Shimane Alfred Mothoa

Shimane Alfred Mothoa born in Transvaal made his first-class debut about half-a-decade ago for the Northerns. The fast-arm pacer was 23 when he made his debut in the CSA Provincial Three-Day Competition in East London. Coming in to bat at number 11 on his debut, Mothoa was the top scorer for the Northers in that match and was the only batsman to hit a six in the first innings. That still remains to be his highest score in first-class cricket but his bowling has improved vastly over the period of time. With a brilliant economy rate of 2.75, Mothoa has bagged close to 90 wickets at a bowling average of 23.

In the Sunfoil Series of 2018, the right arm pacer was one of the most consistent performers and was also a regular member of the team. One of his standout performances came against the Knights where he bagged three crucial wickets in the first innings. There were speedsters like Chris Morris and Junior Dala in the Titans playing that game, but Mothoa claimed the most number of wickets in the first innings and Titans in due course won the match by 4 wickets.
