Pieter Malan | Captain of Rocks and Batter of the match: " Yeah, That's all about the bowlers today. They came to the party today. There was no weak link there. Because of them we are here. Yeah, it happens sometimes. We were on top at the 12th over mark. Luckily those three wickets didn't hamper us. We batted well and chased it down in the end. We are comfortable with that tag and all the pressure is on them I guess."
Ziyaad Abrahams, Bowler of the match: "Us guys who play FIFA, so the celebration stems from there. I just want to give a shout out to the fans over there, my family, and thanks for the support. Looking forward to the match on Sunday!"
Time for the post match presentation.
The Rocks will be meeting the Titans in the Final of this year's CSA T20 competition. They beat the Western Province with a huge margin of 7 wickets and 11 balls to spare. It was a clinical performance from the Rocks in all three departments that kept them in firm control of the game throughout the 40 overs. First with the ball and now while chasing they were absolutely incredible and rightly so the deserving team is going to the finale.
Chasing 119, The Rocks got off to a perfect start as both the openers Janneman Malan and Peter Malan kept the scoreboard ticking and batted sensibly throughout their stay. They scored quickfire runs in the powerplay and made sure that they didn't lose a wicket in that period. They have gone on to put the 100 runs partnership for the first wicket and led the solid foundation for the relatively simple chase.
Peter Malan was the first one to depart who scored run a ball 57. His partner and younger brother Janneman Malan were also brilliant for his 39 from 35 balls. Both the openers were dismissed in the space of two overs. Clyde Fortuin in at number 3 score the crucial 11 runs off 8 balls when they lost the three wickets in no time. Mgijima picked up a couple of wickets for the Western but that wasn't enough for them to stop the Rocks from getting that total.
Earlier in the evening, it was a fine piece of bowling effort from the Rocks that they stopped the Western on the relatively low score of 121. Abrahams was the pick of the bowler as he picked up 4 wickets in his 4 overs spell. Mahima and Von Berg both of them picked a couple of wickets to break the middle order of the Western.
