How crucial were those runs from Wiaan Mulder towards the back end of the Durban innings. He played superbly to get his team to a total of 157, which proved to be more than enough on that pitch. DSG bowlers were brilliant as well. But did MI Cape Town make another blunder at the toss? They need to get their act together quickly with more than half the tournament done. So that's all from us here. Until next time, it's goodbye.
Linde, POTM: Obviously disappointing. Don't think I deserve this. Their bowlers deserve it more than me. I know my strengths. It's my home ground here. We've got match-winners in the squad. Unfortunately it was one of those things tonight. We still believe we can get to the playoffs.
Maharaj: Win was much needed. Were in some trouble with the bat but Breetzke and Wiaan helped us get to the total. Our execution lacked towards the back end in the last game. Today we were more clinical. Conditions were tricky for batting so we tried to utilise that. Been good to see the maturity he has shown (Breetzke). Wasn't an easy wicket. He dug in, allowed Mulder to play the innings later. We knew what he's about. Found his rhythm in this game. He's a great guy. Nice to bounce back after two losses. Bonus point is even more special.
Pollard: They've been painful losses, but don't want to use pitches as excuse. Middle order needs to be better. 157, any given match, we should've been on the winning side. Thought is always there (of using Livingstone, Brevis with ball). Having said that, 157 on a track like this, with a batting line-up we have - that's the only thing we need to look at. As professional cricketers, we have a job to do. Have to look at ourselves in the middle and lower order. The way George and Kaber bowled are the positives. Could've been better at the death.
