The Knights had a bat first and thanks to 63-runs by Patrick Botha and 43 by Garnett Tarr the Knights managed to post 257/9 in their allotted 50-overs.

There will be concern over the former Proteas batting allrounder, Jacques Snyman, who appeared to sustain an injury while at the crease. Snyman who scored back-to-back centuries in the two pervious games retired hurt with his score on 9-runs.

Don Radebe was outstanding with the ball for the Impalas as he recorded 5/50 in 10 overs.

Despite 99-runs by Louren Steenkamp and 34 by Eldred Hawken, the Impalas were bowled out for 227-runs in 46.1 overs.

Sithembile Langa, Dian Forrester and Nipho Mpungose each bagged three wickets for the Knights.

The Knights are on a six-match unbeaten run in the competition will be confident as they keep building towards the final.

The Knights final round-robin game is in Bloemfontein on Sunday when they face the Northern Cape Heat.

The final at the Mangaung Oval is set to be played on 20 October and at this stage it appears that they will face the South African Emerging team.
