Bjorn Fortuin hit an unbeaten century as the DP World Lions were bowled out for 323 with the Six Gun Grill Western Province on 12 without loss at stumps on day one of the CSA 4-Day Franchise Series on Sunday.
Fortuin shared a 144-run partnership with Malusi Siboto as they put WP under pressure at the DP Wanderers.
Siboto was caught for 52 off 106 balls (hitting five fours and a six) off the bowling of Aviwe Mgijima.
Fortuin continued to lose partners as he scored an unbeaten 123 off 143 balls (hitting 20 fours) as his side was undone by Beuran Hendricks.
Hendricks, who surpassed 350 first-class wickets, ended with figures of 5-59 in his 14 overs.
After losing three quick wickets in the first hour off the bowling of Beuran Hendricks, an 83-run partnership between Dominic Hendricks and Mitch van Buuren saw the hosts fight back.
The duo put on the Western Province attack before Hendricks became Mihlali Mpongwana's first victim as he was caught for 44 off 109 balls (hitting seven fours).
Mpongwana then removed Connor Esterhuizen for a duck, and then Dane Paterson trapped Sisanda Magala lbw for five.
Mpongwana then got the settled Van Buuren, who scored 46 off 81 balls (hitting seven fours), before he slapped it straight to the fielder.
Earlier on, B Hendricks struck early as he got Jordan Hermann caught for one.
Reeza Hendricks didn't bother the scoreboard as he edged behind to Kyle Verreynne off the bowling of his surname's sake.
Hendricks joined the 350-wicket club as he now holds 350 first-class wickets, with the wicket of Kagiso Rapulana, who also got a nick behind for five.
