Hurricanes closed day two with a healthy lead of 216 with nine second innings wickets intact. In the midst of the Hurricanes’ dominance, Alimohamed, in just his second First-Class game, picked up a maiden five-wicket haul and played a crucial innings to rescue Harpy Eagles from being asked to follow-on.
