bang, that's a five-for, and the title! Jansen's final ball of the night, he keeps the stumps in play and plucks out the off one! Topley had a hopeless swing, but this match was long over!

9.49pm And with that, Aiden Markram receives the SA20 trophy, and off go the fireworks! It's been another memorable tournament, and it's been won by the outstanding side on display. Thanks for joining us, see you next time!
Aiden Markram accepts the winner's cheque and trots over for a chat: "It's a great feeling, to be in the final was a proud moment, and to rock up here and play that game of cricket was a testament to where we're going as a team. The competition is tough, every game you have to be at your best, nice to have got some momentum and carry that through, but today was a fresh start and luckily we put together a good performance. The bowlers were the shining light and the batters got us over the line. Incredibly proud of this group.
Keshav Maharaj: "At the start, if you gave us the final we'd have taken it. Beaten by the better side, but a lot of positives to take for next season. 20-30 runs too many, quite sloppy, but losing wickets at regular intervals didn't help. Our coaching staff put in the hard effort, and the boys on the field. Captaincy journey has been amazing, guys have made my job a lot more pleasant."
Marco Jansen is the season's Rising Star: "Those two with me [Worrall and Baartman] is a great feeling, awesome bowlers. With the bat I go out and enjoy it, happy to contribute for the team. Awesome [to get a five-for]. Couldn't have done it without the guys. I'm sure we'll celebrate tonight."
Tom Abell is Player of the Match: "To do it two in two is an unbelievable effort. So happy. Partnerships is something that we've emphasised. Rode my luck early on, but a great team effort. Grateful for my time here, a great group, feel v fortunate to be a winner now as well."
Marco Jansen: "Very proud of the guys, superb today. We thought 185 was about par so v pleased with 205. It was about hitting our areas and executing our plans."
Ottneil Baartman: "The guys have gelled nicely, credit to the bowlers there, quite exciting. I'll keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully I'll get a shout [to play for South Africa]"
8.56pm That is a marmalising from Sunrisers Eastern Cape. An 89-run win secures their second title in two SA20 campaigns, and Jansen finishes with 20 wickets for the tournament. He leads the team from the field, into a convoy of handshakes from Durban, who were never really at the races tonight.
