SEC vs PC

9:27 PM local time (12:57 AM IST): So, that is all from Qualifier 1! Congratulations to Pretoria Capitals for reaching the Final! Now, the action moves to SuperSport Park, Centurion, for the Eliminator between Paarl Royals and Joburg Super Kings, tomorrow, from 5:30 PM local time (9:00 PM IST). Do join us for that one, friends. This is Bidipto taking your leave for now. Keep following Sportskeeda! 

Bryce Parsons (Player of the Match, 3/10 off 3 overs and 60 off 44 balls): "Really good! I needed that. Haven't got the performances I wanted, so, this one means a lot! Working hard in the nets is important, and, I've been in and out of the team, so, I was ready for this chance. I've played a lot of cricket here, so, coming back home and batting on Kingsmead was great. Batting with Dewald Brevis makes things easier with him scoring those boundaries. I'm always an all-rounder, if Lungi (Lungisani Ngidi) hadn't got injured, maybe I wouldn't get a bowl. But, happy to contribute." 

Keshav Maharaj (Pretoria Capitals captain): "I couldn't have asked for a more clinical performance! We got the job done on a pretty tricky wicket! We bowled well up front, and finished it well too. Bryce had a tremendous outing! I was always thinking about bringing Bryce on, and what a special performance in both facets of the game! Lungi is one of our leading bowlers, so, we weren't going to risk him. Now, he should be fresh for the final. We always knew what a lot of these guys are capable of, and they are proving the decisions right!" 

Tristan Stubbs (Sunrisers Eastern Cape captain): "We lost momentum in that batting innings. Lost a couple of wickets in the middle and lost momentum towards the end though. I think Brev (Dewald Brevis) and (Bryce) Parsons played really well! We couldn't get the partnerships going, if you get set on this wicket and keep going, it gets easy to score. We tried our best with the ball, but, came short. I don't think there's anything needed to be said to the boys, they will be motivated for the next game, surely!" 

9:07 PM local time (12:37 AM IST): Pretoria Capitals win by 7 wickets with 9 balls to spare! They qualify directly for the SA20, season 4, Final!

Dewald Brevis 75* (38) | Bryce Parsons - 3/10 (3)
Jonny Bairstow 50 (36) | Anrich Nortje - 1/33 (4)

Two good partnerships - one of 46 runs for the 2nd wicket and the other of 91 runs for the 3rd wicket - sealed the deal for Pretoria Capitals! In both of those, Bryce Parsons played important roles! 

First, with Connor Esterhuizen, he helped the Capitals steady the ship after the fall of Shai Hope's wicket. Then, with Dewald Brevis, helped the team blaze through, almost to the finish line! 

Being the glue, Parsons scored an impressive half-century and completed what was a tremendous game for him! And Brevis was simply himself, allowing himself just that bit more time to get used to the pace of the surface, before unleashing himself on the bowling! The right-hander remained unbeaten with a superlative half-century, scoring the winnings runs with a maximum! 

Sunrisers Eastern Cape tried their best, threw everything at the batters, but failed to do more than picking up 3 wickets. So, they go to Johannesburg now for Qualifier 2. 

Pretoria Capitals go straight to the Final on Sunday, in Cape Town! 

18.3 Lewis Gregory to Dewald Brevis, SIX TO FINISH THE MATCH! PRETORIA CAPITALS ARE OUR FIRST FINALISTS! Back of a length on off-and-middle. Brevis got on to the back foot and hammered it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum! Sunrisers Eastern Cape now move to Qualifier 2 for their second chance. 

18.2 Lewis Gregory to Dewald Brevis, SIX MORE! Full toss on off-and-middle. Brevis gets in line and plays the no-look stroke, powerfully, over wide long-on, for a biggie! 

18.2 Lewis Gregory to Dewald Brevis, WIDE! Full and well away from the tramline outside off. Brevis had nothing to do with that, he left it alone. 

18.1 Lewis Gregory to Dewald Brevis, SIX RUNS! Low full toss on off-stump and just outside. Brevis managed to get under it with the bend of the back knee and hoisted it over long-on for a maximum! 

17.6 Anrich Nortje to Sherfane Rutherford, really full on off-stump and just outside. Pushed off the front foot to the man at cover. Dot ball. 

17.6 Anrich Nortje to Sherfane Rutherford, WIDE! Full, but down the leg-side on this occasion. Rutherford tried to tickle it fine but could not quite. 

17.5 Anrich Nortje to Bryce Parsons, over the wicket, AND BOWLED HIM! Pitched up and straight. You miss, I hit! Parsons went across his stumps to try and play it to fine-leg, but, got beaten. After that, it was only the sound of timber that got heard! 

17.4 Anrich Nortje to Dewald Brevis, full on off-and-middle at 143 kph. Heaved from the crease, away to deep mid-wicket, off the thick inside half of the bat, for a single. 

17.2 Anrich Nortje to Dewald Brevis, pitched right up on middle-stump now at 142 kph. Brevis drills it out of the block hole and knocks it back to the bowler.

17.1 Anrich Nortje to Dewald Brevis, FOUR RUNS! Short and wide outside off-stump. Slapped away off the back foot, well over extra cover, for a one-bounce boundary!
