Van Schalkwyk and Von Berg seal priceless win for Knights
SHADLEY van Schalkwyk and Shaun von Berg shared seven wickets as the VKB Knights reignited their 4-Day Domestic Series title prospects by toppling the second-placed Warriors in a 10-wicket win on the final day of their game in East London yesterday.
The pair claimed 4/28 and 3/83 respectively, overshadowing a battling maiden century by rising young star Matthew Breetzke in the process to secure a priceless victory at Buffalo Park.
And, with the Imperial Lions losing to the Hollywoodbets Dolphins, the result did leave the door open for those chasing like the two teams in action in the Eastern Cape.
The hosts, though, without star pair of captain Jon-jon Smuts and Sisanda Magala due to a national fitness camp, did miss their in the KSD Pairs this weekend.
