At the Innings break, you could have wondered how the Knights were going to chase down this target. Jason van der Merwe quickly gave us the answer! The ball flew to all parts of the ground in his quick fire 53 off only 36 balls. I'd be shocked if that doesn't give him the player of the match award. The Lightning bowlers never had a reponse and even when Hoey and Sidhu started to pull the scoring rate back a little, the pressure just wasn't there. The eight wicket win on DLS, in such quick time means that the Knights pick up five points for the win, to stretch their lead at the top of the table. It's just been confirmed that Jason van der Merwe has picked up that player of the match award, not bad for him on his List A debut. After this game the Interpros go into hibernation until August, so don't forget about us in the break. Until then, this is Justin thanking you for following along and I'll see you again soon
