That's it from this game for the SA20. We have another one starting in a short while. Hop tabs to catch that. For now it's bye bye from everyone here.
Aiden Markram | Sunrisers Eastern Cape captain: Probably get a score on the board. Started really well, got to 50 in the powerplay with two poles down, nice positive there. Then stumbled and a nice over from Stubbsy to get us to a score. We haven't hit our straps yet as a batting unit, experimented with a different combination in Cape Town, which meant we played only 5 batters. [on Hermann] An opportunity for him at 3 today, he has been working hard to turn things around. Really chuffed for him and it was great for him to score runs. [on the playoffs] We will have to see how the wicket will play, last game it was an absolute belter, whichever person we turn to, the boys have been really good for us. We will let them keep doing their thing and as a batting group take it a notch and help them. [on the PE crowd] We are glad we could put on a good show and we look forward to seeing you again.
Bjorn Fortuin | Paarl Royals captain: We just thought it would be fair to give other guys an opportunity and also we felt we may play 2 games ahead of the playoffs, so wanted to give the other guys a go. From what I know, Miller should be in the camp tomorrow. We were quite good for most of it, if not for all of it, we were quite pleased with the score on the board but unfortunately we couldn't chase it. It's always tough to lose early wickets, having said that, somebody has to take responsibility. As a group we will take it on the chin and we will have a fair few reflections and try and come back stronger. [on the PE crowd] Hopefully they will be wearing pink and not orange on Tuesday.
Jordan Hermann | Player of the Match: It's a pretty dark space early on, feels great that I'm contributing to the team. Domestically I was doing well and it feels nice to contribute to the team's win. Lot of changes going around, venue-specific changes as well, knew if I got a chance had to make it count, glad I got a chance and did well. It's the best crowd in the country by far, if not in the world by my knowledge.
16:23 Local Time, 14:23 GMT, 19:53 IST: Fine win for SEC ahead of the playoffs. They will go into the Eliminator against JSK full of confidence. It was the Craig Overton and Marco Jansen show at the top as they reduced Paarl to 22/5 inside the fourth over.
