MTN Domestic Final 2008/9

Eagles v Titans, MTN Domestic Championship final, Bloemfontein

January 17, 2009

The Titans won their second successive MTN Domestic Championship by beating the Eagles in Bloemfontein. The Titans bowling attack was lead by Paul Harris with a career best 5 for 27. The Eagles innings ended on 138. The Titans opening pair of Bodi and Snijman then made light work of the total and both made half centuries with Snijman not out on 53.

Having chosen to field the Titans opened the bowling with Roelof van der Merwe a left-arm spin bowler. The strategy worked perfectly and the Eagles were in trouble before the fifth over, after their poor start the Eagles had no chance of recovery as Harris took the lower order apart.

Bodi and Snijman showed that the bounce and consistency of the pitch wasn’t the problem and powered to an opening stand of 125. Setting up the victory for the Titans.

The players and management of the Titans should be proud of the team that they have built over the years, it’s starting to bear fruit with the Titans considered the best limited overs team in South Africa, currnetly holding both the MTN Domestic Championship and the Standard Bank Pro20 titles.
