Lions hold aces in final, but KP and Lhuan-dre still there for Titans

THE last day of the South African cricket summer has arrived, and the Lions require seven wickets to claim a successive CSA First-Class title at the Wanderers on Monday.

- ZAAHIER ADAMS,

The home team were utterly dominant on the fourth day of the showpiece final with their impressive bowling unit forcing the Titans to follow-on after the visitors were dismissed for just 123 in response to the Lions’ 413/7.

With the Lions’ bowlers only utilising 47 overs to dismiss the Titans, captain Dominic Hendricks had no hesitation in asking his bowling unit to strap on their boots again.

And although the Titans’ batters have fared much better second time around, heading to stumps at 118/3, they still trail by a mammoth 172 runs.
