Rilee Rossouw played pivotal roles with both bat and ball to help the Pretoria Capitals secure a berth in the final of the Betway SA20 on Wednesday night.
The Royals’ bowlers had quickly cottoned on to the fact that pace on the ball was beneficial to the batters, and all of the seamers bowled cutters hard into the surface to cramp the Capitals, while also forcing them to create their own pace.
While Paul Stirling engaged in a thrilling single over battle with Nortje and his high pace — carving a couple of fours and smashing a terrific six over long on — the Royals could never sink their teeth properly into the chase. It was a mad over in which he dismissed Morgan, then had a decision for lbw go against him and then, so high on adrenaline was he, that he ripped an off-break across the right handed Evan Jones as if he were Ravi Ashwin, which was called a wide.
