230/5(20)

99(14.1)

The top of the table contest has turned into a no contest. It was Knights all the way after they were asked to bat first. Seifert and Brownlie set the platform, Hampton and Mitchell took the game away from the Stags with a brazen full-fledged assault. 231 was always tough to chase and it was over once the top-order was blown away by Wagner and Kuggeleijn. Nathula then turned attention his way with a 6-wicket haul - as the Knights completed the demolition job. The Knights have confirmed a home final with this win, while the Stags join the Aces, Volts and the Firebirds in a four-way contest to join them. That concludes our coverage of today's Super Smash, do join us on February 2nd for more enthralling cricket. For now, cheers and bye..
