The Redbacks hold on and win by 10 runs to go back to the top of the table. The slower bowlers of SA getting the job done strangling to Bulls. The three spinners took two wickets each. A lot of Bulls made starts in the middle order but no one went on . The Redbacks now take on Tasmania in a top of the table clash on Monday at Bellerive. The Bulls need to win at least two of their last three matches if not all three to make the finals. Dan Christian is Man-of-the-Match for his 41 off 25 balls. Thanks for your company tonight. Thanks to Sajan Nair for his support. This is Alex Malcolm saying so long from Adelaide.
