Bjorn Fortuin (Lions Skipper) - "Pretty happy with the performance of what we did today. Still there are a couple of few aspects we want to improve on before that game (the final). Very happy with the way we went with the bat tonight and hopefully we can continue that in the final. (On the toss) I dont think toss was a big factor in this game especially during the summer season, during the winters it becomes important.
We have had our bowlers standing up on difficult occasions and delivering, pretty happy with that and lets hope we can continue that in the final".

Neil Brand (Titans Skipper)- "We were probably 40-50 runs short and when the dew came, we were outplayed. We lost a few wickets in the middle overs and that's where the game slipped from us. We were doing well but once the break set in, we lost our rhythm. Their bowlers did really well and credit goes to Ryan(Ryan Rickelton) and Rassie(Rassie van der Dussen) for the way they have batted.
We have a lost of positive takeaways from this tournament."
