adminlast ball with one wicket standing in a Coca Cola Pro50 Championship match at the Masvingo Sports Club at the weekend.
It meant seamer Njabulo Ncube’s maiden five-wicket haul was in vain as last man Tafadzwa Kamungozi hit the required five runs off the final two deliveries of the 50th over bowled by Ncube.
Rocks’ chase had been rocked at the start by Glen Querl and Ncube who reduced them to 30 for 3. Richmond Mutumbami and Alester Maregwede brought Rocks back into the game with a 95-run partnership for the fifth wicket. Mutumbami hammered 13 boundaries in his 94 off 79 balls before Ncube’s double strike in the 40th over accounted for him and Tendai Chisoro. Maregwede then put on another 75 with Hilary Matanga to leave Rocks needing 14 off 13.
Maregwede (70) was still around but Ncube bowled him as well off the fourth ball of the 50th before Kamungozi managed to get Rocks through. Tuskers’ total had earlier been built on opener Gavin Ewing’s patient 67 and useful contributions from four of the other top five batsmen. Medium-pacer Roy Kaia was the most successful bowler for Rocks, taking 3-32. – Cricinfo-Sports Reporter.
