That is it from this game! It is time for 2nd Semi-final. Joburg Super Kings will take on Sunrisers Eastern Cape at 2100 IST (1530 GMT). Do join us for the build up. Cheers!
Theunis de Bruyn says they are very happy. Adds they stuck the plans are happy to the final. Shares their bowlers were superb. It is their engine room and it brings them trophies. Reckons one more game to go and hopes to put on another good performance.
Rilee Rossouw is the Player of the Match. He says they bowled according to the plan. Adds the pitch was two-paced and feels they ost a bit of momentum but he decided to take it deep and it paved in the end. Reckons the bowlers did well.
Presentation time...
There was a stage when Pretoria Capitals were struggling to even get past 120 but the knocks from Rilee Rossouw and Eathan Bosch helped them to go past 150. Pretoria Capitals had the momentum and the bowlers stepped up as well. Adil Rashid was at his best while Eathan Bosch stepped up with the ball as well. Anrich Nortje went for runs but came back strongly. A comprehensive performance. Pretoria Capitals have now won twice against Paarl Royals in two days but this win will be more sweeter as they go to the final.
SA20 have their first finalist! There is a reason Pretoria Capitals finished on top of the table. They look so compact. Superb bowling performance though! They stuck to their plans and bowled accordingly to dismiss such a dangerous Royals side. Pretoria Capitals had a decent total to defend. Eathan Bosch started brilliantly. Paul Stirling tried to counterattack but he too fell. Eoin Morgan and David Miller tried to build a stand but the wicket of the former didn't help them much and as the game went by the pressure ascended on Miller. He tried his best but in the end, his valiant knock was not enough.
