Presentation
Farhaan Behardien, the Man of the Match says: "The trend has been for the batters to get in and only in the last couple of overs did I capitalise. I spoke to Jacques and we had the full license for the last five overs, luckily it came off today."
Martin van Jaarsveld, the winning Titans Captain says: "It was a clinical performance. At the top Davids and Rudolph laid the platform for us. Behardien was outstanding at the death. With the ball, asked the guys to hit the deck hard and when they do, it is pretty easy to captain."
Gareth Hopkins, the losing Auckland Captain says: "It wasn't a great day with the bat. We were relatively happy with 170, but sad that our batting let us down. We have a chance to make the semis, so we've got to move on pretty quickly from this." |
