SA20, Match 18th, 2025: DSG vs PR: Captains’ Corner
Going really well. chuffed and pleased with the results. They came hard at us (in the powerplay), we pulled it back really well. Really nice performance with the ball. Malinga came in and pulled it back – 20 from his first over and then three phenomenal overs on the trot (at the death). Nice to have someone like him (to be there at the death). (On the middle order scoring runs) It is great. With the great starts we have had…one of them has performed if the other hasn’t. Tonight showed we have depth (in our batting) and closing out the game the way we did. Really pleased with Mitch (van Buuren) and Rubin (Hermann) came out guns blazing, playing the way he does.

We were maybe 15-20 runs shy on a wicket like this. We lost our way a little bit. They bowled well, their plans were good. We gave away too many boundaries in the powerplay and could not get back (in the game). We did not take too much pace off the ball, especially in the powerplay. In hindsight, it is hard to say but now, it is about getting results in our favour and anything can happen (after that). Quinny doing what he does at the top. We know he (Klaasen) is due, hopefully he gets three big performances (in the games that remain). Just to the fans, thanks for all the loyalty.
