Milestone
That's it from our coverage of this game. Time to wrap things up. This is me Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of Ovaise and Akshay Bhide alongside our scorer Raju. Stay safe, happy, and cool. We will catch you in the next game as cricket continues in our network from across the globe. Stay tuned and stay safe. TA-TA! 
Michael Copeland has been name the Batter of the Match : He says that he was lucky to have other batters hanging around him. He adds, the chat at the end was to take the game deep and one of the batter will go for it at the end.  
Shaun von Berg has been named Bowler of the Match : He says he started off poorly but got lucky and is happy with the 3 wickets he got. He also added that he has been playing from a long time and it was good to get a win today and help the team get over the line.  
Pieter Malan | Winning Captain: "Very proud of the guys. A 7 out of 10 performance from us and satisfied with our performance. We have got a good balance to our side and good signs for us. We will look to keep performing in the same way."

That's the end of the game and Rocks win this thriller by 3 wickets in the final over as they win by 3 wickets with 2 balls to spare. They get the points and the Warriors lose another game in this season. 

In this chase of 157, it was Fortuin and Adams who contributed with 27 each, Copeland was great as he top-scored with 40, Jonker battling a groin strain scored 30 off 25 balls invaluable contribution. Hardus Viljoen with 18 off 8 balls won them the game. Von Berg contributed with 6 off 3 balls as well. 

The Warriors bowled well, but the pacers went the distance as the use of them was baffling to me. Spin was great as they picked up early wickets but the pacers and some sloppiness cost them big time. JJ Smuts was the pick of the bowlers with 1-16 in 4 overs. 2-33 in 4 overs for Ndwanda. A wicket for Makhosi and a couple of wickets for Mnyaka. But it was not enough for the win for the Warriors as they stand eliminated from the competition. 

Earlier in the day, the Warriors after opting to bat first put up 156-6 with Lubbe scoring 35 off 25 balls and Tristan Stubbs top-scored once again with 47 off 30 balls. Diego Rossier also scored a handy 31 off 22 balls in the end. 

For the Rocks' bowlers, Manack was good in his 1-21 in 4 overs, Viljoen was tonked for 36 runs in 3 overs but he made up with willow in the hand. Mahima was economical in his 4 overs for 22 runs. Adams was expensive as he went for 45 runs in 4 overs. The pick of the bowlers was Von Berg 3-26 in 4 overs. He was the bowler of the match. 

All, in all a great performance as the Rocks, get home by 3 wickets with 2 balls to spare. The Warriors are out of the running along with the Knights as well. Stay tuned for the post-match presentation coming your way. 
19.4 Vuuren to H Viljoen
4 Full and straight, driven down the ground and Viljoes finishes this off. Brilliant chase by the Rocks, get past the line comfortably at the end. Vuuren was very expensive today, going for 55 in his 4 overs.
19.3 Vuuren to H Viljoen
4 FOURRR! Full and wide, driven down the ground away from the long off fielder, who jumps and saves it but then pushes it back on the boundary rope, looked close to the boundary line. He gets the throw in and the batter was struggling to get it but the fielder missed the return throw. On the replay it's clear that the ball hits the boundary line, don't know why the fielder didn't indicate it to the umpire. Lots of confusion!!!  
19.2 Vuuren to Berg
1 Very full and straight, Berg digs it out toward sweeper on the off side for a single.
19.1 Vuuren to Berg
4 Full toss and clever bating by Berg, who comes across and paddles it for a brilliant boundary. Just the start Rocks needed in the final over.
Akshay: Tiaan van Vuuren has conceded 42 runs in his three overs and now he has the task to defend 10 runs now.
