CRICKET NEWS - Mangaliso Moshele struck a key half-century as Gauteng reached the Africa T20 Cup semifinals for the first time with a six-wicket bonus-point win over North West at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom on Sunday.
The Standard Bank Proteas wicketkeeper struck 52 (42 balls, 4 fours, 2 sixes) to ease nerves as the visitors got to their 129-run victory target off the last possible ball to earn the bonus point that gained them their semifinal spot.
This enabled them to edge out defending champions Eastern Province at the top of the pool B log.
Mosehle and another South Africa batsman, Stephen Cook (33), shared in an 81-run second-wicket stand that drew all hope out of North West, whose best bowler was Wihahn Lubbe with 3-29.
