Jonty Rhodes, who will be joining the South African one-day squad in Australia in the New Year, took 65 off the Eastern Province Jumbos to steer the KwaZulu-Natal Dolphins towards a four-wicket victory in the Standard Bank Cup on Wednesday night. At SuperSport Park, Northerns Titans beat Free State by five wickets.

Rhodes shared in a 78-run third wicket stand with Ahmed Amla (39), as the Dolphins made light work of a Jumbos' total of 180 all out in just 43.4 overs. The victory takes the Dolphins to the top of the Standard Bank Cup log.

At SuperSport Park, Martin van Jaarsveld's unbeaten 73 enabled the Titans to overcome amid-innings wobble to cruise to victory over the Free State Eagles with more than three overs to spare.
