That's it from the CSA T20 Challenge 2022/23 with the Titans winning it for the seventh time. We hope you have enjoyed the coverage of the CSA T20 final and do join us for more cricketing action tomorrow as the final day of Super 12 clashes comes our way from the T20 World Cup alongside three matches of the Women's Big Bash League 2022. So, loads of things are in store for us on Super Sunday. 

For now, this is me Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my esteemed co-commentator Hitesh Peddurwar, alongside scorer/analyst Raju Khariya. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodnight and CHEERS!  
Makhanya will now go and grab the trophy and the rest of the Titans players can celebrate all into the night as this has been a superb game of cricket. The fireworks go off and so does the champagne. A well deserved win for the team that has been head and shoulders above the rest. 
S Makhanya( Titans Skipper): "Yeah it is a sweet one, It has come after a lot of hard work and failures. It's all about the opportunities as it is a funny game. We can't take anything for granted as we have really worked hard for this. We played very well as a team, yeah Brewis spoiled us with exceptional stuff with the bat." 
Subrayen (Dolphins Skipper): "I think we played well and did not close out the big moments. We have to work on certain areas and come back stronger. The boys will be happy with the effort and loads of positives to take forward. Yes, I can understand that the fans are disappointed, but as we go back we can look back with loads of positives and come back stronger. A good season, but unfortunate to lose today. "
Ferreira( Batter of the match): "I am relieved that it is over, we knew that we need to fight hard and take our team over the line, when the 4 overs were remaining I thought it was the time to take over the bowlers."
JJ Smuts(Bowler of the match): "We came up against a quality team, Titans played very well, we were just short of a few runs, KP had good tournament but was really sad that he got injured."
Time for the post-match presentation ceremony!!!
Titans players are walking around the ground and appreciating the crowd by waving their hands!!!!🙌🙌
Galiem finishes things off in style as Titans win this contest by 4 wickets with 2 balls to spare in a superb game of cricket we have had here. It's their 7th CSA T20 title as they have been heads and shoulders above the rest of the teams in the competition. A superb game is what we have had and heartbreak for the Dolphins as they are crestfallen here.  

Chasing a stiff target of 163 for the win, the Titans lost their form batter Dewald Brevis early for 2 runs. Jiveshan Pillay also went for 18 off 20 balls. Theunis de Bruyn was fantastic while he was there as he changed the momentum with his 32 off 19 balls. Skipper Makhanya scored 13 off 9 balls. Neil Brand chipped in with 18 off 19 balls. But it was Galiem's unbeaten 32* off 22 balls and the finisher Donavon Ferreira's 40 off 25 balls that aced the chase as the Titans got home with 2 balls in hand and won by 5 wickets with 10 extras given by the Dolphins bowlers. 

From the Dolphins' point of view, a couple of wickets for Daryl Dupavillon and a couple of wickets for JJ Smuts. Skipper Prenelan Subrayen chipped in with a wicket as well. They tried their best with the ball and kept things under check, but it was not to be. 

Earlier in the game, Titans lost their form batter Roelofsen for a golden duck on the first ball of the final to Gqamane. Thereafter, it was the Keegan Petersen-JJ Smuts show as the duo put on 115 for the second wicket. Petersen scored 63 off 51 balls while JJ Smuts top-scored with 69 off 50 balls. They lost their way a bit in the middle, but it was John Smith’s cameo of 21* off 7 balls including 20 off the last over bowled by Junior Dala that propelled the score to 162/3 in 20 overs with just one extra given by the Titans bowlers.

A wicket apiece for Gqamane, Neil Brand, and Galiem. Aaron Phangiso despite being wicketless, gave away only 23 runs in 4 overs. They were good in phases, but they did well to keep the score to 162. Harmer and Brevis were taken to the cleaners in their only over they bowled each while Dala went for 45 in 4 overs since he was taken for 20 in his final over.

So, a win for Titans by 5 wickets with 2 balls to spare to win their 7th CSA T20 Challenge 2022/23. Stay tuned for the post-match presentation ceremony that comes your way soon.
