The Dolphins posted 211-5 thanks to half-centuries from David Miller (58 off 26 balls) and Grant Roelofsen (50 off 30). Miller hit six sixes and Roelofsen two.

Bryce Parsons scored a useful 39 off 31 balls at the top of the order while Andile Phehlukwayo finished unbeaten on 28 off 16 after coming in at No 6.

Jon-Jon Smuts took 1-22 in four overs, but the rest of the Warriors bowlers were battered.
