Cricket South Africa: Badgers and Province Share Spoils in Oudtshoorn
The Garden Route Badgers Women started their 2025/26 Hollywoodbets Pro Series campaign with a convincing victory in the Hollywoodbets Pro50 against WSB Western Province Women.
Badgers delivered a solid performance with a 75-run win, posting 237/9 in 50 overs, thanks to half-centuries from Izel Cilliers (65) and Julia Hoal (50), supported by a steady 36 from skipper, Zintle Kula.
Despite a defiant 66 runs from Dane van Niekerk, Kula, Lucian Swartz, and Nicolien Janse van Rensburg each picked up two wickets as the hosts bowled out the Western Province for 162 in 40 overs.
Province, however, showed why they are the reigning champions on Sunday, claiming a 22-run win in the Hollywoodbets Pro20 to level the weekend results.
