THE McCarthy Toyota uThungulu cricket team annihilated African Warriors in a 50 over Premier Division match played at Addison Park, Empangeni on Saturday.
The home side won the toss and elected to bat first on a flat and dead wicket.
Captain Eugene Zwart lead from the front, knocking a well played 75, with Neil Jordan smashing 58 and Johnny Riekert 46.
Zwart and Jordan put together a 109 run partnership which helped the home side reach 241 all out.
Theo Townsend claimed four scalps for 29 runs in six overs.
Needing 4.82 runs an over seemed reasonable on the flat batting track.
But spinner Stephan Joubert work his wizardry, claiming five wickets for 20 runs in 9.5 overs.
Jordan and Angus Kramer managed 2/18 with the nut to bowl the visitors out for 86 runs in the 30.5th over, to hand uThungulu a handsome 155 run victory.
N Nkwanyana made 29 with the bat, but his efforts were in vain.
McCarthy Toyota uThungulu finished the 2013/14 season in seventh place on the premier division log with a total of 34 points after 18 games.
The uThungulu outfit will now move on into the 20/20 league, where they will meet Delta in their first encounter on Saturday at Addison Park.
