PORT ELIZABETH: Davey Jacobs and Ashwell Prince shared a 147-run opening partnership as the Eastern Cape Warriors beat the Central Stags by six wickets in the Champions League Twenty20 at St George's Park on Saturday.

The South African champions had to make the highest successful run chase of the tournament after the Stags made 175/3 in their 20 overs. It was the third win in three matches in Group A for the Warriors.

Jamie How, the Stags captain, batted through the innings for the New Zealand side for the second match in succession, following his unbeaten 77 against the Victoria Bushrangers on Wednesday with 88 not out on Saturday, but once again it was not enough to provide his inexperienced team with a winning platform.
