Ball by Ball Commentary & Live Score

A great win for the Cobras, breaking through the Titans middle order when it seemed as if they would hold out for the draw. The target of 168 was a tester, but Vallie played his second notable innings of the match to steer the tea

to the brink of victory, and ends a remarkable SSS debut as the Man of the Match.

The Cobras go to the top of the leg, and will have to defend a slender 1.12 lead in the final round next weekend. The Cobras will be in Paarl against the Warriors while the Titans take on the Knights in Benoni.
