Post-Match Presentation Team Captions
Paarl Royals winning captain: captain and Player of the Match:
It was a little bit challenging. I tried to sum up the wind. It was a lot easier trying to hit in the direction of the spin. Little bit slow. We bowled really well and put them under pressure. They bowled well in the middle overs.
Good win for us, great performance from the boys. To have a world class player like him Buttler, he’s played all around the world, he’s being the rock upfront. He batted fantastically again. This competition is wide open. It’s tough with really good teams. The fans have been outstanding, it’s a great tournament, long may it last.
Aiden Markram Sunrisers Eastern Cape captain losing Tame:
Happy with how the boys showed fight. We were a few runs short. Good game at the end of the day. The guys must enjoy some time off now, it’s been a busy tournament. It’s about regrouping a couple of days before our next game. The crowd here has been awesome. They have backed us a lot, almost like our 12th player. It’s great for the local players to get the exposure. Rubbing shoulders with legends bodes well for them.
