Sisanda Magala, 5/20 in 4 overs vs VKB Knights
Sisanda Magala, 5/20 in 4 overs vs VKB Knights A career-best five-for by Sisanda Magala paved the way for the Imperial Lions to climb top of the Betway T20 Challenge table with a comfortable eight-wicket victory over the VKB Knights in Durban on Tuesday. The right-arm seamer grabbed five for 20 at Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium as Wandile Gwavu's charges ruthlessly dismissed their opponents for just 106, before Reeza Hendricks (47) and Temba Bavuma (53* off 47 balls, 3 fours, 1 six) did the bulk of the scoring to help reach the target with 11 deliveries to spare. It was the third successive win for the Lions and one that vaulted them to the top of the table with a maximum of 12 points, the same number as the Hollywoodbets Dolphins. Defeat for the Knights all but ends their interest in the competition. They will need to win their final match against the Dafabets Warriors on Thursday and hope several other results go in their favour to have any chance of reaching the play-offs. However, day five's afternoon match was all about the Lions and their clinical display on the east coast. After the Knights won the toss and batted, they were given no chance by their opposition pack of bowlers. Beuran Hendricks (2/21) removed openers Patrick Kruger (2) and Jacques Snyman (6), with Raynard van Tonder (6) dismissed by Magala in between. That left the Central Franchise on 15 for three early on, before the dependable Pite van Biljon tried to rebuild with 15. But both the captain and Grant Mokoena (8) fell to excellent Aaron Phangiso (2/14) in the same over to leave the opposition in further strife on 40 for five. Farhaan Behardien (28) top-scored for his side and together with Ferisco Adams (23) managed to at least get their side to 100, but Magala proved too good for the Knights' tail – their innings ending with the final delivery of their 20 overs. It was the best figures by the 30-year-old and beat his previous best haul of five for 28 for the Warriors against his current team at Port Elizabeth in 2015/16. Rising star Gerald Coetzee (2/19), handed his first game by coach Allan Donald, then rattled the Lions early on by removing Ryan Rickelton (0) and Dwaine Pretorius (2). However, the 93-run Bavuma-Reeza Hendricks second-wicket partnership killed off any upset hopes with the result then sealed in the penultimate over. Story and footage: Cricket South Africa

Rassie van der Dussen, 64 off 41 balls vs Warriors
Rassie van der Dussen, 64 off 41 balls vs Warriors A sizzling half-century in the Durban heat from Rassie van der Dussen together with seven shared wickets between Kagiso Rabada and Sisanda Magala helped the Imperial Lions make a strong start to the Betway T20 Challenge with a four-wicket win over the Dafabet Warriors on Saturday. Wandile Gwavu's team, champions of the competition when it was last played, bowled first after losing the toss but managed to dismiss their opponents for 157 at Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium. Seamer Magala was their most successful bowler with four for 37, but Proteas speedster Rabada was the man that impressed most with his three for 23. National team-mate Van der Dussen then blasted 64 off 41 balls (3 fours, 4 sixes) to lead the Lions' charge that ended with them crossing the line with four deliveries to spare. The margin of victory could have been even greater for the Johannesburg-based side had they not went through a wobble late during the chase. They were in control for most of the contest, though, especially after pulling the Warriors back following a fast start provided by Jon-Jon Smuts (14) and Gihahn Cloete (18). But from 34 for none after four overs, Rabada's pace then rattled the Eastern Cape side as they lost quick wickets to slump to 36 for three. Wihan Lubbe (22), who was rattled by a bouncer from the paceman that struck his head, and captain Sinethemba Qeshile (33) did lead the recovery – the Warriors reaching 107 for four at one stage. But they fell to the excellent Bjorn Fortuin (1/18) and Beuran Hendricks (1/29) respectively, before Magala returned to mop up the tail, the innings ending with the 10th wicket falling from the final delivery. The Lions lost Ryan Rickelton (5) and Reeza Hendricks (11) early, before Temba Bavuma (40) and Van der Dussen rebuilt with a 64-run second-wicket stand. The latter and Delano Potgieter (17) followed that by adding 58 for the next wicket to put the chase well on track. However, the two set men fell to Aya Gqamane (3/20) to threaten a late twist, but Fortuin struck nine quick runs to ensure there was no Warriors comeback as Gwavu's men sealed victory early in the final over.
