The Afghan duo of Noor Ahmad and Naveen ul Haq applied the choke in the end as the Capitals kept losing after the record partnership between the openers\u00a0Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Will Jacks was broken in the 13th over.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>Gurbaz and Jacks came out all guns blazing as Capitals raced off to 81 off the first six overs. The 210-run target set by the Super Giants started looking like a\u00a0dwarf in front of Gurbaz-Jacks&#8217; lethal attack. While Gurbaz brought up his fifty off just 22 balls, Jacks did in 28 deliveries as the Capitals were running away with the game.<\/p>\n<p>During their partnership, Gurbaz and Jacks broke the partnership record for the Pretoria Capitals in SA20 as 154 was the highest stand for the runner-up in the inaugural season surpassing Rilee Rossouw and Jacks&#8217; 147-run stand. 154 was also the third-highest partnership in SA20 history as at one point, the game seemed to be ending prematurely before the Capitals decided to self-destruct.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highest partnership for Pretoria Capitals in SA20<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>154 &#8211; Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Will Jacks (vs DSG) &#8211; Durban, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\n147 &#8211; Rilee Rossouw, Will Jacks (vs PR) &#8211; Centurion, 2024<br \/>111 &#8211; Will Jacks, Thenius de Bruyn (vs SEC) &#8211; Centurion, 2023<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highest partnership in SA20 history<\/strong>    <\/p>\n<p>200 &#8211; Ryan Rickelton, Rassie van der Dussen (MICT vs JSK) &#8211; Johannesburg, 2024<br \/>157 &#8211; Reeza Hendricks, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/faf-du-plessis\" rel=\"noopener\">Faf du Plessis<\/a> (JSK vs DSG) &#8211; Johannesburg, 2023<br \/>154 &#8211; Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Will Jacks (PC vs DSG) &#8211; Durban, 2025<\/p>\n<p>The Capitals went on to lose 6\/41 after Noor broke the partnership by sending back his countryman Gurbaz for 89.
