The race for honours in the Western Province Cricket Association Premier League competition is hotting up with both Western Province Cricket Club and Durbanville having scored their second successive victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Durbanville had little difficulty in beating Cape Town Cricket Club (CTCC) by 103 runs at home. Batting first, Durbanville compiled 222\/7 in their allotted 50 overs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ruben Senekal, the Durbies middle-order batsman, stabilised the innings with a top score of 66 runs, while veteran seamer Brendan Young (3\/43) was the pick of the CTCC bowling attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In reply, the visitors were saved from a rout by an undefeated knock (45*) by Clint Botha as the rest of the batsmen floundered against the off-spin of long-serving Robbie van der Ross (3\/42) as they could only muster 119 all out in 34 overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Home side Western Province Cricket Club (WPCC) were also in the rampant mood with an eight-wicket win over Claremont. Set to score 147 for victory, WPCC\u2019s top-order batsmen Derek Michell (64) and Junaid Allie (63*), with a second wicket stand of 142 runs, paved the way for their comfortable win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, Claremont struggled as they were bowled out for 146 runs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their batsmen struggled against the combined spin of Kyle Schreuder (3\/19) and the pace of Kyle Klein (3\/25) as they were dismissed in 45 overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the First Division A, front-runners in the competition Ottomans for once had their bowlers to thank for their easy 71-run win over home side Pinelands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This time it was the promising all-rounder Abdul-Galeem Rylands (22) from Grassy Park who returned his best figures of 6\/20 that caused havoc among the opposition batsmen as they struggled to 81\/9 in their allotted overs. This was in reply to Ottomans\u2019 total of 152, with Taahier Samaai (33) top-scoring. The result means Ottomans are now on a seven-match winning streak and will next face Milnerton Cricket Club on Saturday 12 February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Second-placed Primrose surprisingly came unstuck against home side Glamorgan. The latter, chasing 223 for victory, secured a three-wicket with four balls remaining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The win was set up by opening batter Franco Kasner (61) and a useful half century by all-rounder Malcolm Cloete (51*).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tygerberg amassed the highest score of the day (292\/7) in their convincing 146-run win over Strandfontein. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opening batsman Crescendo Makasella (88) was instrumental in setting up Tygers\u2019 match-winning score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
