The point is to not let the Redbacks win the Matador Cup by taking our 3 best bowlers and captain.

9/294 after 50

started well with Warner, then Finchy was unlucky to be given out. looked like the ball caught a bit of grass for mine. one of those ones where it's hard to tell and the camera angle can be deceiving, but I think the soft signal was out so the 3rd ump gave it. Bailey did well again and Marsh looked really good till he edged one to the keeper. great catch. Hastings came in and had a good partnership with Bailey

kept losing wickets throughout. the run rate was never a problem but we couldn't capitalize at the end

gotta bowl well... Boland :-\ Worrall ??? Hastings :) Zampa 8)

goin to sleep now. wake up for the grannie

De Kock sure pushed his way and batted us out of the game. What would have been SA score if they batted first with 14 overs to spare? Sick bowling attack for sure.

some good hitting at the end from Head gets us to 6/371. centuries to Warner and Smiddy

not safe at all.  good score but can our bowlers defend it
