Of the 17 PNB pairs entries, two teams are still in contention for national honours.

Wayne Roberts and John Peacock from Hillcrest Bowling Club have stormed through to the last 16.

Their PNB counterparts, Ruuan Victor and Keegan Bauristhene (entered as Amanzimtoti BC), face a must-win clash against Mike Underwood and Logan Subramony of Comrades BC (Border Bowls).

Should Victor and Bauristhene prevail, they'll be set up for a PNB showdown against Roberts and Peacock on Friday in a battle to progress to the quarter-final.

In the open singles, 14 PNB bowlers endured a gruelling day of sectional matches and early playoff rounds this past Monday.
