MWP11-Dec-2000Rain drove the final nail into the coffin of the KwaZulu-Natal Dolphins’Supersport Series hopes, washing out the entire final day of their matchagainst Border on Monday, although in reality, their hopes had been dashedon Sunday.Having ended the third day on 117 for five in their second knock and leadingby a paltry 49, it looked as though there was only one winner, and it wasn’tthe Dolphins, who end their four-match programme in Pool B without a win.Fortunately for Border, the victory they were denied won’t affect the pointsthey carry through to the Super Eight phase, having secured their passagewhen they picked up three bonus points for bowling to leapfrog EasternProvince.EP go through as well, despite no victories, the same record as the haplessKwaZulu-Natal line-up.At least the Dolphins, one of the three real giants of South Africanprovincial cricket, know they’ll be in good company in the consolationSupersport Shield, with the Highveld Strikers, the defending SupersportSeries champions, having been consigned to that competition weeks ago.
