Six Gun Grill Western Province Blitz secured a bonus point win after defeating North West Dragons by 84 runs on Tuesday. They remain unbeaten after 4 rounds of matches in the CSA T20 Challenge and top the log.

The WP Blitz were off to a good start, with opener Jonathan Bird top scoring with 53 off 44 (5 boundaries and 2 maximums).

Captain Wayne Parnell’s 33* off 17 (2 boundaries and 2 sixes) and Dane Vilas’s 31 of 20 (3 boundaries and 1 six), set a good ending to the innings to see the Blitz set the target of 165 runs.

Dragons’ spinner, Senuran Muthusamy recorded 4/20 in his 4 overs, claiming 3 wickets in the 18^th over.
