The Titans’ innings finished at 204, while KZN Inland could only muster 183/6.
Laycock’s 19th over was pure thunder—five wickets, no runs. He first took out Leus du Plooy, then delivered four successive dismissals: Dayyaan Galiem, Aphiwe Mnyanda, Janco Smit, and Esosa Aihevba.
That over ended the Titans’ chase at 204, leaving them 193/4 before the onslaught. Earlier in the match, Laycock had broken the deadlock by removing Lhuan‑dre Pretorius, who’d hit 81 off 36.
Even with the historic haul, KZN Inland could not overturn the deficit; the Titans extend their unbeaten run in the Pro20 Cup to six matches.
Laycock’s performance puts him among the rare men who have ever taken five wickets in an over in T20 cricket, a feat only achieved by Al‑Amin Hossain, Abhimanyu Mithun, and Gede Priandana before him.
Next up for the Titans is a showdown against the Bulls, where they’ll need to stay sharp; Laycock will be eyeing a spot in the national squad after this display.
