Knights smash it at home

The Northern Knights rocked into town recently to host the Canterbury Kings in a Georgie Pie Super Smash T20 match at Cobham Oval. Helping the Knights to victory with an impressive knock of 42 off 18 balls in the first innings, Black Cap Corey Anderson bettered his previous Northern Districts T20 milestone of 35 not out to aid the Knights towards their final score of 172/8 off 20 overs. Unable to chase down the Knights’ score in the second stanza, the Kings fell short of a win by 13 runs to traipse home on 160/6 after 20 overs. Northern Advocate photographer Tania Whyte captured the match and the crowd’s reaction to the first-ever GPSS T20 match held in Whangarei.
