Muthusamy was aided by Player-of-the-Match Prenelan Subrayen after he finished with four for 56. It meant that 19 of the 20 Titans' wickets in the match fell to spin, exception being a run-out in the first innings. Muthusamy ended with a match analysis of nine for 92 and the latter bagged his maiden 10-wicket haul, 10 for 80 in 60 immaculate overs.
The result, sealed just before lunch on the fifth morning of the five-day match at Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium, secured for host Dolphins a maiden exclusive first-class title in the franchise era. The last time they won it on their own was in 2001-02 when they were known as KwaZulu-Natal.
