Duminy dominant as Cobras win
Friday, October 9, 2009
Jean-Paul Duminy struck a superb 99 as the Cape Cobras opened their campaign in the Champions League Twenty20 with a five-wicket win over the Royal Challengers in Bangalore.
The Challengers had seemed to have half the battle won when Robin Uthappa (51) and Ross Taylor (53 not out) hammered half-centuries to power the home side to a formidable 180 for four.
Praveen Kumar then claimed wickets in successive overs with the new ball as the South African side struggled to get up to speed, but Duminy led a remarkable revival, finishing unbeaten one run short of his century off 52 balls, as the Cobras completed an astonishing triumph with two deliveries to spare.
