SA20: BONUS POINT WIN TAKES CAPITALS TO SUMMIT

- Wesley Botton

Pretoria Capitals climbed to the top of the SA20 standings last night, romping to a commanding 53-run win over struggling title holders MI Cape Town in Centurion.

Set a target of 186 runs to win, the visitors were restricted to 132/7 by a Capitals attack spearheaded by fast bowler Gideon Peters, who was more expensive than the rest of his teammates but kept the pressure on the opposition batters by taking 3/32 from his four overs.

Top-order batter Reeza Hendricks put up a fight for the Cape Town side, contributing an unbeaten 68 runs off 50 deliveries, but it was not enough as his team fell well short in their chase.
