da esport bet: Cricinfo staff31-Jan-2006Matabeleland maintained their winning start to this season’s Faithwear provincial one-day tournament with a five-wicket win over Midlands at Harare Sports Club. While the result was not as convincing as yesterday’s drubbing of Mashonaland, it marked them as firm favourites to retain their title.On a slow pitch which made run-scoring hard, Midlands never got on top of the bowling, although Visu Sibanda’s cameo of 22 at a run a ball briefly enlivened a drab display. Opener Bothwell Chapungu, is his first one-day match, laboured for more than hour making 8, and it took some late-order defiance from Anthony Ireland to guide Midlands past three figures. Mashonaland’s bowlers struggled for consistency, conceding 22 wides and no-balls.Although Terry Duffin fell early, Matabeleland had plenty of time to chase 115 and never looked too ruffled, with two late wickets giving the scoreline a more even look.
