Dolphins Face Uphill Battle After Warriors' Strong Innings Day Two Innings In 4-day Series

The Dolphins will need to bat a whole lot better if they want to earn a play-off spot of the 4-Day Series after the Warriors had them against the ropes from the start of their first innings on Day Two on Friday in Gqeberha.

After a masterful tail-end innings of 106 not out by Senuran Muthusamy, the Warriors were held to a target of 264 for the Dolphins to chase down in their first innings.

But the Durban side failed to respond with the bat, losing their opening and middle order cheaply and resting their hopes on Khaya Zondo in the middle.

Warriors bowler CJ King effortlessly ploughed a meek Dolphins batting order with his spell of 5/61 from 15 overs.

Dolphins opening pair Sarol Erwee and Tshepang Dithole got the team off the mark but couldnt quite get going for a solid opening partnership that would pose a threat to the Warriors.
