Cape Town had a stern struggle to overcome heroic resistance from Tygerberg's professional Vernon Philander, but were ultimately full value for their seven-wicket win.  With the visitors' off-spin pairing of Matthew Olsen and Donovan Holman sharing 15 wickets between them, Cape Town were able to bowl their hosts out twice and then chase down a victory target of 128 with relative ease.  Cape Town's fifth Two-Day win gave them a finishing position in the top third of the log, while Tygerberg now faces the almost certain prospect of relegation.   Read More...
