The North West Dragons Women rewrote the script in the T20 Provincial Cup match against the KZN Inland Tuskers Women this past Sunday (November 15) at the Witrand Oval with a 38-run victory.
The Dragons women had a lot to prove after they succumbed to a 73-run loss against the KZN Tuskers in the CSA Provincial One Day Cup match at the Witrand Oval yesterday (Saturday, November 14).
The Dragons were in good form in the T20 scoring 149/6 in 20 overs, thanks to superb 64 (51) from Anica Swart, a former Baillie Park and Potch Gimmies learner. Tamzyn Hartman also hit a solid 44 for the hosts as she and Swart put on 105 for the first wicket.
The Tuskers were restricted to 111/4 in their 20 overs. SA u19 captain and Tuskers batter, Mieke van Voorst hit 39 from 29 balls, but Katlego Setlhodi picked up her wicket, which stalled the innings for the visitors.
The Dragons bowled beautifully in the One Day clash, bowling out the Tuskers for only 151 in 37 overs, but were then skittled out for only 78 in 27.3 overs in a disappointing batting performance.
The top bowler for the Dragons was Leani Swanepoel who took 4/36 in 8 overs. Tlotlo Bogatsu also impressed with 2/25.
The chief destroyers for the Tuskers were Jessica Candler (4/27) and Kiandri Bierbaum (3/8).
