New Delhi, Jan 24 (NationPress) As the Pretoria Capitals prepare to face Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the SA20 final this Sunday, young star batter Dewald Brevis emphasized the significance of remaining at the crease until the last delivery, a strategy that has underpinned his recent success in the last two matches.

During this SA20 season, Brevis has skillfully moderated his naturally aggressive style, particularly highlighted by his remarkable innings of 53 and an unbeaten 75, both pivotal in leading the Capitals to victory.

Once known for his intent to dominate from the very first ball, Brevis has now adopted a more patient approach, showcasing a level of maturity that could be vital in the upcoming title match.

“I believe each game is a fresh start. Each match offers a new chance. I aim to fulfill my role while staying true to myself. My approach in the last two games varied, reflecting their unique challenges,” he stated.

“For me, and what the coach and team expect, is my presence until the end. Being smart with decisions is crucial; I aspire to be the player who exits the field alongside my partner.”

“That’s always my target, maintaining a positive mindset. While I wished to perform at my best from the tournament's onset, it has been a journey. I’m proud of our team’s progress and can’t wait for Sunday,” Brevis remarked in response to a question from IANS during the JioStar Press Room show on Saturday.

The Capitals are under the guidance of former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly, who is embarking on his inaugural coaching journey in cricket. Standing on the verge of clinching their first trophy, Ganguly reflected on his experiences leading India in finals, yet is determined to focus on motivating the Capitals for victory.

“It's not solely the 2003 ODI World Cup final that comes to mind; I’ve captained India in finals during 2001 and 2002 as well. Memories resurface, but I strive to set them aside and focus on the task ahead. Each day, each game is a new opportunity, and we remain committed to winning,” he explained.

“To reach the finals, one must excel in the majority of matches. The final is merely another game, and the essence of becoming champions lies in consistently winning matches. The approach remains unchanged; we must perform well to secure victories,” he concluded.
