A look at this week’s results;

Momentum Multiply Titans vs Hollywoodbets Dolphins – SuperSport Park, Centurion

Bryce Parsons' century propelled the Hollywoodbets Dolphins to a comfortable 30-run victory via the DLS Method over the Momentum Multiply Titans in Centurion on Wednesday.

With Dolphins batting first, Parsons powered to an unbeaten 102* off 48 deliveries (8 fours and 7 sixes).

He, along with Jon Jon Smuts (61* off 33, including 8 fours and 2 sixes) amassed an unbroken 156-run partnership as the visitors posted a competitive total of 184 runs for the Titans to chase.

Earlier, inclement weather conditions halted play, with the visitors on 29-1 after 3.2 overs, following an early breakthrough by David Wiese, who dismissed Grant Roelofsen for 11 runs. The match was eventually reduced to 14 overs per side.

Facing a daunting target, the Titans' response was met with formidable resistance from the Dolphins' bowling unit, which consistently chipped away at the opposition's batting lineup, ultimately limiting them to 152/5 in their allotted 14 overs.

Joshua van Heerden (56 off 35) provided some resistance for the hosts, well supported by Wiese who scored a quick (30* from 13).

Standout performances from the Dolphins' bowlers further solidified their dominance, with Okuhle Cele emerging as the most impactful, claiming two crucial wickets in his spell of three overs. Meanwhile, skipper Prenelan Subrayen showcased his mettle by maintaining tight control over the proceedings, conceding just 15 runs while also picking up a wicket in his two overs.

Hollywoodbets Dolphins vs Gbets Rocks – Dafabet St George’s Park

Marques Ackerman smashed an unbeaten 50 off 32 balls (3 fours, 2 sixes), Khaya Zondo hit 35 and Bryce Parsons made 31 to lift the Dolphins to 158/4 after they lost the toss and were asked to bat first.

Glenton Stuurman (1/24), Imran Manack and Shaun von Berg (both 1/26) all impressed with the ball for the Paarl side, who then chased down the total in 19.3 overs thanks to a blistering performance by Christiaan Jonker.

Von Berg too played a vital hand by landing 26* off 16 balls, playing an important support role for veteran Jonker, who finished the game with three sixes and two fours in a 26-ball 40*.

This was a first win of the campaign for Gbets Rocks after they overcame Dolphins by 4 wickets.
