Blackwidow T20 finals

This past Wednesday at the Imperial Wanderers stadium the final of the Blackwidow T20 Tournament took place. The first match was the women's final which was competed between Delfos Ladies vs Soweto Pioneer Ladies.

The Delfos Ladies won the toss and chose to bat and posted 130-4 in 20 overs their innings was built around star batter Modester Mupachikwa who scored 76 of 58 balls with 1 six and 10 fours. Jameelah Shaikjee contributed with a cameo 16 of 7 which included 3 boundaries.

The chase was delayed by rain and 9 overs were lost due to the rain staying around for over an hour. The Soweto Pioneers were set a revised target of 82 from 11 overs when they came out to chase and made a good start in pursuit of their target but once they lost the wicket of S.Kemp who scored 20 of 17 the rest of their batsman struggled to put up a fight against very good bowling performance from the Delfos Ladies team as they won the match by 20 runs on the Duckworth Lewis system and were crowned champions of the women's Blackwidow T20 tournament for 2021/22.

The second match of the day was the men's final between the Delfos cc and Old Eds. Old Eds batted 1st and posted a total of 178-6 in 20 overs with Lions batsman Ruan Haasbroek being the star scoring 83 of 49 and also adding taking 1-33 in 4 overs with the ball later on.

In the chase for Delfos C, Abrahams and J.DU Toit both put up a great effort to chase the target set with contributions of 31 of 15 and 47 of 40 but after them, the rest of the batters struggled to score as the Old Eds spinners bowled brilliantly during the middle overs as Old Eds claimed victory by 22 runs to be crowned champions of the men's Blackwidow T20 tournament for 2021/22.

The day showed that on both sides the women's and men's cricket pipeline for the lines and Proteas has a lot of talent available eg players like Codi Yusuf, Ruan Haasbroek, M Van Vuuren, Modester and Shaikjee all have bright future ahead of them as they will be starts for the Imperial Lions and Proteas.
