Smuts, Player of the Match: I thought we lost some momentum towards the end and they (Belfast Wolves) strangled us. Luckily, our skipper did it (finished the innings). It (The message) has come from the head coach. Myself and Ross (Adair) give it a good whack upfront. We kind of kept the momentum going. We probably wanted 200, but they bowled well at the back end. It's just see ball, hit ball to be honest.
Santner, Castle Rockers captain: I think we were reasonably happy with the total. Best pitch we have played on so far. It was nice to get another win. I think it's probably the best pitch we've seen so far and guys are hitting their stride. Not a lot of spin, not ideal, but JJ batted unbelievably and had partnerships. There will be a few beers and different guys stepping up at different times.Â
Maxwell, Belfast Wolves captain: We actually felt like (Edinburgh's) total was under-par. We had full confidence in our batting line-up but we lost wickets and some decisions against us. It can happen in T20 cricket. Smuts struck the ball beautifully and they were able to bat deep into the back end. It's been a great tournament and hopefully we've had enough of the rain and we can have more [full] games like this. The cricket is heating up here and it's getting tighter at the top.
6.30pm That is that. Santner's Castle Rockers move up to the top of the ETPL points table. The win was set up by Smuts' 98, which carried ECR to 189 for 5. Belfast Wolves lost four wickets in the powerplay in their chase and never really recovered. They eventually fold for 130 in 17.1 overs. `After Boult bagged three wickets in the early exchanges, Curran wraps up the game with a hat-trick, the first in this league. Do stick around for the presentations.
