Commentary

A disappointing performance from the Durban Supergiants but it's just early stages and they shouldn't lose hope. We have plenty of games lined up for the weekend across different tournaments. Do keep following Sportskeeda for all the sporting updates. So till the next time it's a wrap from the commentary box. This is Arya Sekhar Chakraborty signing off also on the behalf of my fellow commentator Raghav. Goodnight! Cheers!!

Wayne Parnell (Pretoria Capitals captain): It worked our nicely. It is also sticking to what we feel will work in a particular condition. I think it’s a bit different playing in the coast. There are lot of local and international players. Its about sharing information, just talking and timely execute. I think sometimes you can get too cute and funky. For us, it was just playing a positive brand of cricket and entertain people. Credit to every single bowler. Everyone managed to execute, they were switched on and so far it has been nice. That’s the kind of a man who has got us through. We want them to express themselves (on Will Jacks and Salt at the top of the order). When they do that they are at their best. Bonus points are definitely gonna come in and it will get tight towards the later stages.

Senuran Muthusamy (Player of the Match): Yeah, thanks Polly. Really grateful it came off today. Sometimes you bowl nicely and still don't get wickets so I am grateful. The crowd was great here. I think I played the first game and we have been winning. I was really grateful that these conditions allowed for an extra spinner. I had to be ready whenever my chance came. The pitch was a little tacky, two-paced. It wasn't an 80 wicket. It was perhaps a 140 wicket. I think the balls in the air went to hand which was the difference. Of course certainly (on whether he enjoyed bowling to the right-handers)>

Quinton de Kock: I am not too sure to be honset (on batting failure). It was possibly because of poor execution from us. They bowled really well. We expected swing and bounce, it was just a bad day from us. We had a chat during the middle overs to get to a respectable and play matchups total but nothing worked out for us. Even if there were two wickets at the start, we'd still be clutching at straws. Still plenty of games to go, we will look move on and look forward to the next one.

Time for the post-match presentation ceremony.

Pretoria Capitals won by 8 wickets (with 74 deliveries remaining)

Durban Supergiants 80 all out in 18.1 overs
Heinrich Klaasen 31(24) | Senuran Muthusamy 3/12 | Eathan Bosch 2/10

Pretoria Capitals 84/2 in 7.4 overs
Will Jacks 56(25) | Keshav Maharaj 1/8

The target of 81 was never going to bother the Pretoria Capitals. They did lose Philip Salt on the very first delivery of the run-chase but it was just a blemish in an otherwise perfect day for the Capitals. Will Jacks turned it on in the second over for Reece Topley and with 25 runs already on the board under 3 overs, the result was a foregone conclusion.

The boundaries came flowing in the powerplay as Will Jacks looked to finish it off in a hurry. It was exquisite timing on display all through Jacks’ innings. He was severe on Hardus Viljoen in the final over of the powerplay, smashing him for 23 runs including a couple of fours and sixes each.

Jacks reached his half-century in just 22 balls and fell on 56 with just 3 runs away from the target. They got to the target in the 8th over and emerged victorious by 8 wickets and with 74 deliveries to spare.

Earlier in the day, it was Quinton de Kock who won the toss and opted to bat. It was a disappointing performance from the batters as they kept losing wickets on regular intervals and could never get any sort of flow to their innings.

After Wayne Parnell and Anrich Nortje’s superb opening burst, it was the spin duo of Senuran Muthusamy and Adil Rashid who totally turned the tide in their favor. They bagged 4 wickets among them, conceding just 22 runs in 8 overs. None of the batters could get any sort of momentum. Towards the end, it was Anrich Nortje who wiped out the tail, eventually bowling them out for just 80 runs.

8.0

7.4 Prenelan Subrayen to Thenuis de Bruyn, FOUR! GAME! SET! MATCH! Fraction short and on the leg, de Bruyn gets inside the line and sweeps it past backward square leg for a boundary!

7.3 Prenelan Subrayen to Thenuis de Bruyn, full and wide, squeezed out to point

7.2 Prenelan Subrayen to Rilee Rossouw, length delivery on the pads, tucked away to short fine leg for a single, scores level!

7.1 Prenelan Subrayen to Thenuis de Bruyn, length delivery on fourth stump, de Bruyn gets across and slams it to long on for a single

Prenelan Subrayen, right-arm off break comes into the attack.

Rilee Rossouw, LHB comes out to the crease.

Jacks will get a round of applause as he departs. The first one which he hasn't hit from the middle and carries all the way to the deep midwicket fielder. But take a bow Jacks, 56 off just 25 deliveries.

6.6 Keshav Maharaj to Will Jacks, OUT! Jacks tries to finsih things off in style but couldn't quite clear deep midwicket this time. It was short again, Jacks uses all his power to clear the fence but this was probably the first time he did not find the middle of the bat as he hits it straight to Subrayen at deep midwicket. He is disappointed but he leaves the field after receiving a standing ovation.

Will Jacks c Prenelan Subrayen b Keshav Maharaj 56 (25b 4x5 6x4)

6.5 Keshav Maharaj to Will Jacks, on length and outside off, pushed to mid off

6.4 Keshav Maharaj to Will Jacks, SIX! There are no boundaries big enough for him. A half tracker from Maharaj, Jacks stays deep inside the crease and clubs it over deep midwicket for a maximum!

6.3 Keshav Maharaj to Thenuis de Bruyn, on length and outside off, de Bruyn knocks it off to long on for a single

6.2 Keshav Maharaj to Will Jacks, on length and outside off, nudged to square leg for a single, fifty for Jacks!
