Puttick and Duminy hurry Cobras to win

A round-up from the fourth day in round four of the SuperSport Series

At the Wanderers the Cape Cobras cruised to an easy six wicket win over the Lions thanks to a 70 from Andrew Puttick and a 64 not out from JP Duminy. Set a target of 271 the Cobras eased past it with the loss of four wickets. Earlier the Lions collapsed from an overnight 262 for 5 to be bowled out for 296, mainly due to the 6 for 39 from Alan Dawson who finished the match with 10 wickets.
In Durban the Dolphins and the Titans played out a draw with the bad light denying the Titans a deserved win. The Dolphins was set a target of 322 after the Titans declared their innings at the overnight total of 246 for 5. The Titans looked to the left arm spin of Paul Harris to take them to the win, but he could only manage three wickets to go with the five he took in the first innings. For the Dolphins it was left to Doug Watson (59) and Dale Benkenstein (43 not out) to steer the team into the safety of the draw with them holding on at 231 for 8 when bad light ended the match.
Rain and bad light allowed very little play to be played on the final day in Port Elizabeth with the game called off as a draw. The Eagles declared their second innings at 136 for 7 setting the Warriors a sporting target of 178. A game effort from the Warriors to bat on under some very poor light ended when the umpires eventually decided that it was too dark to continue. The Warriors had scored 70 for 2 when the game was called off.
