Hollywoodbets on board as KZN Women\u2019s team sponsors<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Durban<\/a> \u2013 Hollywoodbets have become an integral part of cricket in KwaZulu-Natal and they will further entrench their role with the union as they take on the title sponsorship of the KZN Coastal Women\u2019s Provincial cricket team this season.<\/p>\n

Recently Hollywoodbets took over the naming rights to Kingsmead Stadium and renewed their relationship with the Hollywoodbets Dolphins and the two semi-professional teams, KZN Coastal and KZN Inland.<\/p>\n

Cricket is a passion for Hollywoodbets and their relationship with KZN Cricket has only grown over the years. To have them backing women\u2019s cricket could set an important precedent going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cHollywoodbets is heavily invested in KZN cricket as can be seen with our sponsorship of the Hollywoodbets Dolphins, and our recent announcement regarding the naming rights of Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium,\u201d Brand and Communications Manager at Hollywoodbets Devin Heffer said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have also provided sponsorship at club level and through our various community initiatives. It is a natural next step to now focus on the women\u2019s game, which has seen a big increase in popularity both in South Africa and internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the current trajectory that women\u2019s cricket is taking around the world, the relationship can only help energise the game and grow the sport amongst young girls.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe KZN Coastal Women\u2019s team has been exceptional over the past season. They have now qualified for the CSA Women\u2019s Provincial League \u2018Top Six.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis qualification has helped in attracting Proteas to the team, which will not only strengthen their squad for the tournament, but will give that much needed experience to compete at this level.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI have been impressed by the passion and commitment shown by our women\u2019s team, and our head coach, Dinesha, is probably the best female coach that I have ever encountered,\u201d CEO of KZN Cricket Heinrich Strydom said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis sponsorship and capping function is due recognition for what the women have achieved in a relatively short time frame.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur women\u2019s side produced fantastic results and are now in the top six in the country. We want to use that momentum to grow the game in the province.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the backing of Hollywoodbets I can see the confidence amongst the players in our women\u2019s team growing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chloe Tryon was the last women to earn a Proteas cap while playing for KZN when she made her T20 debut in 2010, until Nondumiso Shangase and Nonkululeko Mlaba both made their debuts for the Proteas this year.<\/p>\n

Coach of the side Denesha Devnarain is excited by the involvement of a company like Hollywoodbets.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team has never had a sponsor let alone had a season launch,\u201d an excited Devnarain said. \u201cThe confidence that comes from having the backing of a sponsor is something that cannot be coached. It\u2019s given the girls more belief that there are people believing in them.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to be a tough season in the top six for the first time but with five Proteas in the side Devnarain is confident they can do well.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously we would love to come first this season but we have set some realistic goals and we feel that we can finish in the top three.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would be disappointed if we finished in the bottom two,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Former KZN cricker Trisha Chetty has returned to the province while speedster Shabnim Ismail has shifted to Hollywoodbets KZN Coastal.<\/p>\n

The Hollywoodbets KZN Coastal Women\u2019s Provincial Team begin their season with a clash with Free State at Hollywoodbets Kingsmead this weekend.<\/p>\n

Rain dominates day two in PMB<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Pietermaritzburg \u2013 With the game evenly poised on Tuesday, the Hollywoodbets Dolphins could only add 92 runs to their total in their CSA 4-Day Domestic Series clash against the World Sports Betting Cape Cobras at the Pietermaritzburg Oval before rain had to final say.<\/p>\n

Starting the day on 234 for four, Andile Phehlukwayo added six runs to his overnight score before he was bowled for 67.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins then lost Rob Frylinck a handful of deliveries later before centurion Grant Roelofsen fell for a well-played 133 from 218 balls. His innings included twenty boundaries.<\/p>\n

There were a few cameos down the bottom of the order with Prenelan Subrayen scoring seventeen and Smangaliso Nhlebela making nineteen.<\/p>\n

Kerwin Mungroo provided the entertainment at the bottom end of the order scoring 24 not out batting at number ten.<\/p>\n

Nhlebela was the last wicket to fall before the umpires called the players from the field and they were unable to return.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins will begin the third day at the Pietermaritzburg Oval on 325 for nine.<\/p>\n
