Match Centre

10:35pm And that is all from our coverage tonight. Good night!

Behardien: I think QDK's back's a bit sore carrying the team. We didn't play well as a team. We're pleased with the win. We were under pressure. AB said he had a debacle - but so did we. That bonus point win gives us confidence, we have three home games coming.

AB de Villiers: We had opportunities throughout the night with the ball. With the bat it was a debacle, to say the least. We haven't hit our straps yet. I think we need to win four and four. Well done to Quinton, it was a great innings. It's great for South African cricket, the two centuries have come from young batsmen in form. It shows a lot of depth in South African cricket.

QDK: I was pretty calm. We bat quite deep, so just knew with them coming we could get a big score. It wasn't easy to bat. they bowled really well up front. All we had to do was find a way to put pressure on them. It was just our day. We had a disappointing game last time, but the boys were fired up today.

Quinton de Kock is the Man of the Match.

10:21pm A bonus point for the table toppers. What a turnaround for them today. Showing why they're at the top, to be honest. The match seemed to really run away from them halfway through their innings, before a QDK special. He was one of only three batsmen who made 30+ on this pitch, and to make that a hundred, striking at nearly 200 was just sensational. the Spartans' chase just didn't take off, and Nawaz in particular was superb. There was a lot of edging and missing and even AB de Villiers couldn't quite gauge the surface.
