Following a successful tour of the Caribbean for the SA A team, several Hollywoodbets Dolphins stars made significant contributions to their 50 over and 4-day series victories.
The team was led by Dolphins captain Marques Ackerman and the left-hander guided the SA A team to an unbeaten tour where they won the 50 over series 2-0 and the unofficial test series 2-0 as well.
Along the way the Dolphins players made telling contributions with the likes of Ackerman, Tristan Luus, Okuhle Cele, Prenelan Subrayen and Jason Smith producing stand-out performances to help their team to victory.
In the first 50 over match of the tour Jason Smith made 55 to help the side to 283 and a 42-run victory.
The second match of the 50 over series was lost to rain but Smith had contributed another half century to SA A's total of 365 before the match was called off.
The final 50 over match saw Okuhle Cele shine with the ball taking 3 for 29 in just over eight overs. The SA A side were given 254 to chase down and 71 from Ackerman and 35 from Jason Smith helped them to a comfortable six wicket win.
The red ball portion of the tour was where the Dolphins players really came into their own.
In the first unofficial test match Marques Ackerman blazed an incredible 209 off just 170 deliveries while Smith made 56 and Prenelan Subrayen contributed 64 not out batting at No 8.
The bowlers too stood out with Cele picking up 5 for 43 in the West Indies A first innings which saw them bowled out for 240. In their second innings Subrayen was destroyer in chief bagging 5 for 82 while young Dolphins seamer Tristan Luus took 4 for 86 to bowl Windies A out for 272.
This meant the SA A side won by a comfortable innings and 88 runs.
The second unofficial test was another dominant display from the SA A team as they once again fielded first and bowled the Windies A side out for 220.
Cele picked up 3 for 52 and then in the second innings he took 2 for 26 which took his tally to ten wickets in the series.
SA A were set just 100 to win the second match and it was fitting that Ackerman was there to finish the job as he finished 35 not out as SA won the second match by seven wickets.
