Van Jaarsveld stars for Dolphins
A second innings century from Vaughn van Jaarsveld and five second innings wickets from Keshav Maharaj put the Hollywoodbets Dolphins in a strong position with the Warriors needing 114 runs to win with four wickets in hand their Sunfoil Series clash on Sunday in Port Elizabeth.
The Dolphins started the third day with Van Jaarsveld on 51 and Sibz Makhanya on 39.
Wickets would have been the order of the morning for the Warriors, but Van Jaarsveld and Makhanya continued to pile the pressure on the hosts before the latter fell with the score on 253.
Van Jaarsveld’s 110, which included 17 fours and a six, was the difference as the Dolphins set the Warriors 286 to win the match.
The Dolphins’ bowling was on point on Saturday as they had the Warriors 172/6 at the close of play on day three.
Maharaj’s return of 5/52 from 22.4 overs proved to be the big difference on Saturday with the hosts still needing 114 runs to win on day four with four wickets in hand.
