That's the end of the game and WESTERN PROVINCE wrap up a massive victory winning by 8 wickets. BOLAND was never in the game but that is more down to WESTERN PROVINCE's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said WESTERN PROVINCE proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

17.1	Gogga Adams to Mike Pollock, 4, 70kph, A big leggie now and it grips and spins into the batsman. Crunched through the leg side. Well executed on-drive. No chance for the fielder in the deep. Four more

17.4	Gogga Adams to Sam Mnyandu, 1, 73kph, S Mnyandu leg glances but can't time it properly. That is a comfortable single
17.5	Gogga Adams to Mike Pollock, 1, 91kph, G Adams fires in a quicker one. M Pollock on-drives but can't time it properly and he trots through for the single

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. LIONS will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said LIONS proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

That's the end of the game and KNIGHTS wrap up a massive victory winning by 7 wickets. BOLAND was never in the game but that is more down to KNIGHTS's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort.

That's the end of the game and LIONS wrap up a massive victory winning by 8 wickets. BOLAND was never in the game but that is more down to LIONS's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said LIONS proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with TITANS claiming an impressive victory by 57 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by TITANS and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Seam and spin benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said TITANS proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. TITANS will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with LIONS claiming an impressive victory by 4 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by LIONS and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Swing and seam benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said LIONS proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

That's the end of the game and WESTERN PROVINCE wrap up a massive victory winning by 6 wickets. LIONS was never in the game but that is more down to WESTERN PROVINCE's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said WESTERN PROVINCE proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
