The Dolphins are looking to pick up their second victory in a row after defeating the Titans by 76 runs on Saturday in the opening match of the competition. The Dophins are up against the Knights today (10 January) at Senwes Park. Their charge started shakily when opener Marques Ackerman was out for 1, caught brilliantly at slip off the bowling of Jacques Snyman.

It was an ingenious decision from the Knights to start with the spinner as the slower pitch made the ball grip and bounce off its surface. The Dolphins though recovered with Grant Roelofsen 33 (44) and Ruan de Swardt 29 (46) putting on a sturdy unbeaten 61-run partnership to take the score the 76/1 after 17 overs.
