The Pretoria Capitals kept their playoff hopes alive with a bonus point win over the Joburg Super Kings. The Capitals restricted the Super Kings to 99/9 and chased down the target in just 12 overs, earning a crucial bonus point.

In reply, the Capitals lost three wickets inside the PowerPlay but got the scorecard moving swiftly, reaching more than half their target in the first six overs. Marques Ackerman showed urgency, scoring 39 off 22 balls to take his side to 89/3 at the halfway stage.

The Super Kings' Lutho Sipamla picked up three wickets, but it was not enough to stop the Capitals from reaching their target. The remaining 11 runs were polished off by the end of the 12th over, securing a crucial win for the Capitals.
