Tuskers lead Mountaineers in Logan Cup final

Bradley Staddon’s half century helped Matabeleland Tuskers close on 116/2 in their second innings on day two against Mountaineers at Mutare Sports Club on Thursday in the Logan Cup cricket final to take a 72-run lead.

Tuskers had finished their first innings on 195 all out from 68,2 overs thanks to Mbekezeli Mabuza’s half century while Tawanda Mupariwa and Njabulo Ncube added 34 and 29 runs respectively.

Mountaineers bowlers, Tendai Chatara and Natsai Mushangwe, wrecked havoc taking three wickets each for a combined 102 runs to stifle Tuskers’ surge on a rather slow wicket.
