The big top of the table clash between NWU and Potch Dorp ended in a no-result when rain intervened during the innings break at the Witrand Oval. Potch Dorp had the upper hand, having restricted NWU to 188/9 in 50 overs.
In a fine bowling effort for Dorp, the top bowlers were the Hollard brothers, Matthew and Jordan. Matthew finished with figures of 3/30 from 10 overs with his right arm pace, while Jordan contained the middle overs with an accurate right-arm off-spin.
Jordan ended with figures of 1/36 from 10 overs. Alex Meyer also picked up 2/17 in five overs and Max Sereo was tidy with 1/25 in 7 overs. The top batsman for NWU was Heinrigh Pieterse, who hit a patient 58 (86) when his batting partners failed.
Potch Dorp made it to 2/0 from 1.4 overs before the rain had the final say. NWU next takes on NWU Taurus at the NWU Oval this coming weekend (27 March).
