Titans cruise to victory, Boland survive late wobble

At SuperSport Park, Dewald Brevis smashed 83 off 26 balls, including 11 sixes and two fours, as the Titans piled up 260-4. Lhuan-dre Pretorius contributed 80 off 53 deliveries, hitting 11 fours and two sixes.

Sinethemba Qeshile added 35 off 22 balls, while captain Donovan Ferreira provided a strong finish with an unbeaten 38 off 16, striking three fours and three sixes.

The Titans then restricted Eastern Storm to 161-7 to complete a 99-run victory and extend their winning start to five matches.

Earlier, Boland overcame a late flurry of wickets to chase down SA Emerging’s 151-4, reaching 155-7 with 21 balls to spare.

Neil Brand led the charge, reaching his half-century off 23 deliveries with five fours and four sixes.

Brand and Gavin Kaplan shared a 70-run second-wicket partnership before Kaplan’s dismissal left Boland on 92-2 after eight overs. Lehan Botha followed with the score on 113, while Brand’s departure reduced the visitors to 122-4.

SA Emerging kept themselves in the contest by removing Ferisco Adams before Imran Manack and Glenton Stuurman fell from consecutive deliveries with the total on 148. Boland nevertheless found the remaining runs in the following over to complete the win.

Vihan Pretorius had earlier top-scored for SA Emerging with an unbeaten 53 off 43 balls. Tiaan Brits contributed 31 off 34, while Divan de Villiers finished unbeaten on 38 off 28 to help the batting side reach 151-4.
