The Fidelity Titans and the Garden Route Badgers both secured victories in the latest round of the Hollywoodbets Pro20 Series at the Tshwane University of Technology Oval in Tshwane, and the Recreation Ground in Oudtshoorn on Sunday, 25 October 2026, remaining the only unbeaten sides in the competition after Week 4.
The Titans claimed a comprehensive nine-wicket win over the YesPlay Cobras following a 78* stand off 45 balls from captain Anneke Bosch in Tshwane (13 fours, 1 six). In Oudtshoorn, the Badgers outmuscled the Warriors by five wickets in a low-scoring affair, with key all-rounder Annerie Dercksen returning leading figures of 3/22.
Dercksen followed up her five-wicket haul in Saturday’s Hollywoodbets Pro50 encounter with another impressive bowling display, aided once again by Jané Winster (2/17) and Yolandi Potgieter (2/19), as the Badgers restricted the visitors to 92/9 in their allotted 20 overs.
Dutch international and Badgers captain Babette de Leede (28) top-scored for the home side in a crucial stand with Courtney Gounden (18) to help the Badgers reach the target with five wickets in hand and 27 balls to spare.

Disciplined bowling and important wickets at crucial stages of the innings, led by spinner Paulinah Mashishi’s superb return of 2/10 in four overs, kept the Cobras at bay on 136/6 after their allotted 20 overs, despite promising knocks from Faye Tunnicliffe (41) and Kayla Reyneke (40*).
In their chase, the Titans were driven forward by captain Anneke Bosch’s 78 not out. The top-order batter found the boundary on 14 occasions, including one six, while teaming up with Luyanda Nzuza (34) in an opening stand of 105 runs.
