21 Jan
Summary
- Bryce Parsons starred with bat and ball to lead Pretoria to the final.
- Parsons scored his first half-century of the season, crucial for victory.
- Pretoria Capitals chased 171 with 1.3 overs to spare for the win.
Pretoria Capitals secured their place in the SA20 Season 4 final following a stellar all-around performance from Bryce Parsons. The young all-rounder played a pivotal role in his team's victory, not only taking three crucial wickets but also scoring his maiden half-century of the season.
Chasing a target of 171 on a challenging Durban track, Parsons, with a brilliant 60, and Dewald Brevis, who remained unbeaten on 75, steered Pretoria Capitals to a memorable win. Their significant partnership decimated the opposition's bowling attack, enabling Pretoria to reach the final with 1.3 overs to spare.
Earlier, Sunrisers Eastern Cape struggled to build momentum after a promising start. Despite a late cameo from James Cole, they posted a modest total. Pretoria's bowlers, particularly Parsons, effectively stifled their batting lineup in the crucial latter overs.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape will have another opportunity to reach the final. They will face the winner of the Eliminator match between Joburg Super Kings and Paarl Royals in Qualifier 2.
