Justin Kemp had a nasty injury tryring to take a diving catch and immideatly ran to Cape Cobras dugout to get some treatement as losing the all-rounder would end up being a big blow for the fielding side. Northern Knights meanwhile were living dangerously and were Hashim Amla nearly took a spectacular diving catch. Robin Peterson’s bowling did little to stem the flow of runs and and Anton Devcich struck a lovely boundary.

Earlier, Charl Langevelt was tidy after a wayward first over and the Northern Knights were finding it hard to get runs under way and were constantly faltering in their attempts to clear the ropes.  It was Kane Williamson who got a move on with the score and he was rewarded when a hook of Vernon Philander cleared the ropes and the score made for better reading. Northern Knights were trying to go hell for leather right from ball one but the batsman could not connect with the Charl Langevelt’s wayward bowling. There was a run-out chance too but it went begging. Another wayward delivery from the former South African new ball bowler went for a boundary and it was Kane Williamson who was in the act.

Cape Cobras won the toss and elected to bat first in the only encounter of the day in Raipur. Cobras revieved a big blow when their talisman JP Duminy was ruled of the tournament. The high flying knights have been looking solid and are maintaining a largely unchanged line-up. Knights’ key man Daniel Harris misses out this game.
