Cape Cobras v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Titans-c856 – Momentum One Day Cup, 2012/13 (Semi-final) – Match Recap – Steyn bowls Cobras into tournament final
A century from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Cape-Cobras-c776 secured their spot in the tournament final after defeating the Titans by 3 wickets in the semi-final of the ongoing
Momentum One Day Cup, played at Newlands in Cape Town on December 9. The Cobras will now be facing the table-topping Highveld http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808 in the final, due to be played at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on December 14.
The semi-final featured a solid all-round performance from the Cobras, who won the toss and chose to field first. Player of the Match http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DW-Steyn-c1409 (10-0-45-5), whose commitments with the Cobras forced him to pull out of a Big Bash League match for Brisbane
Heat at the last minute, spearheaded the attack, and was backed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RK-Kleinveldt-c2334 (10-1-38-1).
Openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dane-Vilas-c1307, the Titans were at 67 for 3.
Coming in at number 4, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Farhaan-Behardien-c56785, who contributed  47, in addition to teaming
up with de Villiers for a 120-run partnership for the 5th wicket.
Skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JL-Ontong-c1704, the team total had swelled to 205. However, Steyn remained on
the offensive, and the 47th over saw him taking http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Morkel-c73528 (0) out of the game.
Louw sent Eden Links (0) packing in the very next over, and by the end of 50 overs, with 9 wickets down, and Roelof http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lerutla-Matheko-Gershon-Masekela-c72646 (5*) at the crease, the Titans posted a final total of 241.
The Cobras’ opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stiaan-van-Zyl-c91407 (11) came and went. Puttick eventually fell prey to Roelof van der Merwe (10-0-29-4), while van Zyl
was picked up by Morkel. Levi eventually succumbed to van der Merwe in the 14th over, and by the time Dane Vilas (27) departed for having obstructed the field, the score was at 89 for 4.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RJ-Peterson-c2332 (0) were both dismissed in the 41st
over by van der Merwe, but Ontong led the team through, and aided by contributions from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Justin-Kemp-c1750 (5) and Kleinveldt (14*), got the Cobras up to 245, with 3 wickets and 21 balls remaining.
