Titans 163/4 (20/20 ov) v Perth Scorchers 124/7 (20.0/20 ov) - Titans won by 39 runs
JA Rudolph’s 83 run-knock, and a three-wicket haul by CJD de Villiers, earned Titans a 39-run win against Perth Scorchers in the group A match of the ongoing Champions League Twenty20 at SuperSport Park, Centurion.
After being asked to bat first, Titans were given a mindboggling opening stand of 109 by JA Rudolph and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hugh-Morris-c63550 Davids.
Finally MA Beer broke the shackles by nabbing the wicket of Davids, who had his stumps obliterated after scoring 54 runs.
This, however, did not unnerve Rudolph, who remorselessly kept hammering the bowlers all around the park.
With 160 on the scoreboard, the batting side suffered the loss of their second wicket when M http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Graham-Robert-Cowdrey-c60631 Jaarsveld, who had come in at number-three, was caught by North after jabbing an innings of 19 runs.
The fielding side made a commendable comeback by grabbing two more wickets with only 162 on the board, restricting the opposition from hammering another ten to twenty runs. Rudolph stayed unbeaten as his side managed to put a stiff total on the board.
Requiring a staggering opening stand in order to reach the target, Perth saw their first wicket go down with 16 on the board as opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SE-Marsh-c2470, perished after scoring seven.
On the next delivery, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gibbs-c60021. The batsman fell after posting 19 runs.
Katich was then joined by MR http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-James-Marshall-c90362 as the two batsmen desperately tried to halt Titans from bagging anymore wickets.
However, with 60 on the board, Katich hit the showers after he was caught and bowled by ER Links.
The demise of Katich on 23, triggered a batting collapse with batsmen failing to counter the bowling offensive.
With Marsh unbeaten on 52, the Titans lost the game after scoring only 124 for the loss of seven wickets.
