Topping finishes it with a six! One hand comes off the bat as he swings the ball towards the mid-wicket boundary. White tracks the ball back and can't do anything as it sails over his head. Knights win!

In a game that none of us will forget for a while, the Knights came out and swarmed all over the Reds to win the game with ease.
With both Adair and Pretorius middling the ball from the start of the Innings, the Reds couldn't gain any control and by the time that the wickets started falling it was too late.
Ben White managed to pick up a couple of wickets and was the only Reds bowler not to be carted around the ground. It's also just been announced that Ruhan Pretorius has been named the player of the match.
A seven wicket win on DLS means that the Knights pick up four points for the win and move into second place in the table, one behind the Warriors. Both teams play each other tomorrow, that's a game that you aren't going to want to miss.
Thanks for following along to day, with the action that we saw on and off the ground. Wonder what's going to happen tomorrow? Hopefully you'll join me then, this is Justin saying goodbye from the Mardyke.
