Pretoria Capitals hold the winning hand

Whichever team they face on Sunday, will have to deal with not only a confident PC outfit but also the looming threat of physical fatigue.Ultimately, PC's seven-wicket victory over Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) in Qualifier 1 earlier this week boiled down to patience. There was a point in the game where it looked as though SEC were going to set a target in excess of 190 runs — a total that would have almost certainly taken the match away from the Capitals.
