Mbasa Gqadushe played the perfect captain’s innings to rescue KwaZulu-Natal Inland on the opening day of the Sunfoil Cup final against Western Province at the Western Province Cricket Club in Cape Town on Thursday.
The visiting skipper struck 116 (188 balls, 15 fours, 1 six) to rescue his team from early trouble to eventually post 268 all out after five wickets from spinner George Linde.
The slow-left armer bagged 5/55 in 20 impressive overs, while there were also three wickets from Lizaad Williams (3/51).
Gqadushe shared in a vital 135-run fourth wicket stand with Kyle Nipper (69) after the KZN side had slipped to 21/3. Gareth Dukes also aided his skipper to put on 44 for the seventh wicket as the visitors were all out in 80.4 overs.
In reply, WP reached 58/2 with a wicket apiece for Dukes (1/11) and Graham Hume (1/17).
