Northerns 203 for 8 (Aronstam 43, de Bruyn 66) defeated Easterns 195 all out (Seymore 48, Wiese 45) by 8 runs
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
A disciplined bowling performance lifted Northerns to victory against Easterns at Benoni. The visitors elected to bat and piled up 203 for 8, thanks mainly to an unbeaten 66 by Pierre de Bruyn. In reply, Easterns were in the reckoning as long as David Wiese was at the helm. His 45 glued the innings together, but when he was run out by Pierre Joubert in the 40th over (181 for 8) his team became unstuck as Maurice Aronstam and Alfonso Thomas each claimed a second wicket to dismiss the home side just short of their target.
