Dayyaan Galiem Crowned Division 1 T20 SACA MVP

Titans all-rounder Dayyaan Galiem has been named the Division 1 T20 SACA MVP for the 2024/25 season. The 27-year-old’s consistent performances across all facets of the game earned him 141.697 points in ten matches.

The SACA MVP uses an internationally recognized rankings system to measure the key influencers in CSA’s domestic competitions. The domestic SACA MVP algorithm, developed by SACA and administered by cricket statistician Andrew Samson, identifies the most valuable performers in domestic cricket.

Galiem’s impact was felt throughout the tournament. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball, combined with his fielding prowess, made him a valuable asset to the Titans. The all-rounder’s consistent run-scoring and wicket-taking abilities, coupled with his sharp fielding, propelled him to the top of the T20 MVP standings, finishing 30 points ahead of second-place Western Province, George Linde (111.430) and North West captain Wihan Lubbe (103.266).

The Titans all-rounder finished the competition with a strike rate of 126.11, 12 wickets, and five catches.

“It’s an incredible feeling to be named the SACA MVP. I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent the Titans and contribute to the team’s success. A lot of work has been put into developing my game, and so far, it’s turned out well, which I’m grateful and happy about. I’m excited to continue building on these achievements, but nothing would be possible if it weren’t for the right people guiding me and supporting me,” said Galiem.

SACA rewards MVP winners with prize money for their performances in the Division 1 SACA MVP. The top 30 players in the SACA Overall MVP, the top 10 players in the 4Day Competition, the top 10 in the CSA One-Day Cup, and the top 10 in the CSA T20 Challenge are all eligible for prize money.

MOREKI HAT-TRICK LEADS TITANS TO VICTORY

Tshepo Moreki provided some late inspiration for the Multiply Titans by claiming a hat-trick to help bowl them to an unlikely 129-run victory over the Hollywoodbets Dolphins in their 4-Day Domestic Series opener in Centurion on Thursday.

The seamer accounted for Andile Phehlukwayo, Eathan Bosch and Daryn Dupavillon in successive deliveries to finish with a career-best four for 32 that sent the visitors tumbling to 161 all out, chasing 291 on the final afternoon at SuperSport Park.

It was a huge turnaround after the match had earlier appeared to be petering out towards a draw when the Dolphins were 124 for four and around 30 overs to play.

But Moreki’s magic turned the game upside down and concluded a fine victory for the home side, who had declared their second innings on 234 for seven, thanks to Neil Brand, who followed up his maiden century in the first innings with an impressive 77 (102 balls, 9 fours, 2 sixes).

Mark Boucher’s side started the last day on 117 for three and they doubled that score thanks to their key batsman from the game.

There was not too much of support for Brand, except for an unbeaten 38 by Dayyaan Galiem and 17 from Junior Dala, the hosts ending their innings in 53.2 overs.

Okuhle Cele was the pick of the bowlers with two for 45, while Dupavillon (2/49) and Phehlukwayo (2/69) also nabbed two wickets apiece.

Injury replacement Jason Oakes, on for Grant Roelofsen at the start of the Titans’ second innings, led the final passage of the game well alongside Vaughn van Jaarsveld (24) with the pair putting on 35 for the first wicket.

Galiem (2/26) ended the stand, before the substitute, Cody Chetty (15), and Sibonelo Makhanya (18) appeared to be pulling their side towards safety.

But, after Brand (2/20) trapped the latter leg before wicket, Moreki had Phehlukwayo caught at short third man for five, then bowled Bosch and followed that up by having Dupavillon (both nought) caught by wicketkeeper Rubin Hermann.

Those wickets saw the away side fall from 146 for six to 146 for nine and Dala then read the last rites by dismissing Cele (two) to clinch a famous win.

BOKAKO AND BURGER BOWL SA EMERGING TO NARROW VICTORY

Tladi Bokako and Nandre Burger shared six wickets as South Africa Emerging held off a late fightback to secure a 28-run win over Sri Lanka Emerging and go 1-0 up in their two-match four-day series late on day four in Potchefstroom on Sunday.

The pair helped the hosts bowl out the tourists for 302, chasing a victory target of 331 at Senwes Park.

Burger claimed three for 38 in 16 overs and Bokako nabbed three for 70 in 21.1 overs – the away side dismissed in 94.1 overs.

It means the Sri Lankans will now need to win the second match starting later this week in order to earn a share of the series, although they were relatively easy winners in a Triangular One-Day competition that ended a week ago when they beat University Sports South Africa (USSA) in the Final.

Their slow start to this game ultimately proved costly after the hosts amassed 382 in the first innings thanks to Matthew Breetzke, with the reply being an under-par 241.

They then restricted Shukri Conrad’s side to just 189 in the second innings and appeared to be the favourites heading into the final day after reaching stumps on day three at 145 for one.

But the South Africans managed some early blows, particularly the first one that accounted for the set Minod Bhanuka 14 runs into the morning when Bokako had him caught behind by Sinethemba Qeshile for 89 (134 balls, 12 fours).

Captain Charith Asalanka (9) and Ashen Bandara (1) then followed as Bokako again struck, along with Marco Jansen (2/58), who got rid of the former, suddenly leaving the Asians on 173 for four.

Dayyaan Galiem (1/37) tilted things more in the hosts’ favour when he had the other key man, Pathum Nissanka (47), also edging to Qeshile.

And, when Burger trapped Kamindu Mendis (17) and Chamika Karunaratne (10) leg before wicket, the end looked near – Sri Lanka slipping to 214 for seven.

A 58-run eighth-wicket stand between Mohamed Shiraz (49) and Nishan Peiris (25) had helped their side roar back, but when the stand was eventually broken, the fast bowlers wrapped up the tail to give the South Africans a morale-boosting win.

The second and final match of the tour begins in Pretoria from Thursday.

TITANS SECURE HOME FINAL

An unbeaten half-century by Jonathan Vandiar paved the way for the Multiply Titans to conclude their Momentum One-Day Cup regular season with a comfortable eight-wicket win over the BuildNat Cape Cobras at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Thursday.

The left-hander made 72 (78 balls, 6 fours, 1 six) to help his team reach their 185-run victory target with almost 20 overs to spare. Vandiar’s effort came after the home bowlers shot out the visitors for 184 after winning the toss and opting to bowl first.

Aviwe Mgijima was the only batsmen to hit a half-century, holding the innings together thanks to his 52 (96 balls, 2 fours). There were also contributions of 42 from Dane Vilas and 39 by Dayyaan Galiem as the Cobras were bundled out in 44.5 overs.

All the bowlers shone for the Titans, the pick of them being Lungi Ngidi with his 2/20 in eight overs, with two apiece also for Junior Dala (2/33) and Tabraiz Shamsi (2/53).

The reply was fluent one for the hosts, bar a hiccup, when the 100 was raised.

Aiden Markram helped Vandiar put on 75 for the first wicket, before Eddie Leie (3/54) removed the former for 49. The on-loan bizhub Highveld Lions spinner then took out Heino Kuhn (19) and Standard Bank Proteas captain AB de Villiers, who was caught and bowled for a second-ball duck, within the space of three deliveries.

That left the Titans on 100/3, but Farhaan Behardien and Vandiar put on 81 for the fourth wicket to ensure the home side won with ease – 111 balls to be precise.
