Tsepo Ndwandwa, with match figures of 11/38, was the hero of the SWD cricket team as his team thumped Boland by an innings and 102 runs in their last three-day match of a series of matches that was played in a Bio Secured Environment in Paarl and Stellenbosch.

The men from Oudtshoorn concluded this comprehensive victory within two days.

Boland, who won the toss, was dismissed for 128 runs in their first innings with Ndwandwa’s 4/45 the best bowling figures.

SWD, thanks to a partnership of 133 for the fourth wicket between the skipper Kelly Smuts (71) and Jean du Plessis (76), posted 317 in their first innings.

First class debutant, Travis Ackermann contributed a valuable 63 from only 60 deliveries with two sixes and nine fours.

With a deficit of 189 runs Boland struggled against Ndwandwa (7/38 from 19.3 overs) who recorded career best figures in first class cricket. It was also his first 10-wicket haul in three-day cricket.

Neil Hornbuckle (3/29) gave valuable support.
