Kallis says Pretoria Capitals still in search of the 'perfect game'
Pretoria Capitals assistant coach Jacques Kallis said they're still a fair bit away from playing their best cricket, despite their consecutive wins in the SA20.
The Capitals are the only unbeaten side remaining in the tournament, having defeated the Sunrisers Eastern Cape home and away.
On Tuesday, the Pretoria franchise will be tested when they face the struggling Joburg Super Kings at the Wanderers, with the Super Kings coming off the back of two losses against Paarl and Cape Town.
Kallis said it was a mark of the Pretoria Capital's quality that they won without being at their best.
"We've played some good cricket in the past two games, but we're still some way away from the perfect game," Kallis said.
"The perfect game doesn't come around often, but when it does, you'll hit your straps. When that is, I suppose we have to wait and see.
"It's a sign of a good team when you're winning convincingly, yet we haven't been at our absolute best, but I hope there are promising times lying ahead."

Kallis isn't underestimating the Super Kings' batting line-up despite dismal showings of late, which saw them dismissed for totals of 81 and 105.
"They're a good side and there's the rivalry between Pretoria and Johannesburg, but we have to do the basics better than them," Kallis said.
"We're a well-balanced side, so I hope we've got the match-ups to give us the best opportunities of winning.
"It's going to be a tough game, but I'm sure people will enjoy the game."
Tuesday's Highveld derby will be followed by the return game on Wednesday before another coast trip for games against Durban's Super Giants (Friday) and Paarl Royals (Sunday).
