Proteas Women captain Dane van Niekerk - announcement of World T20 squad
Shabnim Ismail and Trisha Chetty are in the Proteas Women squad for the first ever stand-alone ICC Women’s World T20 to be held in the West Indies from 9-24 November 2018. The sixth edition of the 10-team tournament will take place across three venues – Antigua, Saint Lucia and Guyana. The selectors have kept the bulk of the squad that recently completed a tour of the Windies, with the return of stalwarts Ismail and Chetty to finish off the dangerous-looking squad. Fast bowler Ayabonga Khaka has not sufficiently recovered from her shoulder surgery and was not considered for selection. Three of the four newest members of the team that toured the West Indies have also received the nod. Tumi Sekhukhune, Robyn Searle and Saarah Smith will make their World Cup debuts. It will be a doubly exciting tournament with the Decision Review System (DRS) being used in an ICC World T20 for the very first time. South Africa will play in Group A in St Lucia against defending champions West Indies, England, Sri Lanka and World Cup Qualifier winners Bangladesh. Group B comprises Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and Ireland. ‘Good luck to our Proteas Ladies as they head for the West Indies with high expectations for the ICC Women’s World T20,’ commented CSA chief executive Thabang Moroe. ‘They reached the semi-final of this tournament in Bangladesh in 2014 and came agonisingly close to a first appearance in a final in last year’s ICC Women’s World Cup in England. ‘The time has now arrived for them to take that next step forward and get into the championship match. They can take a lot of justifiable confidence out of their recently completed tour of the West Indies where they drew both the ODI and T20 Series against their hosts who are the defending champions for the ICC World T20. ‘They also had to make do without a number of key players. From CSA’s perspective, we have left no stone unturned in our support for Dane [van Niekerk] and her team to put them on the same level of preparation as our Proteas’ men’s team,’ concluded Moroe.

Alfred Mothoa speaking after taking five Dolphins wickets
A devastating five-for from Alfred Mothoa handed the Titans the advantage at the end of day one of the 4-Day Franchise Series season against the Dolphins in Centurion on Wednesday. Having bowled exactly 4,500 balls in his previous 37 first-class matches, the 28-year-old Mothoa took his second career five-for as he claimed five for 55 to help the reigning champions bowl out the visitors for 269 shortly before stumps. The Titans then replied with nine runs for the loss of one wicket.
Action from day one of the 4-Day Franchise Series match between the Titans and the Dolphins
The Dolphins kicked off the 2018-19 domestic 4-Day Franchise Series at SuperSport Park by posting 269 runs against the Titans at SuperSport Park thanks to heroics from Sibonelo Makhanya. The morning session firmly belonged to the Titans bowlers as they picked up three wickets at the expense of just 82 runs. The Dolphins top-order failed to impress as the top three batsmen were back in the pavilion before lunch thanks to productive bowling from Chris Morris (2-34), Alfred Mothoa (5-55) and Shaun von Berg (2-71)– who each picked up a wicket before the interval. After winning the toss and electing to bat first, Dolphins openers Jason Oakes (31 off 52 balls, five fours) and Grant Roelofsen (31 off 90 balls, five fours) each made impressive starts and shared a 52-run opening partnership. They failed to capitalise and both lost their wickets before the break. Not much changed after lunch as the Dolphins lost a further four wickets thanks to an inspired spell from Mothoa, who continued where he left off in the first session by picking up a further three wickets in the second session, leaving the Dolphins reeling at 143-7. The Dolphins managed to register 172-7 at tea after Makhanya valiantly stuck it out during the second session while suffering with what appeared to be a stomach bug. Makhanya was the pick of the batsmen with his 86 off 156 balls (including 10 fours and two sixes) as he and captain Keshav Maharaj (41 off 60 balls, six fours) posted a 90-run partnership for the eighth wicket to frustrate the Titans bowlers in the last session of the day. Titans captain Farhaan Behardien soon brought Mothoa back into the attack and his decision was rewarded as the paceman broke the troublesome partnership by getting rid of Maharaj. Mothoa starred with the ball as he finished with figures of 5-55 at an economy of 3.05. Alfred Mothoa picks up five-for in the first innings The Titans will resume on 9-1 on Thursday morning as Andrea Agathangelou and nightwatchman Eldred Hawken survived to the end of the day after Maharaj dismissed Tony de Zorzi with the first delivery of his spell.
Tanzania v Uganda
Tanzania vs Uganda In the tight contest of the day at the ICC World Twenty20 Africa B Qualifier, Tanzania was pushed all the way, before eventually prevailing in the final over of their chase. In pursuit of 156 to win, they got there with just five balls to spare, as Uganda made them scrap for every run. Having batted first, Uganda themselves had compiled 155 for eight in their 20 overs, with skipper Roger Mukasa (38), Ronak Patel (33) and Dinesh Nakrani (32 from 11 balls) all chipping in towards the competitive total. With ball in hand, Zamoyoni Jaboneke garnered three for 28, while Kassim Mussa weighed in with three for 15, the first hattrick at Gahanga. Tanzania had to go at just short of eight runs an over, against a disciplined attack, and they were made to work very hard for their runs. Abhik Patwa's 36-ball 47 was the foundation for the chase, before Muhammad Zaifar Khan made 40 not out. He got support from Jaboneke, who added a breezy 32 off just 12 balls to finish off a fine day for Tanzania. Uganda: 155 for eight (R Mukasa 38, R Patel 33, K Mussa 3/15) Tanzania: 158 for four (A Patwa 47, M Khan 40 not out, Z Jaboneke 32 not out) Tanzania won by six wickets
