Washed out result

THE McCarthy Toyota uThungulu cricket side travelled to Durban for their second Premier League match of the 2013/14 cricket season.

This time they took on Topham at Kingsmead Oval.

Batting first, the uThungulu team put up a much better performance scoring a more than adequate 195 all out in their turn with the bat.

Otto Rode top scored with a superb innings of 77 not out. He was more than ably supported by Eugene Zwart 38, Jason Redinger 37 and Stephan Joubert 22.

This was a much better effort from the batsmen which now gave their bowlers an excellent chance to have a full go at the opposing batsmen.

Daryn du Pavillon gave them a good start with 2/22 in his opening spell of six overs. Angus Kramer took 1/12 from two overs when rain came down, washing out any further play with the home team at 137/3 after 34.4 overs.

They still needed 59 runs at a run rate of nearly four runs an over to win the game.
