THE Six Gun Grill South Western Districts cricket team will take on the Multiply Titans from Gauteng in the quarter final of the Cricket South Africa T20 knock-out competition.
The Titans qualified for the knock-out stages after they ended second (behind the ITEC Knights) upon conclusion of the Pool B group matches that took place in Bloemfontein last week.
SWD, who finished top of the table in Pool A, has started with its preparation for the big clash that will take place in Kimberley on Tuesday 19 October.
Good news for the men from the Southern Cape is that their overseas professional from Derbyshire, Leus du Plooy, will join the team this week and will be eligible for selection for the Kimberley trip.
The squad for the quarter finals will be announced next week Monday. The team will depart for Kimberley on 14 October, after which they will move into a bio-secure environment in preparation for the clash on the 19th. The match will start at 10:00 and will be broadcast live on Supersport, Channel 212.
• To qualify, the SWD team took on the Northern Cape Heat on Friday (24 September); Western Province on Saturday (25 September) and the Imperial Lions on Sunday (26 September). The Lions were the only team that could beat the men from the SWD, who finished top of the table with the best net run rate in Pool A.
