Gbets Rocks defeated Tuskers by seven wickets in a crucial bottom-of-the-table match in Paarl

The Tuskers opened the batting but were limited to a modest 119/9 in their 20 overs. Kyle Nipper scored 36 runs, Michael Erlank scored 32, and Ntando Zuma contributed 21. Despite their efforts, the team struggled to build momentum.

The Rocks' bowlers, led by Siyabonga Mahima with figures of 3/17 and supported by Imraan Manack who claimed 2/20, launched a relentless attack on the Tuskers' batting lineup, keeping them within reach of a manageable target.

In pursuit of 120, Keegan Petersen led with a stellar 57 runs for the Rocks upfront. Petersen received solid support from Shaun von Berg, whose unbeaten 37* provided crucial stability, guiding the Rocks to victory with 14 balls to spare.

Although the Tuskers made an effort to defend their total, Kurtlyn Mannikam secured the prized scalp of Petersen, while Mbulelo Budaza emerged as their most successful bowler with figures of 2/15, claiming the key wickets of Clyde Fortuin and Adrian du Toit.
