That's all from us, guys, for this game. Tomorrow it's a double-header. Tshwane Spartans will face Nelson Mandela Bay Giants in the afternoon, followed by Blitz taking on Paarl Rocks. We'll be back with ball-by-ball coverage once again. Till then, have a great time.
Farhaan Behardien: We knew it was going to be a high-scoring game. We faded towards the back end but we knew 200 was going to be good enough. Our bowling unit is looking really good.
Dane Vilas: I thought it was a chaseable total, especially the way we started. You have to move forward. [On Gayle's absence] It's an opportunity for others to step up.
Quinton de Kock is the Player-of-the-Match. "Wasn't sure how the wicket would play," he says. "So just took my time. I just like to go out there without worrying the pressure of the game. Our bowlers have really helped us in this tournament."
10:30pm Time for presentation.
10:22pm That's four in four for Blitz, a clinical performance to clinch the win with a bonus point. They consolidate their position at the top with a 62-run victory. De Kock and Malan led the batting with an aggressive 99-run opening stand. Stars pulled it back a bit in the last five overs to restrict Blitz to 198. But their batting crumbled against the scoreboard pressure. Nortje and Steyn rocked the top order, while Linde cleaned up the tail as Stars were bowled out for 136 in 17.4 overs.
