The Knights scored 266-runs on day one of the CSA 4-Day match against Boland being played in Paarl.

The Knights had a bat first and the veteran spinner Aaron Phangiso led the charge with the willow with an innings-saving knock of 73.

The opener Isaac Dikgale scored 40, while the allrounder Dian Forrester chipped in with 30 runs as the Free State was dismissed for less than 300 in their first innings.

The former Knights spinner, Shaun von Berg, was the pick of the Boland bowlers with 4/61 in 20.4 overs, while Glenton Stuurman and Siyabonga Mahima each claimed two scalps.
