Right then! That is it from this game! But the action from CSA T20 Challenge continues as we have another double-header lined up on Friday, 18th February. It will be Knights taking on Western Province in the first game which begins at 1.30 pm IST (8 am GMT). The second game of the day sees a tussle between Dolphins and North West Dragons. That games begins at 6 pm IST (12.30 pm GMT). Do join us then and make sure you tune in early for the buildup. Cheers!
Pieter Malan, the skipper of Rocks, says that he is proud of his boys and is happy that they got over the line. Tells that they have got good balance in their squad and applauds Copeland by saying that he is doing a really good job for them
Shaun von Berg is the BOWLER OF THE MATCH. He says, he started off badly but he got lucky and is happy with the three wickets. Mentions, he has been playing for a while now and is happy to get over the line.
Michael Copeland is the BATTER OF THE MATCH. He says that he was lucky that he had batters hanging around him. Adds that the chat between the batters was that they will take the game deep and one of the batters will go for it in the end.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Warriors put up a really good fight but they could not get away with a win in the end. They started off really well by picking up two wickets in the first two overs. But then, Warriors lost their track in the field, they leaked some extra runs and dropped a few chances. Later they picked up two wickets in quick succession but failed to apply the same pressure throughout. The bowlers came to life in the death and picked up wickets in cluster. Although the Rocks' had enough depth with the blade to take the game away from Warriors.
Rocks came back strongly! It was not the perfect of starts for the Rocks, as they lost the Malan brothers inside the first two overs. It looked like Rocks will be put under pressure but the third wicket partnership between Clyde Fortuin and Ferisco Adams made sure to make up for the two quick wickets by some brisk scoring. The pair took the side to safer shores but both slipped out in quick succession. Later, a stand between Jonker and Copeland took them closer to the finish line. In the end, the lower order applied the finishing touches to get their side over the line.
A complete team effort by Rocks makes sure they got over the line eventually after losing wickets in cluster in the death overs. Hardus Viljoen and Shaun von Berg kept their cool in the final over to get their side over the line. Warriors would be disappointed with their effort with the ball. They gave it their all till the final over but could not make it count.

Tiaan van Vuuren To Hardus Viljoen
FOUR! Absolute drama in the middle! A full ball, outside off. Hardus Viljoen drills it wide of the deep cover fielder. He pushes hard for the second run but the fielder in the deep makes a mess of it as he half-stops the ball in first place then he looks to push it back in play by sliding just in front of the ropes. He doesn't realize that the ball had already touched the ropes before he had collected and thrown it back to the bowler. The umpire has a check and the replays suggest that it is a boundary.

FOUR! Cheeky from Shaun von Berg! This is a full toss, on off. Shaun von Berg moves across and scoops it over the short fine leg fielder for a boundary. 6 needed from 5 now.
Who will bowl the final over? It will be Tiaan van Vuuren to bowl the final over. Will he be able to defend 10 runs off 6 balls?

Akhona Mnyaka To Hlomla Hanabe OUT!
OUT! RUN OUT! A mix-up in the middle and Hlomla Hanabe has to walk back now! This was a full ball,  on middle. Hlomla Hanabe drags it towards deep square leg and looks for a second run. He is a bit late to get to the striker's end. Wihan Lubbe collects the ball in the deep and throws it to the keeper. Sinethemba Qeshile grabs the ball and whips the bails off. Hlomla Hanabe is well short of his crease.
Is that a run out? The umpire takes it upstairs to confirm. The replays confirm Hlomla Hanabe is way short of the crease.
