Presentation
Faf du Plessis, Man of the Match and Rocks captain: Very tired, a lot of twos there and the odd boundary in between. The new ball skids on more, and the real game starts after six overs and the difference came in the rotation of the strike. The table is very close together. Every game you get, you have to make the most of it.
Albie Morkel, Heat captain: It's a common trend for us. After a start, we lose wickets. Paarl 165 is par and Faf paced his innings well. It was tough to stop those twos like he said. We're doing right things off the field but it's not happening for us on the field. Rashid is a world-class spinner. It will be awesome to play alongside him and hopefully he gives the extra edge for us.
Thanks for reading. Goodbye for now. Shashank will be with you for the second match of the day. Cheers
