At Willowmoore Park, in Benoni, Easterns and Gauteng played out a hard fought draw. With rain interruptions and early finishes it was always going to be difficult for either team to manipulate a result. Gauteng declared at 310 for 9 after batting nine overs into the final day. Craig Knox, three runs short of his maiden 50, had to be content with a not out as Gauteng took a lead of 168. In the end Easterns managed to hold on thanks to 107 from Zander de Bruyn and some brave defence from the lower order. With time running out and Easterns with a lead of 107 with two wickets remaining the game was called off.
