Bloemfontein - An outstanding innings of 82 off 49 balls by Cody Chetty helped the Dolphins to secure an eight-run victory over the Knights at Outsurance Park on Wednesday.
Chetty's 82, which included six fours and four sixes, came off 49 balls.
The Dolphins won the toss and batted first, posting a total of 184 for six.
Chetty shared a fifth wicket partnership of 76 with David Miller, who showed welcome signs of a return to form with 40 off 25 balls.
Mthokozisi Shezi struck with his second ball to dismiss the Knights’ captain Morne van Wyk for four, and the Knights were up against it throughout their innings, despite half centuries from Rilee Rossouw (57 from 38) and Ryan Bailey (50 from 29).
Imran Tahir was the pick of the Dolphins’ bowlers, taking two wickets for 29 runs.
The Knights needed 19 runs from the last over, which was bowled by Robbie Frylinck, but managed to score only 10.
It was the Dolphins' second consecutive win, following their victory over the Impi on Sunday. - Sapa
