By

The Warriors go into battle mode with two T20 Challenge matches remaining in this season’s competition.

Currently second on the log the Warriors will play the Cobras tomorrow night in Port Elizabeth and then head back to East London on Sunday for their match against the log leaders, Titans.

Captain, Jon-Jon Smuts played a magnificent innings against the Dolphins in East London last night with an unbeaten 107 off 58 balls. Both Colin Ingram (55 off 26 balls) and Christiaan Jonker (36 off 20 balls) made substantial contributions to the Warriors chasing down the Dolphins 217 with 6 balls to spare. The bowlers were put under pressure after the Dolphins won the toss and elected to bat.
