An emphatic bowling display by Sisanda Magala steered the Warriors to an eight-wicket victory over the Cobras in East London on Saturday.

The victory has given the Warriors a valuable spot in the upcoming semi-finals with the Momentum One Day Cup reaching its group-stage conclusion this weekend.

With the Cape side batting first, Magala produced figures of 6-24 as the Cobras were dismissed for only 188 in 43.5 overs despite making a relatively sound start to their innings.

But, poor contributions throughout the middle and lower order gave the Warriors a small target to reach and they did so quite easily.

80 not out by opener Matthew Breetzke provided enough foundation for the Warriors to reach the total with 94 balls to spare.

The Titans and Knights will fight out for the fourth semi-final spot on Sunday with the Dolphins and Lions already safely in the playoffs.
