Thanks for joining us for the live coverage of the CSA Challenge tonight. This was Saurabh Saket alongside Ajay Ahire and Akshaya Krishna. Stay tuned as we bring you updates from all across the globe, until then stay tuned and stay safe.
Pite van Biljon, Knights Skipper: "I would say more than happy. We were up and down throughout the tournament. Our boys done well in some phases. We have to be happy in whatever we have done in this tournament. Our batting is having some problem and we batted poorly in some phases. Especially in the power play. Academy players put their hands up, Raubenheimer and others. Our bowlers done well. We are happy with some things that went our way and will come back stronger in the next edition."
Ziyaad Abhrahams (Bowler of the match): "Yeah I think I came into the team trying to do my basics and obviously got the opportunity. I think I just kept to the basics and did my job well and it's very simple. Yes definitely we wanted a win but unfortunately, it did not happen."
CP Klijnhans (Batter of the match): "I am very grateful for the performance in today's game. I always try to take it deep and did it successfully so really happy about that one. It's the first time for me to play in such kind of tournament and it's going well for me."
Saket: The Knights win by three runs! The Rocks took on the Knights in the second game of the CSA challenge on Tuesday. While the results of the game would not affect the points table both sides looked to finish with a win to their name.
The Knights opted to bat first after they won the toss. The team got off to a fiery start with 43 runs off the first four overs. Snyman was the first to depart as he lost his wicket to Abrahams. Tonder was the next in line as the batter alongside Klijnhans played a great inning to keep his side in the driving seat. The duo helped their side through the middle overs as Tonder was the first to depart for 38 off 33 deliveries with the score of 118-2.
The Rocks this opportunity to make a comeback into the game as Abhrahams picked up consecutive wickets in this 18th over to cripple the entire middle order, racking three wickets in a single over. However, Kruger player a quickfire cameo of 19 runs off 7 deliveries to help his side post a total of 164 runs at the end of 20 overs.
The Malan brothers started the chase off for the Rocks and got off to a good start as put up 40 runs plus partnership for the first wicket. Janneman Malan was sent packing up Mahlokwana but Fortuin and Pieter Malan kept the rocks in the game with a brilliant partnership for the second wicket to get their side in the driving seat in the contest.
Kruger dismissed Fortuin in the 16th over to get his side the much needed breakthrough. Pieter however kept his side in the chase bringing up his fourth fifty in t20 cricket. The Rocks required 18 off the final two overs as Coetzee tugged the game towards his side with a brilliant penultimate over giving just eight runs off it, to leave 10 runs required off the final six deliveries. The game went down to the wire as Mothoa bowled three brilliant deliveries to leaves 7 runs off the final three deliveries. He kept the momentum and did not allow the batters to hit any boundaries winning the game for his side by 3 runs.

18.6 G Coetzee to C Jonker
