Temba Bavuma, Highveld Lions skipper, says that he is happy with the team's performance. Credits the bowlers for doing well to defend this total. Mentions the bowlers kept it tight. Ends by saying they will look to continue the momentum from here on and do better.
Rassie van der Dussen is the Batsman of the Match. He says that he enjoyed his batting. Mentions he looked to attack the bowlers and it worked for him. Further says that it was difficult to target Chris Morris but they did well to execute the plans.
Beuran Hendricks is the Bowler of the Match. He starts by saying that he is happy with his performance. Adds that he looked to keep it tight and it paid off for him.
The bowling was excellent, they had runs to defend and they did it brilliantly! Bjorn Fortuin, Hendricks and Pretorius were the stars. They picked two each. Rabada and Magala did their job too. Overall, it was a complete performance from the Lions.
A very comfortable win in the end for the Lions! To be very honest, 131 in 15 overs, in this wicket, against the bowling attack Lions have was always going to be tough. They needed to get off to a good start but that was not the case. They lost Davids early and then kept losing wickets at regular basis! None of their top players managed to contribute and against such a bowling side, you need them to fire.
