The Nashua Mobile Cape Cobras advanced to the Standard Bank Pro20 final as a record- run-chase saw them to a five-wicket win over the Nashua Titans in their Standard Bank Pro20 semi-final second leg at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Wednesday.
Half-centuries from Richard Levi, Dane Vilas and Owais Shah helped the Cobras to a mammoth 224 for five with two balls of their innings remaining, in reply to the Titans’ 222 for four, the highest successful run chase in Pro20 history and the second highest total overall, just behind the 225 for six, scored by the Diamond Eagles (now Chevrolet Knights) in the 2004/5 season.
Levi scored a dashing 60 off 31 balls while Vilas weighed in with 53 as the duo combined for a second-wicket stand of 92 off just 48 deliveries.
The pair set the stage for Shah, who belted his way to 64 off 34 deliveries before falling in the penultimate over of the match.
The win secures the Cobras a home final against the Chevrolet Warriors on March 18, after the Western Cape franchise beat the Titans by eight wickets in the first leg of the semi-final series.
