Brevis (100 off 78) did not acquire much support as wickets kept falling around him, putting up 69 runs with Matthew Kleinveldt (47), and 38 runs with Rivaldo Moonsamy (5) before he fell to Kerwin Mungroo in the 26th over.

Mungroo (2/33), Migael Pretorius (2/35), and Senuran Muthusamy (2/46) led the attack that restricted the hosts to 207 all out in honest under 38 overs.

Dragons made an easy chase when Meeka-eel Prince (89 off 78) and Lesego Senokwane (52 off 47) combined for an opening partnership of 115 runs. The pair fell to Neil Brand (2/36), who trapped Senokwane lbw and Prince stumped by Moonsamy off his delivery.

Raynard van Tonder (32*) and Wihan Lubbe (15*)  took the innings home to secure a comfortable eight-wicket win for the visitors.

In Division 2, Six Gun Grill Garden Route Badgers won by 30 runs against Limpopo Impalas in Oudtshoorn on Thursday.
