Tigers caused a major upset when they beat Black Africa 1-0 in a hard fought encounter on Friday night. Tigers took the lead through a great header by Pineas Jacob just before halftime and then defended resolutely in the second half to shut out BA’s attacks and hold out for the victory.

There was not much to enthuse about in the first half as neither team created many opportunities. Black Africa had the most ball possession but rarely threatened Tigers’ defence as they passed the ball from flank to flank, probing for openings.

Griqualand West were well in control of their three-day CSA match against Namibia at the Wanderers on Friday, with Namibia holding a 21-run lead and only four second innings wickets in hand.

After scoring 271 in their first innings, Griquas skittled Namibia out for only 80 runs in their first innings.
Namibia were forced to follow on and at stumps had reached 213/6, with captain Craig Williams not out on 87.

Namibia’s batting was woeful in the first innings, with poor options and some questionable decisions contributing to their downfall.
