The ITEC Knights lost their encounter against the North West Dragons, whilst the Rocks and Lions’ match was abandoned without a ball being bowled. The Lions needed a bonus point win against the Rocks to go above the Knights and secure a spot in the semis.

Earlier, the Dragons claimed a 22-run win against the Knights. The latter opted to field first as the Dragons skipper, Heino Kuhn, steadied a 50 off 47 balls. The Dragons’ duo, Duan Jansen (39 off 15) and Delano Potgieter (18*), shared a 53-run partnership to help the Dragons set the target of 155.

Gerald Coetzee (2/24 in four overs) claimed the crucial wickets of both Kuhn and Jansen.

Another destructive duo in the Dragons set-up was bowler of the match, Caleb Seleka (3/13), and Renaldo Meyer (3/26) in their four overs.

The Knights were bowled out for 132 in less than 17 overs, with Migael Pretorius smashing a 36 off 15 in the final overs. Other contributions in the double digits were from Pite van Biljon (27) and Jacques Snyman (25).
