THE Hollywoodbets Dolphins and the Gbets Rocks drew their CSA 4-Day Domestic Series clash at Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium on Sunday, November 27.
The match, which is the second and final four-day match until the new year, saw the Dolphins in a strong position with the bat in their first innings.
Jon-Jon Smuts was awarded the Player of the Match award for his 5 for 55 in the first innings – a first five-wicket haul in first-class cricket for the Dolphins. SJ Erwee scored a half-century which will be a positive for him and the Proteas as he heads off with the national team on a test tour in Australia starting in December.
In another positive for the national team, Keshav Maharaj was back in action after recovering from an injury, and he picked up 3 for 80 in the first innings as he also embarks on the tour of Australia.
