Toxic Bloem played against the CPI Crusaders. Mohapi was the Umpire and the live streaming was sponsored by CPI, Good Burger and Capstone Credit.
Here are the teams that were selected.
In the first Innings, Toxic Bloem scored a respectable 158 runs, losing only 3 wickets. Jo Pretorius was well on his way to scoring his 50 but was bowled for 46 runs from 35 balls using 6 fours. Bennett Swart suffered a similar fate when he scored 45 runs from 33 balls before he was run out.
In the second innings, the CPI Crusaders batted slightly more enthusiastically, but they didn’t score any 50s either. Mike Otto, however, was punishing the Toxic team with 3 fours and 2 sixes from 28 balls to score 45 runs before Dutchy caught him with a spectacular catch. Joppie did the bowling, and it is a tragedy that we were unable to capture the catch, but it was Mike who earned the Player of the Match award.
A little later, Dutchy went to whisper something in Jo’s ear and moments later, Jaques was stumped as well.
Johannes Bekker came to clean up by scoring 44 runs from 22 balls, NOT OUT, using 7 fours. The Crusaders reached their target and won the match by 4 wickets, scoring 159/4 in 18.4 overs.
