JOHANNESBURG, Dec 16: Highveld Lions and Cape Cobras shared the South African One-day Cup after a final replay was rained out yet again on Saturday.

After play was washed out on Friday, the final was rescheduled as a 50-over game on Saturday.

Sent in to bat, the Lions scored steadily with a notable 56 by Alviro Petersen, who enjoyed a 72-run partnership with Quinton de Kock (41).

After 50 overs they had scored a respectable 241 for the loss of seven wickets.

The Cobras’ Rory Kleinveldt took three wickets, conceding 41 runs.

The Cobras started their innings well, but leg-spinner Imran Tahir took two wickets for two runs.

They were 69-2 after 11 overs when heavy showers sent the players rushing from the field.

The officials declared a no-result, and defending champions Cobras and Lions share the title.
