There were varying fortunes from Kimberley tonight, where the Cobras were playing the Eagles in the latest MTN40 fixture.
Batting first, the Cobras once again batted beautifully, making 285-2 in their 40 overs. Stian Van Zyl made another century in a fine season while Herschelle Gibbs smashed 79 from just 53 balls.
It would have been understandable had the Eagles caved in at that point, but they mounted a fine reply, reaching 147-1 in the 24th over. Robin Peterson then took two wickets in two balls on his way to fine figures, in the circumstances of 2-43 in his eight overs.
On the other hand, Charl Langeveldt took fierce stick in his first four overs, which went for over 40 runs. He was then removed from the attack after five balls of his fifth over for bowling a beamer, with his figures an unusual 4.5-0-49-0
Nonetheless, the Cobras ended up winning in a close and exciting finish by 2 runs, with former Middlesex all rounder Vernon Philander taking three wickets.
