He was one of only three batsman to reach double figures alongside Khaya Zondo (39) and Jon-Jon Smuts (43) as Boland’s spinner Imran Manack finished with impressive figures of 4/24 in 9.4 overs.

That left the Dolphins setting a below par score of 174 all out in the 50th over.

The top order of Boland made light work of the chase as Grant Roelofsen (52) and Gavin Kaplan (50) helped guide them to the target within 39 overs.
