Northerns vs Free State
Jonathan Vandiar was the star player for his side batting until the 19th over and scoring 81 off 51 balls (10 fours, 3 sixes). This helped them post a mammoth 203/4. They proceeded to skittle Free State for 131. Ruan de Swart (3-14) and Luvuyo Nkese (3-24) were the key bowlers taking three wickets each.
Kwa-Zulu Natal vs Gauteng
Natal’s bowling performance won them their game against Gauteng. After scoring just 124/8 in 20 overs, they defended this spectacularly by restricting Gauteng to 112/8. They had a spread out bowling performance with
Daryn Dupavillon and Prenelan Subrayen taking two wickets each. The star of the day was Delano Potgieter who took 4-27 in what was unfortunately 12-run defeat for his side.
Eastern Province vs Boland
Joshua van Heerden (61 off 51 balls) and Kelly Smuts (64 off 46 balls) scored a bulk of their side’s runs to help EP post 151-2. Their bowling attack did well to restrict Boland to 144/7, with Tiaan van Vuuren (2-33), Basheeru-Deen Walters (2-21) and Thomas Kaber (2-22) taking the bulk of the wickets. They secured a seven-run win despite a good start from Hanno Kotze (47 off 40 balls) at the top of the order.
South Western District vs Kwa-Zulu Natal Inland
Robbie Frylinck used his experience to take 4-7 in 3.1 overs which saw SWD skittled for 118. A 47 off 43 balls from Cody Chetty and 43 off 35 balls from Grant Roelofsen took KZN to 106 before Kyle Nipper’s 11-ball 18 sealed an eight-wicket victory.
Western Province vs Border
Despite 53 from Andre Malan and 46 off 30 balls from Jason Smith taking WP to 150/4, the team from the Cape still found themselves on the losing side. Quick-fire cameos won the game for Border, with Sinethemba Qeshile top scoring for his side with a 31-ball 38.
Mpumalanga vs Limpopo
Alexander Kok (46 off 23 balls) and Glen Adams (42 off 32 balls) were mainly responsible for their Mpumalanga’s total of 172/9. But they could not stop Lerato Kgoatle from scoring the first century of the tournament. The 26-year old romped a 67-ball 101 (16 fours and a six) to take his side to a seven-wicket win.
