And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with FREE STATE claiming an impressive victory by 37 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by FREE STATE 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 benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said FREE STATE 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. GAUTENG 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. Stunning upset and a fantastic result for GAUTENG LIONS! They came into the game as underdogs but showed plenty of grit and determination to fell the more favoured NORTHERNSs.

That's the end of the game and NORTHERNS wrap up a massive victory winning by 6 wickets. WESTERN PROVINCE was never in the game but that is more down to NORTHERNS'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. 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 NORTHERNS proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with WESTERN PROVINCE claiming an impressive victory by 3 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by WESTERN PROVINCE 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 WESTERN PROVINCE proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

That's the end of the game and GAUTENG LIONS wrap up a massive victory winning by 6 wickets. EASTERN PROVINCE was never in the game but that is more down to GAUTENG 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 GAUTENG 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 9 wickets. FREE STATE 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. Seam 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.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with NORTHERNS claiming an impressive victory by 5 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by NORTHERNS 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. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. NORTHERNS was expected to win this game and they duly obliged. It's been a good team performance all things considered.

That's the end of the game and NORTHERNS wrap up a massive victory winning by 139 runs. WESTERN PROVINCE was never in the game but that is more down to NORTHERNS'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. Seam benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said NORTHERNS proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
