Warriors through to finals

Warriors 175 for 6 (Jacobs 61, Ingram 46, Harris 3-16) beat South Australia 145 for 7 (Ferguson 71, Tsotsobe 2-16) by 30 runs
Southern Redbacks comprehensively defeated by 30 runs.
Warriors captain Davy Jacobs' blistering 61 and his 105-run second-wicket stand with Colin Ingram (46), Warriors posted a challenging 175 for six and then restricted South Australia to 145 for seven. Earlier, opting to bat, Jacobs led from the front with the quick-fire half-century and together with Ingram set the tone for the competitive score with the century plus second-wicket partnership that came off just 72 balls. Jacobs' quick-fire 41-ball innings was decorated with 10 boundaries and a six, while Ingram struck three fours and a six during his stay.
Nicky Boje came up with a short little seven-ball 22 run unbeaten cameo in the end to take Warriors beyond the 170-run mark. Medium-pacer Daniel Harris pulled South Australia back into the match with figures of three for 18 from his four overs, while Shaun Tait scalped two victims for 37.South Australia's chase never got going as they lost wickets upfront to find themselves in a precarious position and eventually fell short by 30 runs. Callum Ferguson fought a losing cause for South Australia with a quick-fire 71 that came off just 49 balls but his heroics were not enough to take his side into the summit clash.
