Rhinos aided by Rainsford fiver

Southern Rocks did not crumble the way Mountaineers had, but their average first-innings performance was responsible for a seven-wicket loss to MidWest Rhinos at the Kwekwe Sports Club. Ed Rainsford's five-wicket haul kept Rocks to 178 despite Hilary Matanga's 63 and Rhinos then rode on centuries from captain Gary Ballance and Riki Wessels to post 444.

Brian Vitori grabbed 5 for 90 but there was little support from the rest of the Rocks' attack. Richmond Mutumbami's 92 was the only score of note from the Rocks' top order in the second innings, but Vitori stretched their innings past 300 with his highest first-class score of 71.

Graeme Cremer mopped up the rest of the lower order to finish with 5 for 107 and Vitori's dismissal brought the Rocks' innings to an end on 313. Vitori was not done yet though. He struck twice more to have Rhinos at 6 for 3 in their chase of 48 but Malcolm Waller was around to take them home.
