The Hollywoodbets Sharks didn’t just beat the Hollywoodbets Dolphins at Kingsmead on Sunday – they gobbled them up whole and swam off with the Fin Cup T20 2025 crown. Six-wicket win. Trophy in the bag. Bragging rights all the way from Durban Harbour to Umhlanga Rocks.
The Dolphins had their moments with the bat, cracking a few into the stands and looking like they might just have the Sharks on the hook, setting a daunting task of 207/6. But when push came to shove, the Sharks bowlers reeled them in. A tidy, disciplined effort kept the Dolphins from splashing too far out of reach.
Then came the chase. The Sharks batsmen played it cool, built partnerships, and every time the Dolphins sniffed a comeback, they were slapped away like a seagull stealing chips. Under the lights, with the crowd roaring, the Sharks strode to victory with four wickets still in the tank, winning off the final ball of the match with their score reaching 210/4.
Final whistle – sorry, final ball – and it’s the Sharks lifting the silverware. The Dolphins? Left flapping.
So the Fin Cup stays painted black and white. Sharks fans, enjoy it. Dolphins fans… well, there’s always next year.
