Pretoria Capitals ran riot at Kingsmead on Friday night as they defeated Durban’s Super Giants by eight wickets to earn a bonus point victory.<\/p>\n
Quinton de Kock won the toss for the Super Giants and chose to bat first at a humid Kingsmead, but things did not go according to the plan for the home team.<\/p>\n
Capitals skipper Wayne Parnell wasted no time as to draw first blood with the opening ball of the innings to dismiss West Indies’ Kayle Mayers for a duck.<\/p>\n
The home side’s wall continued to collapse when Wiaan Mulder (5) and De Kock (13) followed Mayers shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n
The tournament’s leading run-scorer Heinrich Klaasen tried valiantly to keep his team afloat with 31 off 24 balls, but had no support with Player of the Match Senuran Muthusamy’s 3\/12, Anrich Nortje (2\/15) and Eathan Bosch (2\/10) following their skipper Wayne Parnell’s (2\/12) lead.<\/p>\n
The Super Giants folded for just 80 in 18.1 overs.<\/p>\n
The visitors’ chase was dented by the early loss of the in-form Phil Salt first ball, but his fellow Englishman Will Jacks steered the Capitals ship with a rapid 56 off just 25 balls (5×4, 4×6).<\/p>\n
He was supported by Theunis de Bruyn with his undefeated 21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
