Pretorius, de Kock star in Lions win

A swashbuckling knock by Dwaine Pretorius helped Lions to their second win in the Ram Slam T20 Challenge as they comfortably overhauled Titans' total in Johannesburg. Pretorius walked in at the fall of Quinton de Kock's wicket in the 14th over with 65 runs still needed. He waited just four ball before smashing first of his four sixes. In the 18th over, he took 14 runs off the four balls he faced off Marchant de Lange. By the time he was out in the 19th over, only three were needed. Jean Symes smashed his first ball to the boundary to complete the chase with seven balls to spare. Ethy Mbhalati picked up all three wickets.

Lions were given a strong start by de Kock, who missed out his half-century by three runs. But Neil McKenzie stayed unbeaten on 32 to steer the chase.

Titans, put into bat, lost a couple of wickets in the first three overs, but came back strong and were on 92 for 3 in the 13th over. But regular wickets from there on meant that Titans weren't able to push beyond 150. Ferhaan Behardien and Henry Davids top-scored with 36. Sohail Tanvir, Aaron Phangiso and Hardus Viljoen shared two wickets each.
