Boland v South Western Districts - CSA Provincial Three-Day Competition – Day 3 – Live Score and Update
Boland 403 v South Western Districts 172 & 139 (f/o) (50.3 ov) - Boland won by an innings and 92 runs
Boland ended the week in a perfect fashion by registering a win against South Western by an innings and 92 runs in the CSA Provincial Three-Day Competition, on Saturday, in the match that was played at Boland Park, Paarl.
After having clobbered a massive first innings score of 403, the hosts were in a comfortable position on the third day with South Western Districts perishing on 172 in their first innings, consequently forced to follow-on and beginning the final day from 85 with five wickets down.
With half of their batting line-up on the benches, Western Districts had actually lost any chance of winning.
Having skipper, RD McMillan, unbeaten on 39 the batting side was barely hanging in the match.
The skipper was joined by K Scholtz, who was yet to open his account and with his side in deep trouble, he did not have much options to choose from.
The task was simple, the batsmen needed to stay on the wicket for the whole day in order to make something out of a lost cause.
With odds against them, the batting duo managed to halt the opposition from taking wickets earlier in the day, as they steered the side to 120 runs before the partnership met its end on the demise of the skipper, who fell after scoring 60 runs before getting caught by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stevens-c91368 off the bowling of Erasmus.
It was then time for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Williams-c98034. At the time of this wicket, his team had managed to post only 125 on the board.
Ten runs later, Western Districts lost their eighth wicket when MN Piedt perished after scoring only six.
K Scholtz’s wicket was another nail in South’s coffin as the batsman found his way back to the pavilion after scoring 19 runs.
A wicket later, the side crumbled on a second innings score of 139, losing the match by a large margin.
From Boland, OJ Erasmus, was phenomenal with nine wickets to his name in the three-day match.
