[Match Thread] Rhinos v Rocks (Faithwear)

Post by Train Driver »

Not much change in Kwekwe :(

Match delayed due to a wet outfield with no teams selected so far

Weather is shown as 18C and mostly cloudy

Not very good news for Tuskers fans either, a win for Rhinos would be the best result to give Tuskers the chance of a semi final place

Southern Rocks 42/3 (7.3/20 ov)

Good start by the Rhinos by getting the danger man Ervine out early :D

We really need a win here after stuttering of late

Not a bad score from Rocks, 131-8 from their 20 overs, but not a good score by any means.

Tikolo 36 and Odoyo 28, Muzarabani 2-19, Cremer 2-24 and Rainsford 2-26

The game is still there for both sides .........

Rhinos are home and dry, or should that be home and wet this week, with an 8 wicket win and definitely into the semi finals

Rhinos 132-2, Wessels 74*, Taylor 32, Sibanda 12*, Machiri 1-8, Mahwire 1-16
