Mpumalanga Province and Zimbabwe both piled up totals in excess of 250 in the second round of 50 overs matches that brought the CSA under-13 week at Potchefstroom to a close on Monday.
Eastern Province must have thought they were well in their game against Zimbabwe when they reduced them to 100/7 but Rodney Mufudza (80) and Brett Hansell (56) then produced a partnership of 138 to turn the game on its head. They were eventually all out for 252 and Hansell then completed a good all-round performance to take 3/11 as Eastern Province were dismissed for 103.
Tiaan Brits continued his good form of the previous day when he contributed 76 to his team's total of 253. This time he received better support from his team mates with the top six all reaching double figures. Griquas were dismissed for a paltry 101 in reply.
