Dolphins grab One-Day Cup

After sneaking into the play-offs, the Dolphins took full advantage of the opportunity, going all the way to beat Boland by four wickets in the CSA One-Day Cup final in Paarl yesterday.

Set a target of 248 runs to win, the visitors were anchored by veteran opening batter JJ Smuts (above), who hit 91 runs off 111 balls in an innings which included 11 fours.

He was well supported by Khaya Zondo (who made 45 runs), as the duo shared 78 runs for the fourth wicket.

After Zondo and Smuts fell, Hanu Viljoen carried the Dolphins over the line with a patient 35 not out, as he guided his team to 248/6 with five balls to spare.
