CRICKET NEWS - Multiply Titans coach Mark Boucher was full of praise for his players after they clinched a third successive Ram Slam T20 Challenge title on Saturday night after a clinical victory over the Hollywoodbets Dolphins in Centurion.
Chris Morris led a stellar bowling performance as the hosts secured a crushing seven-wicket win with 53 balls to spare.
The Standard Bank Proteas all-rounder finished with four for 13 in 3.3 overs to help the hosts shoot out the visitors for a paltry 100 in 18.3 overs.
Malusi Siboto (2/10) and Lungi Ngidi (2/15) provided excellent support roles for the defending champions, before Quinton de Kock and AB de Villiers played cameos of 39 and 27 respectively to lead their side to a third 20-over title in three years.
“I really didn’t expect the game that we delivered today,” Boucher said afterwards. “The guys all rocked up and we put pressure on them from ball one. So, I'm very happy with the way we finished it off.”
The Titans looked almost invincible throughout the competition and in the end won eight out of 12 games.
Out of the four games they did not win, two were washouts, while the other two saw Boucher make personnel changes to his playing squad in a bid to keep everyone happy.
