What a game of cricket! Dolphins held their nerves and pulls out a terrific victory from the jaws of Cobras. It was a run a ball affair at the start of the 17th over with 6 wickets in hand but they just read the script very badly which was written brilliantly by Levi with his blistering 85. Phehlukwayo concedes just 3 runs off the last over, the change of pace did the trick, applause to this young lad who bowls at the right length and also good work with the variation. Thanks for joining us, this is Chandan Duorah signing off, night and cheers!

Phehlukwayo to Paterson, OUT

Cape Cobras is on a rock and roll! Another one, this was a back of a length delivery and outside off. Paterson goes back and slaps it down to the ground, not enough power to clear the man at long-off and a simple catch to Miller.

Another one, Dolphins now at the top! Bowls that from back of the hand as pushes a full toss outside off, driven that down to wide of long-off.

Phehlukwayo to Ngoepe, OUT

Cape Cobras just throwing it away, another one bites the dust, this was full on the middle stump. Ngoepe lofts it straight into the hands of Bravo at long-off. It is just a run a ball affair and they are creating scenes which looks a bit more tougher, need to pull up their shocks real soon
