Mountaineers beat Mid West Rhinos by 20 runs Brian Bennett 62(48) | Ryan Burl 55(22) Donald Tripano 5-17(3.3) | Carl Mumba 2-37(3)
An unbelievable win for the Mountaineers after Donald Tiripano turned the game on its head with a fifer. When Ryan Burl was hitting them the game seemed dead and buried.
But from 162 for four in 15.3 overs, the Rhinos collapsed to 167 all out in 18.3 overs after Burl got out. Tiripano got into the act and took 4 of the last 5 wickets to fall.
The Rhinos were behind the rate when they were reduced to 53/3 and then 91/4 but Burl and Naqvi launched a stirring counter-attack with the left-hander especially severe on the loose stuff.
But it was Tiripano who had the final say with his full and straight bowling.
A superb finish and one that was least expected with the way the Rhinos were going.
Donald Tripano (Man of the Match): I am really happy for the guys and very pleased to help the team over the line. The batters played magnificently. After winning this game, the guys are pumped up and looking forward to the next match
18.3 Donald Tripano to Brandon Mavuta, OUT! DONALD TRIPANO WITH AN UNBELIEVABLE FIFE-FER AND THE MOUNTAINEERS DEFIED ALL ODDS STACKED AGAINST THEM TO COME OUT ON TOP. Back of a length angling in, Mavuta tries to swipes this across but was rushed due to the sheer pace and the ball raps him on the front pad
