Heinrich Klaasen (Seattle Orcas Captain): "Hard to explain to be fair. I thought our bowlers bowled well tonight. We were happy with the score they put up on the board. Then our batting was a different story. It is hard to explain the batting.
We needed to bowl first, and that was a great start. Like I said, we bowled extremely well. We were better in the powerplay than in the last game. Batting was hard to explain. Actually, I already asked the question on how to address this in the batting meeting.
It is one such night that we have to dig deeper and improve upon. Start fresh. It is the easiest to do the job. We have 8 more games. You need to win at least 6 to make it to the playoffs. We will see one game at a time. We have a couple of days now. Shimron Hetmyer is coming as well. We need to start clean, and we’ve got an opportunity to turn it around."

Faf du Plessis (Texas Super Kings Captain): "Yeah, look, I never thought it would be 60 all-out. Having seen the evening matches here, the second innings does a little bit more with the ball. It is about getting through the powerplay and if you manage to do that, you give yourself a chance. It was either you were getting smashed in the first 6 overs or getting a few wickets. Credit to our bowlers.
Very good from Burger. That is a nice luxury we have. Obviously, Adam Milne has been bowling unbelievably well. I think any fast bowler will love to take this wicket and put it in their kit bag and travel around the world. We just thought to give Nandre a go. He bowled beautifully.
Right at this moment, Noor Ahmad is the best in the world. Also, guys like Narine are fantastic. For me, the thing that separates them is that with Narine, it is difficult to hit; he runs away with 4 overs for 16 odd, and it is difficult to hit him. With Noor, you have the ability to take wickets at any stage of the game. His wicket-taking ability puts him at number 1, at least for me.
Really good young player. Just showing the ability to bat on these wickets and being scratchy. Get some runs, get to a good total. Zia has been good with the ball. So, a couple of unlucky guys haven't managed to get in. Mohammad Mohsin has been good as well. We have to park in this pitch and move to Dallas, where the rest of the guys might come in picture."

That is it from this one-sided fixture. Texas Super Kings hammer Seattle Orcas by a huge margin and make it three wins in as many matches, staying just behind San Francisco Unicorns on the points table in second place. Seattle have plenty to ponder and need to do something quickly in this fast-paced league.
