Six Gun Grill Western Province and Dafabet Warriors secured comfortable wins in the Cricket South Africa (CSA) 4-Day Series on Saturday.

A triple century from Tony de Zorzi (304* off 381) and a ton from Yaseen Vallie saw Western Province claim an innings and 155-run victory against the ITEC Knights.

Knights’ efforts from Raynard van Tonder (117 off 222), and Pite van Biljon (71 off 142) proved insufficient as the visitors were bowled out for 309 runs, following 111 runs from their first innings.

George Linde and Dane Paterson claimed three wickets each to help the Cape Town-based side secure another victory at home.

Meanwhile, in Gqeberha, the Warriors claimed a 239-run victory against North West Dragons, to make it three wins from three matches.

Matthew Breetzke followed his unbeaten century from the first innings with 91 runs as Warriors declared on 177/5, with a 442-run lead.

A big ask for the Dragons, who were bowled out for 203 on Saturday afternoon. Renaldo Meyer top-scored in his 42 off 16, with other contributions from Delano Potgieter (38*) and Duan Jansen (35).

Marco Jansen claimed three scalps and teammate, Ziyaad Abrahams grabbed two wickets.

In Johannesburg, the DP World Lions slumped to 139 all out in their second innings and Momentum Multiply Titans have to chase only 44 runs on Sunday.

Simon Harmer was most destructive against the Lion’s batting line-up, claiming 14 wickets in total; seven scalps in each innings.

Earlier, Theunis de Bruyn’s century (101 off 94) helped Titans set a first-innings score of 449 all out, with a 95-run lead for their counterparts. De Bruyn had the support of half-centuries from Neil Brand (91 off 174) Heinrich Klaasen (69 off 75), and Dean Elgar (55 off 97).

Duan Olivier claimed three wickets, whilst Malusi Siboto, Sisanda Magala and Reeza Hendricks took two each.

Day 3 was abandoned without a ball bowled between the Hollywoodbets Dolphins and Gbets Rocks due to inclement weather in Durban.
