That is all from the action here. It has been a pleasure bringing all the action to you from this match, don't go too far though as we have another SA20 match lined up at 9PM coming up for you. For now, this is Sourabh Agrawal signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Deepak Prakash and scorer Ashok Dayma. See you!
Rilee Rossouw (Pretoria Capitals Captain): "Yeah, definitely. I thought we started really well with the ball, and having Livingstone's experience at the end was crucial. Marques Ackerman also played an incredible knock to guide us over the line. It was a very important win for us.
No, I mean, it wasn’t a typical Centurion wicket. It was a bit tricky out there, so we wanted to take it as deep as possible. I thought they executed it perfectly, playing it to the letter to push for that bonus point in the last over.
The bowlers stepped up and delivered, placing the ball in the right areas and asking the right questions. With this win, we hope more people come out to support us. We want to represent them and secure victories for them."

Aiden Markram (Sunrisers Eastern Cape's Captain): "We would have bowled first, still like to think that we are a better outfit that that, not gonna blame it on the toss, still need to set the game up with the bat and then follow up with the ball as well. Wasn't another ideal day for us. Luckily not all doom and gloom for us.
Quite hard to try and think about that now (why batting has not worked), probably a case of the way T20 circuit works, players run with the form but when you are searching for form it can be tough with a game every second or third day but there are some great players there and guys that we back to get the job done for us.
Not a big fan of issuing directives or telling guys how to play, each guy plays differently now a days, you just want to encourage them to be the best version of themselves, we know in cricket if you get off to good starts you end up getting good scores, those basics still apply.
We will never throw the towel in, hopefully we can start playing some good cricket and getting some results."

Eathan Bosch (Player of the Match): "It had obviously been under covers for a couple of days due to all the rain in the area, so we were just trying to assess the conditions as quickly as possible. But overall, I feel that as a bowling unit, we really bowled well today.
Yeah, definitely. We had a lot of discussions after our first game, so it was great to see the boys stick to their plans.
(On Dupavillon) Yeah, he's been bowling really well lately. But I feel that in this game, you need to take every wicket you can, especially at the top. That said, he bowled brilliantly today.
The guys were disappointed with that performance, and then we had a rain-affected match. We play for our fans, so it felt great to secure a win."

Time for the post-match presentation.....
16:12 IST, 19:42 IST: Pretoria Capitals win and they get the bonus point too for their dominant performance. They jump up straight to the second spot in the points table be it for a short time only and how good it must feel for a team who made a meal of a run chase a few days ago and then saw rain prevent any play in their next fixture. On the other hand, the torrid season for the defending champions as the Sunrisers Eastern Cape suffer their third straight loss and all of those have been hammerings too making their journey ahead really tough as they sit firmly at the bottom of the table.
All the work was done by the Capitals' bowlers in the first half when they skittled out the Sunrisers for 113, a total which looked way too short right from the start and it proved to be exactly that. The top-order was blown away against the new ball as they were 4/3 and 26/5 at one stage. All thanks to Marco Jansen's powerful 51 which saved them the blushes or else it could have been even worse for them. Bosch and Dupavillon wrecked early havoc with the new ball and then every other bowler who came in chipped in with the wickets.
114 was only about getting a half decent performance together for the Capitals and they came out all guns blazing, Jacks got off the blocks quickly and played some big shots right at the start. Gurbaz tried his best but his was a scratchy and underwhelming effort. Gleeson ruffled a few feathers in the middle with his pace as he picked up a couple of wicket and things did become a touch interesting at 61/4. But then, a calm and composed partnership between Ackerman and Livingstone not only brought calmness back in the Capitals' camp but also took them through all the way with a six off the final ball giving them a bonus point.
