The guys will be much better prepared for this final,\u201d Zondo added.<\/p>\n<p>Keshav Maharaj put in a man of the match performance against the Warriors on Thursday picking up four wickets in the match.<\/p>\n<p>The Proteas left-arm spinner was happy with the return and believes that he has been in good form throughout the competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I have been bowling well but some things just haven\u2019t quite gone according to plan for me in this tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith that said I have still been training hard and working hard on the field. Hopefully, I can put in another performance like this on Sunday to help us get over the line in the final,\u201d Maharaj said.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/dolphinscricket.co.za\/dolphins-ready-for-modc-final\/\">Dolphins ready for MODC final<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/dolphinscricket.co.za\">Hollywoodbets Dolphins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fill in the form below to have your blog featured on MyDurban \u2013 we will post a snippet and title link to your new blog posts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Submit and get free press releases here:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/submit\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MyPR Free Press Release<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/mydurban.co.za\/meet-some-of-our-durban-bloggers\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Meet the Durban Bloggers<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dolphins ready for MODC final: Durban \u2013 The Hollywoodbets Dolphins travel to SuperSport Park Centurion to take on the Multiply Titans in their second Momentum One Day Cup final in as many seasons and will be eyeing a second consecutive 50 over trophy on Sunday.
