Full commentary

Well, that's it from us today, on a day Pretoria Capitals cruised to a huge win over Durban Super Giants, and picked up a bonus point along the way. See you again tomorrow!

"It worked out nicely," says a beaming Wayne Parnell, with a considerable degree of understatement. "It is difficult adjusting to the new surface, but we've got plenty of expeirence, both local and international. It's about sharing informationa nd trying to execute. For us it's about backing everyone, playing a positive brand of cricket and entertaining people."

Senuran Muthusamy is the Player of the Match. "Just really grateful it came off for me," he says. "These conditions allowed for an extra spinner which opened up an opportunity for me. The surface was a bit two-paced. I don't think it was an 80-all out wicket, more of a 130-140 wicket."

"Bad execution with the bat," says Quinton de Kock. "We just weren't good enough. It's not a game we should dwell too much on. We're going to need to look past this and carry on."

PC gone mad, is all I can say after this game tonight. A sensational bowling performance and absolutely no mucking about with the bat at all. Kyle Mayers bowled an eventful first over but that's about as good as it got for the poor Super Giants, who found themselves cut down to size today.

AdiCan: "As a non-South African, I can confirm that this league has me hooked just like IPL. I will be following this regularly. On the same note, I love this bonus point concept. Wish IPL brings it in from this year as well."

Maharaj to Jacks, OUT

it was there for the finishing, but Jacks holes out this time to cow corner. Another one short of a length, but Jacks didn't middle one for once. Departs, but not before he's single-handedly made a mockery of this chase

With that sort of rampage, let's welcome Danyal back!
