ACC scribe, Peter Lonie, set the stage for the match, “ACC captain, Tegan Naidoo, won the toss and elected to bat first. Despite the early loss of a wicket, the visitors piled on the runs thanks largely to a splendid century from Tylor Trenoweth (100) and a well-constructed half-century from Luc Kanda (72).”

Trenoweth took the fight to Hillary-Malvern’s bowlers in the first 10-over power play and once the fielding restrictions were lifted, manipulated the field, finding low-risk singles with ease. The end of the first innings saw ACC’s score sitting at a comfortable 237/8.

The visiting side made it difficult for Hillary-Malvern, restricting them to 30/3 in the first 10-over power play, with Muhammad Khan (3/21) bagging all three wickets.

Lonie added, “The introduction of spin once again brought wickets with Jarryd Michaux (3/22), Gareth Lonie (2/28) and Dylan Labuschagne (2/29) snapping up the last seven wickets. The last wicket fell with the score on 162, handing ACC a 75-run win with a bonus point to remain second in KZN Castle Premier League.”

The formidable ACC first team’s next fixture pits them against Rhythm DHSOB at the Amanzimtoti Oval on February 2.
