Milestone
So, that is it from myself, Karthik Raj and my co-commentators, Aryasekhar Chakraborty and Ajay Ahire. Do switch over to the India vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20I or the PSL final between Multan Sultans and Lahore Qalandars. So, a lot of cricket around currently!
Pieter Malan - I mean it is a fantastic feeling. The support we have got throughout the tournament. Proper team effort, the bowling unit stepped up. All of my performances means nothing if the team doesn't win. Pretty new to the captaincy role. Still a lot of work to do as we didn't play well for the majority of the tournament. So, there is still some work left to be done
Theunis de Bruyn - Firstly, well done to Pieter and his team. He led the team from the front. They didn't really give us a chance. The run-out of Donovan Ferreira was a big moment. Unfortunately, there were some mental errors with the bat. If you look at the whole game, Rocks played the big moments better. Being runners-up is not ideal but there are lessons to be learnt as a team and as individuals.
Manack- I think the nerves was there from the morning. Probably the biggest tournament I have won so far and hopefully many more to come.
WHAT A WIN FOR ROCKS IN THE END!! THEY TAKE THE TITLE WITH A 15-RUN WIN OVER THE TITANS!! The entire Titans squad is running out to the field!! Incredible effort to defend a perhaps below-par 139-run target.
Rocks did get off to a great start to the defense as Imran Manack had Quinton de Kock hole out to long-on. In the very next over, Siyabonga Mahima had Theunis de Bruyn stumped as the Titans lost their opens cheaply.
After a couple of quiet overs, Titans sunk further when Dewald Brevis top-edged an attempted cut shot off Hardus Viljoen to the man at deep third. From there on, the Titans saw a decent partnership built by the duo of Heinrich Klaasen and Sibonelo Makhanya. However, Rocks skipper Pieter Malan brought back Mahima and the move paid rich dividends as the left-arm spinner immediately castled Klaasen. Just when Rocks thought they already got the big fish, Donovan Ferreira came in and produced a few lusty hits to bring down the asking rate.
It took a moment of brilliance from Ferisco Adams to run-out Ferreira in the 15th over as the game changed once again. The Rocks struck back-to-back as Viljoen came up with an unbelievable return catch to send back Makhanya off the very next delivery. Thereafter, the Titans' chase fizzled out as the likes of Ziyaad Abrahams, Imran Manack and Ferisco Adams bowled superbly during the death overs

19.6 F Adams to L Williams
1 A single to end the match. Swung away for a single down the long-on region but that doesn't matter. The Rocks have got over the line by 15 runs.
19.5 F Adams to T Shamsi
1 Shamsi comes down the track and smashes this down the long-on region for a single. Was on a length this time and Shamsi swats that for a single. Just one more ball and the Rocks will be crowned champions.
19.4 F Adams to L Williams
1 A fuller-length slower delivery outside off. Lizard Williams smashes this down the deep cover region by removing his front leg and takes a single.
19.3 F Adams to L Williams
0 Slower length delivery a shade outside off. Lizard Williams swings it across the line. Way too early into the shot and doesn't make any connection.
19.2 F Adams to T Shamsi
1 Short of a length delivery and that is squeezed down the cover-point area for a single.
19.1 F Adams to J Dala
W The Titans are nine down and the Rocks are almost there. Was struck beautifully by Dala this time but the wind doesn't allow it to cross the fence. My first feeling was it was a maximum. Dala gets down the track and whips it away well but couldn't quite find the gap and holes out at deep square leg.

18.6 Z Abrahams to J Dala
1 A brilliant way to end the over. A well-disguised slower delivery and Dala again tries to smash this out of the park. Gets it from the cue end of the bat down the long-off region for a single.
18.5 Z Abrahams to T Shamsi
1 Back of a length delivery a shade outside off. Shamsi again swipes across the line and ends up getting an inside edge onto his pads and a single is taken.
18.4 Z Abrahams to T Shamsi
0 A slower delivery on a length outside off. Shamsi swings across the line blindly and doesn't manage to make contact.
Pressure pressure. Malan drops a sitter here.
