That game will begin at 4.30 pm IST (11 am GMT) on Sunday, February 27. It promises to be a cracker of a final. As you know our coverage will start well in advance. So do join us for the same. Till then, goodbye and cheers!
Pieter Malan, the skipper of Rocks is the BATTER OF THE MATCH. He says that all the bowlers bowled well and all the credit goes to the bowlers. Tells that the key thing was that one of the opening batters batted 12 overs and they did that. He adds that he is little disappoited to not finish off the chase himself but says he is very happy with the performance. He recokns that Rocks are underdogs going into the final and they are happy with that tag.
Ziyaad Abrahams is the BOWLER OF THE MATCH. He says that he is enjoying playing there and was a bit unlucky to not get a hat-trick but says that it is a part and parcel of the game. He adds that he is looking forward to doing well in the final.
Stay tuned for the presentation.
The bowling can’t be blamed! They just did not have enough runs on the board. Western Province needed wickets at the start but got none. To be honest, Province were quite under par today, first with the bat and then with the ball.
The Rocks have cruised into the finals! We expected them to chase this small score down and they have done it with ease. It is their openers who set things up with a 100-plus stand with the skipper scoring a half century. There were a few wickets which fell quickly in the latter part of their innings but the cool heads of Adams and Clyde Fortuin has taken them over the line.
