Knights' opener Reeza Hendricks slammed a 66-ball 98, but his knock was in vain as Cape Cobras held on for a four-wicket win in Kimberley to move up to third in the table. Knights, after being inserted, began brightly as Hendricks and his opening partner Rudi Second added 92 in 11 overs. Second fell for a 25-ball 35, but Hendricks, who could score only 101 runs from five innings in the Momentum One Day Cup, carried his bat to power the team to 174 for 5. Hendricks drilled 13 fours and a six during his knock, but received little by way of support from his other team-mates, as no other batsman could manage more than 19. George Linde was the pick of Cobras' bowlers, collecting 4 for 21.
Cobras lost early ground in their chase as both Richard Levi and Omphile Ramela fell inside three overs. However, Andrew Puttick led a recovery, putting up crucial stands with Justin Ontong (31) and Rory Kleinveldt. Puttick and Kleinveldt both fell off successive deliveries, but Kleinveldt's 14-ball 36 had already swung the advantage Cobras' way. Sybrand Engelbrecht ensured the team did not lose any momentum, slamming 33 off 15 balls to guide Cobras home with an over remaining.
