Jonathan Vandiar, Titans vs Cape Cobras

Cape Cobras vs Titans    Cape Cobras captain Dane Piedt took seven for 66 in the Titans' second innings to bowl the defending champions out for 151 after recording a first innings haul of six for 75. It gave the spinner career-best match-figures of 13 for 141, surpassing the Cobras' previous best of 12 for 105 by Wayne Parnell against the Dolphins at Cape Town in 2015-16. Piedt also charged past 50 wickets for the season, with his new tally of 52 putting him streets ahead of the chasing pack. Victory saw the home side move to 171,46 points at the top of the table, although their 25-plus points looked certain to be reduced by the end of the round on Thursday. However, the Cobras did all that was asked for them in their penultimate fixture at the Recreation Ground this week. They started day three on 299 for five and managed to add 76 for the final five wickets, Jason Smith scoring 48. Sixty-eight of those runs came from the sixth-wicket stand between the all-rounder and Ferisco Adams, who managed 27 runs off his bat. Once the stand had been broken with the score on 260, all of the Cobras' five remaining first-innings wickets fell for just 15 runs. Among those was star opener Pieter Malan, who had retired hurt on 95 (184 balls, 12x4) earlier in his innings, but on his return he lasted three more balls without troubling the scorers. The pick of the bowlers was Shaun von Berg with four for 137 as the Cape side were bowled out for 375, a lead of exactly 100. The Titans' second innings lasted just 65.1 overs as Piedt made merry, his seven wickets including that of top-scorer Andrea Agathangelou (84 off 181 balls, 10x4, 2x6). Farhaan Behardien (24) was the only other man to reach the 20s, with the visiting side continuing their inconsistencies with the bat this season. Apart from Piedt, the Cobras' other spinner, George Linde, ended with two for 45 as the Titans were bundled out for 151, leaving the Cobras with a victory target of just 52 runs in their second innings. Debutant Leus du Plooy (2-29) struck twice as Malan was given a break from opening the batting due to his injury, but Zubayr Hamza (26) and David Bedingham (16) guided their side to a vital win. Titans 275 (JL du Plooy 97 not out, H Davids 47, S von Berg 30, AP Agathangelou 29, VB Mahlangu 23; DL Piedt 6-75, GF Linde 3-88) & 151 (AP Agathangelou 84, F Behardien 24; DL Piedt 7-66, GF Linde 2-45) Cape Cobras 375 (PJ Malan 95, SM Khomari 77, JF Smith 48, DG Bedingham 41, Zubayr Hamza 28, FD Adams 27, GF Linde 21; S von Berg 4-137, M Arnold 3-62, SA Mothoa 1-45, JL du Plooy 1-48) & 52-2 (Zubayr Hamza 26 not out) Cape Cobras won by 8 wickets Footage: Cricket South Africa
