Unbeaten log leaders Durbanville will look to extend their run in the Western Province Premier Division on Saturday when they travel to Green Point.
High on confidence following their fifth win on six outings last weekend against Western Province Cricket Club.
With Gysbert Wege, who scored 95 last weekend in good nick (95) and their bowling attack spearheaded by Tashwin Lukas (4/40), Durbies can expect a tough encounter from their fifth-placed hosts.
Green Point are not far off the pace and on their docile wicket which favours the batsmen a high scoring game is on the cards.
Zak Elkin is their main ou and is in prolific run scoring mood.
If he can continue where he left off last week (59) in their seven wicket win over Cape Town, Durbies could be chasing leather.
In the bowling department Wesley Bedja, originally from Strandfontein, is in good form and the top wicket taker who could be crucial if they’re gonna restrict the powerful Durbies batting lineup.
Meanwhile, Ottoman, who scored their first win of the season beating fellow strugglers Brackenfell by four wickets could make it back to back victories when they host Cape Town. The visitors need
Long-serving batsman William Hantam to score big, as well as overseas pro Matthew Goles.
In other action, Rylands host Claremont, Kraaifontein welcome WPCC, UWC open its doors to Brackenfell and Rondebosch travel to Bellville.
