Warriors — North West: 128:131, CSA T20 Challenge

North West made it two wins from two in the T20 Challenge KSA, beating the Warriors 131 to 128 at their home ground on Thursday. The visitors moved up to second place with five points, while the hosts slipped further behind in fourth with four points after two games.

It was a match decided by runs rather than wickets, and the margin was razor-thin. By then, both sides had already announced themselves as teams that do not travel to make up the numbers. The Warriors had been building momentum from their earlier victory, but this time the chase fell short.

North West's recent form has been aggressive - they posted 642 against Boland just eight days ago, and 595 against the Knights. The Warriors, meanwhile, had given away 443 to Western Province in their last outing. High-scoring encounters have become their pattern.

The result means North West now hold the upper hand in the standings, sitting one point ahead of the hosts. For the Warriors, the loss breaks what could have been a stronger start to their campaign. They will need to regroup quickly with only two games played so far.
