and Mickleburgh, aided by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MA-Vermeulen-c1872 (8*), got the Rhinos up to a final total of 183 by the end of 20 overs.

Top-order batsmen Cephas Zhuwao (5) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CJ-Chibhabha-c1263 (39) and skipper Matsikenyeri
(who top-scored for the team with 67 off 44) both set up a solid 52-run stand for the third wicket.
Cremer claimed Chibhabha as his first victim of the day in the 11th over, but Matsikenyeri powered on, establishing a 78-run partnership with wicketkeeper batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/F-Mutizwa-c1426 (44*), which got the team total up to 153 by the 17th
over.
The skipper was snapped up by Cremer as his second wicket of the day, but Mutizwa kept the innings moving steadily forward, and aided by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/E-Chigumbura-c1411 (19*), with whom he set up an unbeaten 31-run stand, got the Eagles safely up to 184, with 6 wickets
still in hand, and 5 deliveries remaining.
