The Unlimited Titans continued their winning streak when they defeated the Warriors by five wickets at SuperSport Park on Sunday evening.
The game was a double-header after the Cape Cobras managed to end the Dolphins’ unbeaten run earlier at the same venue.
The warriors started badly when Jon Jon Smuts was dismissed by fast bowler Chris Morris in the second over.
But then Colin Ingram entered, who together with Colin Ackermann, smashed Morris all over the park. The latter went for 21 runs in his first two overs. The pair put up a partnership of 58 runs until Ingram was stumped by De Kock.
The Warriors went on to reach 149 on a wicket that favoured the batsmen.
The Titans run-chase started like a house on fire with both Quinton de Kock and Henry Davids scoring freely in the first six overs. Not only did they score boundaries, but they also kept the required run rate below six per over.
Though Davids departed for 43 with the score on 71, the momentum stayed with the men from Centurion as De Kock kept piling on the runs.
The opener was eventually gone when Smuts took a brilliant catch off the bowling of Ackerman but the damage had already been done.
Farhaan Behardien saw the Titans through with 17 balls to spare.
The Titans’ fourth win in a row sees them level on points with pacesetters Dolphins on 16 points.
