Overview
- Pretoria Capitals posted 158-7 as Dewald Brevis hit 101 off 56, but Sunrisers reached 162-4 in 19.2 overs through unbeaten knocks from Matthew Breetzke (68*) and captain Tristan Stubbs (62*).
- Brevis earned Player of the Match honors for his century, yet only two Capitals teammates reached double figures, leaving a competitive total short of match-winning.
- Marco Jansen swung the innings with 3-10, delivering a double-wicket maiden in the 19th over before Pretoria scraped only three runs across the final two overs with Anrich Nortje closing tightly.
- Chasing from 48-4, Breetzke and Stubbs added an unbroken 114 for the fifth wicket, and Stubbs sealed the result with consecutive sixes in the final over.
- Sunrisers have now appeared in all four SA20 finals and won three, while first-season coach Sourav Ganguly’s Capitals fell just short in their second title clash against the Eastern Cape side.
