The Nashua Mobile Cape Cobras lost their chance to defend their MiWay T20 Challenge title when they went down to the Nashua Titans by 6 wickets with 9 balls to spare in their penultimate league match at SuperSport Park yesterday.
It is a result that means that they can finish no higher than fourth on the log and will thus not qualify for the knock-out phase.
The same fate has befallen last season's runners-up, the Chevrolet Warriors following their defeat against the Chevrolet Knights by 7 wickets with 5 balls to spare at the De Beers Diamond Oval.
Welcome back Davy Jacobs, though, after a long spell out with injury - his 46 off 36 balls showed just how much the Warriors have missed him this season.
The top three positions will now bo to the Lions, Knights and Titans with the exact order being determined on matches to be played on Wednesday.
