Bryce Parsons, Player of the Match: I feel really good. I needed it and to perform on a day like this means a lot. I just work hard in the nets. I've always been in and out of the team, so it's always about being ready. Luckily, I've played a lot of cricket here. It's nice to come home and bat on a wicket where I'm quite accustomed to. I thought I knew what I was getting myself into. I mean, Dewald makes batting look easy - play as few dot balls as possible - and we knew nine or ten an over was going to be easy if we stayed around. Always considered myself as an all-rounder. I mean, if Lungi didn't get injured, I wouldn't have bowled (hoping to bowl in the final)

It turned into a cakewalk towards the end. Sunrisers got a decent total on the pitch and made some recovery after sedate middle overs but 170 didn't prove to be an imposing score on a surface that offered good value for shots. Bryce Parsons backed up his superb bowling performance with the bat as well, scoring a pivotal half-century to break the back of the chase. The night also belonged to Dewald Brevis, who remained unbeaten on 75, consuming just 38 deliveries and delivering the sucker punch towards the end. He hit four fours and seven sixes, striking at an astonishing 197.36 and ensuring there were no hiccups. The bowling from Sunrisers wasn't incisive enough and they looked a bit off-colour as a unit. Stubbs could have marshalled his troops better and tried to use his ace bowlers to break partnerships. Jansen was somewhat economical but wicketless, Nortje didn't make many inroads and the others leaked plenty. It was certainly not a 170 pitch. Sunrisers will get another opportunity but will need significant improvement if they are to make it to their fourth final

Mic Roch: "Great catch for the second six in the last over - definitely saw shades of Gayle there"

Lassana Puka: "Parson's wicket would've set us up for a nervy finish.. if only Brevis wasn't around!"

Mathi: "Dewald Brevis has matured a lot, he is now building the innings and hits the ball whenever needed the most...."

Gaeb Onners: "Brevis looks uncharacteristically assured these last few games. Bodes well for SA in the upcoming world cup."

Gregory to Brevis, SIX, Hefty blow! Such a clean striker of the ball! Seals the deal with a fantastic pull shot, he is such a joy to watch when on song! Gets a slow back of a length ball outside off, picks it up and hits it with aplomb over square leg for a six. Pretoria Capitals are into the final!

Gregory to Brevis, SIX, Shades of Gayle in that shot! It's like a method actor, hits the low full-toss on middle leisurely over cow corner for a six, immaculate timing and placement!
