Stay tuned for the presentation.
For Dolphins, except for Zondo and Kerwin Mungroo there were no positives. The former helped them get close to 100 and the latter bagged a three fer. Dolphins will be very disappointed with their performance, they just did not turn up on the big occasion.
Quite an easy win for Titans and they now confirm their spot in the final. This was never in doubt to be honest after they restricted the Dolphins for below 100. They did lose a couple of early wickets but it was just the matter of one good partnership or a good innings and it came from Brevis. He did not go all the way but took his side to the brink of victory. Donavon Ferreira and Sibonelo Makhanya ensured there were no more wickets to fall and took their side over the line.
