That's all from our side for the very first ETPL game. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. See you soon.
Faf du Plessis, the Player of the Match: We didn't have much information about the ground. So winning the toss and bowling first - I thought it came onto the bat really nice. We adjusted after that. Restricting under 160 was a great effort from the boys. You don't want three down in the powerplay but I tried to put some pressure back on the bowlers. After that we were running hard - lots of twos and threes on this ground. I love fielding and really pride myself in holding high standards. It's a great opportunity, this league, the start of something great.
Scott Edwards: It was a decent wicket. We were set for 170-180 but kept losing wickets. We knew we had to take early wickets. Under pressure, three down, Faf took the game on and took the game away from us.
6.33pm A comfortable win in the end for Dockers in the inaugural ETPL game. They restricted Flames to a below-par 157 but then lost three quick wickets. Du Plessis chose to counterattack and it paid off. He finished on 83 not out off 55. In the end, it was just a cruise.
END OF OVER:18 | 12 Runs | RTD: 157/5 (1 run required from 12 balls, RR: 8.72, RRR: 0.50)
