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.
