That's the end of the game and WESTERN PROVINCE wrap up a massive victory winning by 6 wickets. EASTERN PROVINCE 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.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with WESTERN PROVINCE claiming an impressive victory by 4 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. 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.

The match is drawn. WESTERN PROVINCE and BOLAND share the spoils in this battle. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Swing, seam and spin benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome.

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. NORTHERNS 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. 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.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with FREE STATE claiming an impressive victory by 44 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. Swing and seam benefited greatly throughout the day. Oh dear - if you're a NORTHERNS 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.

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. BOLAND 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. 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 BOLAND 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 154 runs. EASTERN PROVINCE 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. Swing 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 WESTERN PROVINCE proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
