All the batsmen chipped in and scored runs but Tony de Zorzi 65 (37) top scored. The other batsmen scored: Rubin Hermann 47* (16), Thomas Kaber 32* (15), Ivan Kriek 35 (32) and Sean Phillips 20 (16) who retired hurt after getting hit by a ball in the back.

Assupol TuksCricket Head Coach, Kruger van Wyk, said, "I'm extremely proud of the team this weekend. It's always great to put up a performance like this at the main venue like SuperSport Park and chasing 200 in a final was indeed a special achievement. We are now looking forward to starting the new NCU Time Cricket competition next week."
