Titans v Warriors – Momentum One Day Cup, 2012/13 – Match Update – Centurion van Jaarsveld guides Titans to 7-wicket victory
A fluent unbeaten century from skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Martin-van-Jaarsveld-c74944 propelled the Titans to a 7-wicket win over the Warriors in the ongoing Momentum One Day Cup, at the Willowmoore Park in Benoni on November 25.
The Warriors opted to bat first after winning the toss, but Roelof van der Merwe (10-0-50-4) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JA-Morkel-c1613 (10-1-36-3) did not allow them to play through smoothly. While most of the Warriors’ batsmen managed to make it past single digits, they were unable
to apply themselves effectively at the crease.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Colin-Alexander-Ingram-c51381 (13) followed suit soon after, also dismissed by Morkel, in the 10th over, but his successor
Colin Ackermann (27) managed to join Prince for a 43-run partnership for the third wicket.
Their efforts brought the team total up to 92, after which Prince was bowled by van der Merwe. However, wicketkeeper skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Davy-Jacobs-c1343 anchored the innings by top-scoring with 51, in addition to setting up a number of steady partnerships.
His 35-run stand with Ackermann was followed by a 34-run partnership with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jacobs-c65213 was sent back to the
pavilion by Morkel, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861’ total had swelled to 166 for 6.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Ntini-c1865 (9*) at the crease, the
Warriors posted a final total of 241.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Titans-c856 made light work of the target, which they reached at the expense of just 3 wickets. Birch (9-1-44-2) made valiant attempts to defend the Warriors' total, but his efforts remained unsupported, with Walters (8-0-59-1) being the sole other bowler
who managed to claim a wicket.
Top-order batsmen http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HG-Kuhn-c1548 (86) for a 142-run partnership,
and after the dismissal of Kuhn, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Farhaan-Behardien-c56785 (8*) teamed up with the skipper for a 51*-run stand for the fourth wicket, which saw the Titans home, with 7 wickets and 52 deliveries to spare.
