Faf du Plessis, Texas Super Kings Captain: It's tricky because obviously we're playing on different surfaces, so if you look at the night games so far, the wicket has been a little bit more uneven contest. Yes, it does get on a little bit more towards the night, but definitely today we felt it was a little bit slower in the first innings. But once again, you've got to just make sure you communicate really well out there. I thought we were close in that middle period when Riley was batting with Mulder there. You could tell that the partnership was getting close to getting us in a position to score 170, 175, and then it's a good score. Yeah, I think today was just a point of being more clinical with the bat. It's always a case of when someone gets in, how does he make that contribution bigger? Thirties are generally not going to get you across the line. So even on a surface like that, we had the opportunity today for the batters. One guy just kept going and got 70-plus

Texas Super Kings were short of a competitive score and needed someone to go big, but nobody could carry through to the end. A late onslaught, along with absence of a fiery powerplay, meant their bowlers had a tough task on their hands. Peter Siddle picked up three crucial wickets and Matthew Short bowled a very economical spell. Ghulam Mudassar was superb with the new ball, while Hassan Khan also kept it tight, so the bowlers produced a very disciplined performance. Thereon, Lhuan-dre Pretorius anchored the chase and remained unbeaten on 69. Such class at a young age; he has a great head on his shoulders and is a delight to watch, with shots all around the park. It was a pitch-perfect knock. Matthew Short and Connor Esterhuizen added vital contributions, and then Sanjay Krishnamurthi played the situation judiciously as the team won comfortably with 2.1 overs to spare.
