The Central Gauteng Lions recorded an eight-wicket DLS win over the Northerns Titans in the T20 Challenge semi-final at the Wanderers on Wednesday.

Opting to field first after winning the toss, the Lions restricted the Titans to 131 for nine in their rain-shortened 18 overs.

Jack Lees led the Titans' batting with an unbeaten 64* from 43 deliveries, receiving only support from Rivaldo Moonsamy (24).

Twenty-one-year-old leg-spinner Nqaba Peter was the bowler of the match with figures of 4-18 from four overs, while Codi Yusuf took two wickets.

Chasing a target of 132, the Lions suffered an early setback with the loss of Reeza Hendricks.

However, Rassie van der Dussen's unbeaten 73*, along with contributions from Ryan Rickelton (38) and Temba Bavuma (19*), ensured a smooth chase as the hosts cruised to victory in 14.4 overs.
