The Pretoria Capitals were relieved to avoid an extra play-off, according to middle-order batter Dewald Brevis, after they qualified for the SA20 final with a seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Eastern Cape in Durban on Wednesday night.
Set a target of 171 runs to win in their qualifier match, the Pretoria side reached 172/3 with nine balls to spare to book their place in the trophy decider, with Brevis bashing 75 runs off just 38 balls and sharing a match-winning 91-run stand with Bryce Parsons 60 off 44 for the third wicket.
While the Capitals progressed to the final in Cape Town on Sunday, the Sunrisers were set to turn out in another qualifier play-off against either the Paarl Royals or the Joburg Super Kings at the Wanderers on Friday 5.30pm start.
