Hardus Viljoen picked up his second straight ten-wicket match haul and Stephen Cook struck an unbeaten third-innings 168 as Lions wrapped up a 203-run win over Warriors at the Wanderers.Sent in to bat, Lions made a poor start, with three of their top four falling for single-digit scores, before half-centuries from Qaasim Adams and Nicky van den Bergh steered them to 291. Viljoen led Lions’ defence of that total, claiming figures of 6 for 44 in helping bowl Warriors out for 163. Left-arm spinner Aaron Phangiso was the other major wicket-taker, with figures of 3 for 36.Lions now led by 128, and Cook made sure they would swell it considerably in their second innings. He made an unbeaten 168 off 256 balls, scoring over 57% of their runs before they declared on 294 for 4, setting Warriors a target of 423.Apart from the opener Colin Ackermann, who made a 189-ball 89, Warriors’ top order didn’t prove up to the task, with the other four batsmen in their top order falling for single-digit scores. From 39 for 4, Ackermann and Clyde Fortuin (39) steadied Warriors’ innings with a fifth-wicket stand of 78, but there was little resistance thereafter. Fortuin fell in the eighth over of the fourth morning, and the rest of the Warriors line-up only lasted a further 23.3 overs. Viljoen picked up four second-innings wickets to finish with match figures of 10 for 123.
