What a fightback from the Cobras! Apart from a dodgy opening over from Zondeki, they never released the pressure and the Dolphins simply folded in the face of the onslaught.

Miller batted well, but all the bowlers will look back on their work this evening with pride. Philander took a career best 5/17 and was named the Master Blaster bowler but it was an excellent team effort.

That effectively eliminates the men from KZN from the competition while the Cobras are now virtually sure of a spot in the semi-finals.

So good-night from newlands. Justin kemp was the Master Blaster Batsman.
