Knights Preview
The Knights had a rough start to their campaign, suffering a four-wicket defeat to North West.

Gerrie Snyman’s 85 off 77 was the standout performance, while Patrick Botha chipped in with 40 off 45.
Heading into their next match, the team will need contributions from other key batters, including Dian Forrester and Dominic Hendricks. Forrester had a strong showing last season, accumulating 353 runs in eight innings at an average of 50.42.
The bowling unit had its moments, with Aaron Phangiso picking up 2-42 in his 10 overs. Johannes van Dyk also took two wickets but conceded 53 runs. With Snyman and Malusi Siboto providing additional support, the attack will be looking to put in a stronger performance in the upcoming fixtures.
