Rocks vs North West Dragons, Match 12 Match Summary

That is it then from this game. What a match we witnessed! CSA action continues on Monday and there are two games yet again. The action begins at 1330 IST (0800 GMT) where Titans take on Dolphins in the first game. The build up starts a lot earlier. Do join us for it. Till then, take care and goodbye!

Pieter Malan, the skipper of Rocks, says that they didn't play their best cricket but will take this win. Tells that they batted really well but the dropped catches could have cost them. Mentions that they will need to improve on their fielding. Says they are hopeful that they click at the business end of the tournament.

Ferisco Adams is the BOWLER OF THE MATCH. He says that he just looks to keep things simple and backs himself when he is bowling. Adds that they were confident of defending somewhere around 10 runs in the last over and they are happy to get over the line.

Dwaine Pretorius is the BATTER OF THE MATCH. He says that he loved his time out in the middle but is gutted that they didn't get over the line. Tells that he learnt a lot of things from this game and will make sure that they end up on the right side of the result.

... THE PRESENTATION ...

There too it was Ferisco Adams who was given the ball, he went for a biggie on the first but then came back strongly to take two wickets in the next two balls. Rocks needed just the 7 and it took Janneman Malan only three balls to end the game.

What a game of cricket this was though! After Pieter Malan's fifty and Christiaan Jonker cameo, Rocks got themselves to over 180. In reply, Wesley Marshall got his team off to a flier but once he fell, the runs did not come that easily and by the 10th over, the Dragons had lost three. However, Delano Potgieter and Dwaine Pretorius notched up a 100-run stand and took their team back on top. Yes, they had luck on their side but take nothing away from the way the two played. They got it down to just the 9 needed in the last over. The Rocks gave the responsibility of defending 9 to Ferisco Adams and he bowled brilliantly. From a losing situation he took his side into a winning one, the Dragons needed 5 on the last ball which was struck for a boundary and the game went into a Super Over, first of this season.

Finally, the Rocks manage to get over the line. They bag their first win of the tournament and it comes in a Super Over. We believe, had they held onto their catches, they would have won it quite easily earlier on but the important thing is, they have got their campaign underway.

FOUR! Cheeky from Janneman Malan and he takes his side over the line! Whooaa, what a thriller this has been! Duan Jansen serves a low full toss, around off. Janneman Malan gets low and just reverse-paddles it past the fielder at short third man. The ball races away to the fence. Rocks win the Super Over!

Back of a length, around off. Janneman Malan looks to nudge it on the leg side but he misses and gets hit on his body. A precious dot ball for North West Dragons.

FOUR! EDGY! Full and wide, outside off. Janneman Malan looks to drive hard but it takes the thick outside edge and goes to the right of the keeper. The ball races away to the third man fence. Just what Rocks would have wanted!
