• Tailenders save the day for Titans

    Published on

    A ninth-wicket partnership of 43 between Dayyaan Galiem and Junior Dala carried the Northerns Titans to a two-wicket victory over the EP Warriors in Potchefstroom.

    Needing just 120 to win, the Titans collapsed to 77-8 before Galiem (29*) and Dala (14*) showed some composure to get them over the line with three balls remaining.

    Earlier, 38-year-old former Proteas spinner Aaron Phangiso took 4-23 in four overs as the Warriors were restricted to 119-7.

    Matthew Breetzke top-scored for the Warriors with a run-a-ball 26.

    The Titans’ fifth win in six matches puts them well clear at the top of the T20 Challenge log, with the Warriors in fifth place.

    Friday’s second match, between the KZN Dolphins and Free State Knights, was abandoned due to rain with the Knights on 100-9 after 17.1 overs.
