Parthiv Patel (Cape Town Samp Army Captain): "I think it was brilliant today. I thought we had a decent score on this pitch as it's not the easiest wicket to bat on. Once we got 112 runs we knew we are gonna win the game, but yeah, good to finish the game we have 2 points on the table. I think we wanted to keep it simple, we stuck to our plan and executed the plan well. The intensity in this game is massive and the margin for error is really low in this format so we have to be on our toes at all times."
