GARDEN ROUTE NEWS - Six Gun Grill SWD are under huge pressure to get their limited over campaign back on track after they started the season with two successive defeats.

Jean du Plessis and his troops started playing the Impala Limpopo team at the Recreation Ground on Wednesday, 23 March, and a bonus point victory will be non-negotiable in their ambitions to qualify for the final.

On Sunday they will host the Northern Cape Heat at the REC Ground in another must-win fixture.

In their first two matches – in which they were outplayed by the Eastern Storm (lost by 158 runs) and Hollywoodbets Tuskers (lost by 101 runs) – their overall performance in all disciplines was poor.

The team consists of: Jean du Plessis (captain), Blayde Capell, Yaseen Valli, Hanno Kotze, Jhedli van Briesies, Onke Nyaku, André Malan, Sean Whitehead, Renaldo Meyer, Marcello Piedt, Sintu Majiza, Herschel America, Heath Richards, Travis Ackermann, Pheko Moletsane, Regan Rhode, Tyrece Karelse, Keenan Viera and Levin Muller.
