The CSA T20 Challenge 2022 season continued on October 22 with two matches in Potchefstroom. Here is a look at the highlights from both those fixtures.


Dolphins vs Boland

The Dolphins opener, Grant Roelofsen, did bulk of the scoring in their modest first-innings attempt against Boland. The wicketkeeper-batsman piled up a fluent 66 at the top, and top-scored in their 136-run total.

Boland batters responded rapidly in the run-chase, despite losing their opener for a duck in the first over. Farhaan Behardien listed a quickfire 24* and ensured his side remained ahead of the par score in a rain-curtailed contest.

Dolphins: 136-7 (20)

Grant Roelofsen 66 (48), Tshepang Dithole 22 (27)
Bamanye Xenxe 3-21, Shaun von Berg 2-27

Boland: 87-3 (11.2)
