Milestone
So that marks the end of our coverage from the final group stage game of this edition's SA20. For now, this is Saptak Sanyal signing off on the behalf of our scorer/analyst Yogesh Kumar. Good night.
Patrick Kruger (Player of the Match)- "I just tried to keep calm and backed my abilities and then I was lucky enough that the things were good for me. I just had some personal issues and I worked a lot with my coaches and worked to enhance my game finishing abilities. I didn't have a big game plan, just went there and hit the balls. I am excited for the play-offs."
Player of the Match- Patrick Kruger
Aiden Markram (Sunrisers Eastern Cape Captain)- "Not 100% sure about the reason of our consistency but I can say that we have executed well in the correct and crucial places. The game was moving away and we tried to take the game deep as far as we can and sometimes it is not the most exciting brand of cricket but we have to do it to get the things going. A big game is coming up and it is fantastic to appear in the play-off against a great team. I appreciate the noise and the support of the crowd."
David Miller (Paarl Royals Captain)- "We have lost a few games but I think it is a great game for us. Obviously there are places where we can do well. We have a lot of young seamers and they have bowled in right areas. I am very happy with their performance. I think doing the right thing at the right places will be the key for the knockouts. I think we have to stay in the game as long as we can and we should regroup and think of our weak points."
Time for the post match presentations.
23:05 IST and 19:35 Local Time | The Men-in-Orange are going to appear for the qualifier 1 with a convincing victory. They will have some confidence from this win.

19.5 N Peter to P Kruger
6 SIXXXXX!!!! What a way to seal the game! The Sunrisers Eastern Cape have won the game by 5 wickets and a ball remaining! Full length delivery at the off stump. Kruger stays leg side of the ball and tonks it straight over long off for a maximum. YOU BEAUTY PATRICK KRUGER!
19.4 N Peter to P Kruger
4 SCORES ARE LEVELLED!!!!! Peter bowls a full length delivery at the middle stump. Kruger hits it straight over the bowler's head and successfully pierces the gap of long off and long on to get a boundary.
19.3 N Peter to P Kruger
2 Couple from Kruger. Peter airs it up at the middle stump. Kruger hits it to deep midwicket and the fielder fumbles there and the batters takes the advantage and completes the couple.
19.2 N Peter to L Dawson
1 Here comes the crucial single!! Length delivery at the off stump. Dawson hits it to Vilas at long on for a single
Liam Dawson joins Kruger in the crease.
19.1 N Peter to T Bavuma
W WICKET!! The game is swinging like a pendulum now. But the good thing for SEC is that there is still someone named Patrick Kruger! Peter tosses it up at the off and middle. Bavuma tries to go over long on but hits it straight to Vilas there, who runs a bit to his left and completes the catch.
8 needed from the final over and Nqaba Peter to bowl the crucial over. David Miller is sharing some advice with him.
