Smuts 61 secures Warriors victory

Cape Cobras had the best bowler - Mthokozisi Shezi with 5 for 34 - and the top scorer of the game - Wayne Parnell with 74 not out - but they still fell 12 short of Warriors in East London.

Warriors cobbled together a total of 153 for 8 after choosing to bat, the innings stuttering as only three batsmen made it past 20. JJ Smuts' unbeaten 61 off 40 balls was their best score, while Colin Ackerman's 34 was second highest. Shezi ran through the middle and lower order, striking twice in two different overs to cripple the innings.

Cobras opened with Parnell once again and he made 74 off 60 balls, batting through the innings. He got very little support though and there was a steady fall of wickets at the other end. Justin Kemp's 20 was the next best score for Cobras and a low scoring rate deprived the chase of momentum. Five Warriors bowlers picked up wickets, with Andrew Birch returning best figures of 3 for 28.
