South Africa T-20 Challenge: Sarel Erwee, Keegan Petersen Give Dolphins 3rd Win

A 92-run opening partnership between Sarel Erwee and Keegan Petersen helped the Hollywoodbets Dolphins make it three wins from three to lead the Betway T20 Challenge, thanks to a three-wicket win over

Gihahn Cloete (5), Marco Marais (18) and Lesiba Ngoepe (19) were the men to fall in the first 10 overs as Robbie Frylinck (1/33), Kerwin Mungroo (1/30) and Ottneil Baartman (2/31) all struck.

But a 71-run partnership between Qeshile and Jon-Jon Smuts (29) got the innings going before late wickets cut short that momentum as the Warriors finished with 143 for five.

The Dolphins' reply was outstanding. Erwee blasted his eighth career half-century and Petersen his third in what was the competition's biggest partnership for all wickets to date.

When the stand was eventually broken in the 13th over by Aya Gqamane (1/15) the local side needed just 52 off 47 balls. That wicket followed by the run out of Senuran Muthusamy (6) did open the door, however, for Robin Peterson's side.

But they then dropped two crucial catches just before the rain came, which ultimately proved costly as the Dolphins held on to climb the top of the table.
