Eastern Cape Warriors defeated South Australia Redbacks by 30 runs to enter the final of the Champions League Twenty 20 tournament. The Warriors outplayed South Australia in every department in Saturday's semifinal. After Warriors had scored 175 for six in its allotted 20 overs, thanks to a second-wicket partnership of 104 between captain Davey Jacobs and Colin Ingram, the bowlers sealed the win. Left-armer Lonwabo Tsotsobe delivered a crucial spell with the new ball to impair the chase. He dismissed in-form openers Daniel Harris and Michael Klinger to reduce South Australia to 21 for two. Nicky Boje caught Graham Manou off his bowling and Johan Botha had Cameron Borgas caught at mid-wicket to further hurt South Australia. Boje and Botha bowled with control on a track responsive to spin as the asking rate climbed to more than two runs per ball.
