We made it tough for ourselves out there, but we always said it wasn\u2019t going to be easy.<\/p>\n \u201cWe wanted to stay on that cone and keep things tight. I don\u2019t think their batters were able to really get going, which made our job a bit easier. Credit must go to the bowlers today, they were outstanding.\u201d<\/p>\n While not among the wickets in the final, Jones praised Nosipho Vezi for her consistency throughout the competition, highlighting the depth and collective effort that powered Western Province to another title.<\/p>\n \u201cVezi didn\u2019t get wickets today, but she has been exceptional throughout the series. She\u2019s someone who hits her areas over and over again, and having a bowler like that in the team is invaluable,\u201d said Jones.<\/p>\n Hollywoodbets Pro20 Final Awards:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Upcoming Hollywoodbets Pro Series Final Fixtures:<\/strong><\/p>\n Sunday, 15 March 2026 | 10h00 \u2013 Hollywoodbets Pro50<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
