The Western Province First Class provincial team travelled to Pretoria to play the Northens in a Cricket South Africa 3-day Competition. The visitors lost the toss and were sent in to bat first. Captain Matthew Kleinveldt and Sharn Gomes gave the team a good start with an opening partnership of 77 runs before Gomes was dismissed by quicky Lerutla Masekela for 44 runs. Two wickets of Kleinveldt (32) and Schreuder (8) fell quickly in a space of 8 overs which brought Sybrand Engelbrecht and Bradley Barnes to the crease. The pair stood firm in the crease and produced a record breaking fourth wicket partnership of 289 runs in 350 balls. Both recorded their first centuries in the three day competition this season although Barnes fell just 8 runs short of 150. Engelbrecht however carried on and ended the day unbeaten on 174 bringing the team’s score to 455/4 in 104 overs in the first day.
