so the Cobras win their third successive match, an amazing turnaround of fortunes. The Titans were top of the log two weeks ago, but have now suffered innings defeats on successive weekends.

The Cobras pace attack did the trick this afternoon. They were aggressive but also benefitted from uneven bounce.

The Cobras were inspired by their captain Justin Kemp. He wrecked the Titans first innings with his medium pacers, taking four wickets, while his 93 was the foundation for the Cobras total. He is the Man of the Match.

The Titans were dismissed for their second lowest total since the inception of the franchise system, the lowest of 103 also having being at the hands of the Cobras.

That is all from Boland Bank. The next action here will be 2 MTN40 games to be played between Christmas and the New Year weekend. Til then, goodbye.
