Lions Holds The Aces In Wanderers Final, But Kp And Lhuan-dre Still There For The Titans

The last day of the South African cricket summer has arrived, and the Lions require seven wickets to claim a successive CSA First-Class title at the Wanderers on Monday.

The home team were utterly dominant on the fourth day of the showpiece final with their impressive bowling unit forcing the Titans to follow-on after the visitors were dismissed for just 123 in response to the Lions 413/7.

With the Lions bowlers only utilising 47 overs to dismiss the Titans, captain Dominic Hendricks had no hesitation in asking his bowling unit to strap on their boots again.

And although the Titans batters have fared much better second time around, heading to stumps at 118/3, they still trail by a mammoth 172 runs.

Hendricks mainstays have been seamers Codi Yusuf and Lutho Sipamla. Yusuf bowled with plenty of pace and aggression in the Titans first innings as he ran through the middle to lower order as the visitors lost four wickets for just 20 runs.
