SA Cricket Magazine reports the Lions claimed an eight-wicket victory (DLS method) over the Titans.

Opting to field first after winning the toss, the Lions restricted the Titans to 131-9 in their rain-reduced 18 overs.

Jack Lees led the Titans’ batting with an unbeaten 64* off 43 deliveries, receiving sole support from Rivaldo Moonsamy (24).

Twenty-one-year-old leg spinner Nqaba Peter was the bowler of the match with figures of 4-18 in four overs, while Codi Yusuf claimed two wickets.

Chasing a target of 132, the Lions faced an early setback with the loss of Reeza Hendricks.

However, Rassie van der Dussen’s unbeaten 73*, along with contributions from Ryan Rickelton (38) and Temba Bavuma (19*), ensured a smooth chase as the hosts achieved victory in 14.4 overs.

The final will take place at the Wanderers on Sunday (14:00).
