Rocking Rilee has 56 reasons to celebrate Pretoria Capitals' win, but treasures Morgan wicket

Pretoria Capitals batter Rilee Rossouw may have top-scored and collected the man-of-the-match award in his team's 29-run win over the Paarl Royals in the first SA20 semi-final on Wednesday, but it's the wicket of Eoin Morgan that he treasured.

On a square-turning Wanderers surface, Rossouw was given an over where he not only dismissed the former England captain, but nearly had Evan Jones out leg-before.

He only conceded three runs in the over, including a wide, but the sight of two left-handers in the middle, despite Morgan's and David Miller's pedigree, was salivating enough for Capitals skipper Theunis de Bruyn to give Rossouw the ball.

Rossouw, who sported a broad grin, said the tactic was discussed with Capitals coach Graham Ford before it's precise execution in the game.

"I spoke to Fordie at practice, and I kept on harping at them about only bowling in big games," Rossouw said.

"I've taken wickets in semi-finals and even though it started as a joke, I have a decent record in semi-finals.

"In all seriousness, I thought there was a very good possibility, so I was asked to bowl and I bowled and I knew Miller wouldn't want to get out to me.

"Two left-handers favoured me, and I've got Morgan out and it only took me one ball, so it's two in two for me against him.

"I felt confident."

In the absence of an off-spinner, Rossouw was actually a smart move considering the turn leg-spinner Adil Rashid was generating.

Senuran Muthusamy was given a run early, but was taken apart by Jos Buttler up front and couldn't be risked later in the game.

Rossouw said he enjoyed his seven-ball stint,
