KIMBERLY: The Northern Cape Heat, champions of the Division 2 Cricket South Africa (CSA) 4-Day Series, have once again secured a spot in the final, this time in the CSA T20 Knockout, following a tense encounter against the ITEC Knights in Kimberly on Thursday.

Opting to bat first, the Heat’s batting lineup, led by Jonathan Vandiar’s solid 56 and CP Klijhans’ 46, laid a strong foundation.

Hanu Viljoen’s unbeaten 25 and Grant Thompson’s 22, along with a crucial 19 from Modiri Litheko, bolstered the innings, culminating in a total of 186/5.

Jacques Snyman was the most successful bowler for the Knights, with a disciplined spell of 2/20 in four overs.

Facing a target of 187, Tshepo Ntuli, Ernest Kemm, and Basheer Walters spearheaded the Heat’s bowling attack, each claiming two wickets to restrict the Knights to 182/9.

Despite a spirited effort from the Knights, with Isaac Dikgale’s notable 43, supported by contributions from Patrick Botha (33) and Dian Forrester (25), the Heat secured a narrow four-run win, securing their place in the final.

The Heat will now face Limpopo Impalas on Sunday, 07 April 2024 at 13h00 in Polokwane.

  1. Soccer arrived in Africa via British colonials in the 1800’s and quickly spread. Just two decades after its introduction, there were already African teams.

  2. Cricket became an Olympic sport in 1896. However, no matches were held because there was an insufficient number of teams who attended. Had the sport been played that year, cricket would have earned the distinction of being the only team sport to be played at the time. The first Olympic match in the next Olympics (1900) was participated in by the men’s teams. Great Britain (represented by the Devon and Somerset Wanderers) won gold.
