Kyle Abbott's early strikes set the tone for the Dophins' attack

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Sunfoil Dolphins claiming an impressive victory by 47 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Sunfoil Dolphins 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 Sunfoil Dolphins proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Despite an AB de Villiers masterclass the Lions couldn't get over the line

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. Cape Cobras 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. Spin benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Cape Cobras proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Despite McCullum's efforts Tahir stole the show with the first 5 for

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. Chevrolet Knights 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 spin benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Chevrolet Knights proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
