And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with FREE STATE claiming an impressive victory by 3 wickets. 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. 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 FREE STATE proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

That's the end of the game and FREE STATE wrap up a massive victory winning by 6 wickets. WESTERN PROVINCE was never in the game but that is more down to FREE STATE'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. Oh dear - if you're a WESTERN PROVINCE supporter, I'm afraid the scorecard makes for pretty poor reading. FREE STATE simply showed more hunger for the win today and they will deservedly take all the accolades for the performance they put in.

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

That's the end of the game and NORTHERNS wrap up a massive victory winning by 192 runs. BOLAND 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. BOLAND really were on a hiding to nothing. They were never expected to win today against NORTHERNS and that's exactly how it played out.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with WESTERN PROVINCE claiming an impressive victory by 5 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. Seam and spin benefited greatly throughout the day. BOLAND really were on a hiding to nothing. They were never expected to win today against WESTERN PROVINCE and that's exactly how it played out.

That's the end of the game and NORTHERNS wrap up a massive victory winning by 7 wickets. EASTERN 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. Spin 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 FREE STATE claiming an impressive victory by 4 wickets. 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. 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 FREE STATE 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 115 runs. GAUTENG 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. 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 EASTERN PROVINCE claiming an impressive victory by 5 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by EASTERN 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 EASTERN PROVINCE 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 5 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. 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.

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. Seam 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.
