SWD and Boland draw in three day match
Although the SWD team had the upper hand for most of the sessions in their Cricket South Africa provincial three-day competition in the match against Boland, it ended in a draw. The game was played at Eurolux Boland Park in Paarl.
Boland, who batted first, were dismissed for 257 with Marcello Piedt (5/63) who was SWD's pick of the bowlers.

In their second innings, Boland responded with 229/5. With a lead of 106 the captains shook hands late on Saturday afternoon. Both teams were fined with four bonus points for a slow over rate during the match.
