Close, but no cigar.
The Lions had a score of 155 to chase on what was generally considered a batting wicket, they came close but they just couldn't do it, thanks to Charl Langeveldt, The 2 sides drew.
After they demolished the Nashua Titans on Sunday in Cape Town, the Cape Cobras almost ended both Highveld sides' Pro20 championship in one week. The Lions do have a game in hand though, which is a must win.
The Lions started off well but the game stagnated after Bula was bowled out for 19.
Neil McKenzie did manage a respectable 35 but Alviro Petersen was their stalwart, holding on to the last over before getting caught on 61 runs.
Individual performances characterised the 2nd innings: Rory Kleinveldt had a poor game, dropping a catch and getting knocked all over the park by Petersen, Roger Telemachus failed to recreate the magic of his last game and helped the Lions add to their final total. Vaughn van Jaarsveld celebrated his birthday with a Mohawk hard hat cake and 25 runs and Charl Langeveldt got the Master Blaster Bowler award for getting 2 wickets off the last 2 balls.
The next game is on Friday where the Titans will try to salvage some pride against the Eagles at SuperSport Park.
