National Basketball League champions City Oilers will feature in season four of the Basketball Africa League.

Oilers will be making a back-to-back appearance in Africa's premier club competition following the semifinal win in the Road to BAL Elite 16 East Division tournament in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Mandy Juruni's charges beat Dynamo of Burundi 72-61 at Ellis Park Arena on Friday afternoon to achieve the feat.

Oilers started strong winning the first quarter 19-5 and never looked back even when Dynamo came close at certain points in the game.

Robinson Opong led the way with 17 points (knocking down five 3-pointers) and 8 rebounds. Parrish Petty and Titus Odeke added 14 points each while Germaine Roebuck contributed 13 points.

The Oilers await the winner between Cape Town Tigers and COSPN to face in the finals of the Division.
