SA20: Pretoria Capitals stay alive in race to playoffs with big win over Joburg Super Kings

Pretoria Capitals are still in the race to the playoffs in SA20, thanks to their dominating bonus-point win over Joburg Super Kings (JSK) on Tuesday, which was set up by their bowlers.
Pretoria restricted JSK to a mere 99 for 9 as right-arm pacer Migael Pretorius led the bowling charts with figures of 3 for 22, while pacer Gideon Peters (2 for 15) and left-arm spinner Senuran Muthusamy (2 for 15) took two wickets each.

England veteran Jonny Bairstow was the top-scorer for JSK with his 30 off 32 balls, and the next best were skipper Faf du Plessis and Donovan Ferreira with 14 each.
Pretoria reached the target with ease in just 12 overs for a six-wicket win, led by Marques Ackerman’s 39, and are now at number five on the points table, while JSK are at number four.
JSK’s Lutho Sipamla was once again among the wickets with his spell of 3 for 26, as the Pretoria chase didn’t begin on a promising note. They were 51 for 3 in Powerplay, losing the wickets of Will Jacks (15), Will Smeed (7) and captain Kyle Verreynne (17).
However, JSK didn’t have enough runs on the board to defend in the end.
The top four teams qualify for the playoffs.
