Up goes the trophy in the arms of Aiden Markram, and he hoists it in the air as the crackers go up with it. There was a lot of talk about the tournament as it was about to start and now it has come to an end, giving some new household names and stars to South African cricket. Wide smiles are on the faces of the players and the champagne bottles are sprayed. A night to remember as Season 2 of the SA20 is officially closed!
Aiden Markram, SunRisers Eastern Cape Captain: It is a great feeling. To be in the final is a proud moment and for the guys to turn up and play the way they have is a testament to how we play so credit to them. The competition is tough and in every game, you need to be at your best. You carry the momentum till the end of the tournament but it was a new day today and we did well. The bowlers were the shining lights and the batters too, did the right job when needed. Even the guys who didn't play have helped us throughout. Captaincy was made easy by this group of people, they are fully interested in the best interests of the team.
Now the Sunrisers Eastern Cape collect the winner's medals! Aiden Markram collects the winner's cheque!
Keshav Maharaj, Durban Super Giants Captain: At the start, if you had told us we would have made the final I would have taken It. It was a big turnaround from the last season and we lost to the better team on the day. I thought we gave 20-30 runs more, it was a good wicket and we were confident but we lost wickets at regular intervals. Kudos to the SunRisers. The support staff and team have been very supportive. The captaincy journey has been a pleasant one and it is the team that have made it so. Thank you for all the support, we will hopefully take all of that and build on it in the next season
All the Durban Super Giants players collect their medals now! Keshav Maharaj accepts the runners up cheque!
Heinrich Klaasen is the Player of the Season! Here's what he has to say: Little bit disappointed, but it's not all about winning trophies, seeing my family happy is good tonight. It was a good tournament, our guys played fantastically well, obviously the better team won tonight. Swing has been good in the last couple of years, hopefully it continues and there's a lot of hard work, I trust in my process and abilities. Fantastic tournament, cricket has been incredibly tough, but the coaching, team management support has been really good.
Ottneil Baartman is the Bowler of the Season! Here's what he has to say: It's a great tournament, credit goes to the bowlers, the way they set up the game and bowled well in powerplays. Sometimes it's your day, sometimes it doesn't, but we always to stick to the plan that was discussed and we did that all the time. The message is clear, stick to the processes and do what you need to normally do. Personally, it's a good season, for all of us.
Batter of the Season Award goes to Heinrich Klaasen! He will be speaking later to the commentators later
Rising Star of the Season Award goes to Marco Jansen! Here's what he has to say: I had a nice season this year, but could not do it with the guys. Personal performances can only take you so far but the boys pushed me. They are also awesome bowlers. I knew when I would fail, they were there to fall back on. With the bat, it was if it pays off it does. Once again, could not have done it without the boys and we hope we have a good night
