10:34pm And that is all we have for you tonight. Thanks for joining in!
Vilas: Very happy with how the guys are playing. We've been playing well the whole tournament really, but to get the batting and bowling going together is good now. We're very fortunate with the guys we have, they're aware of their roles. It's hard to get into the side at the moment, but we like it that. [Bonus point] is huge at the moment, especially against such a good side.
Behardien: We'd done really well up until 10 overs. There was a dropped catch there. A lot of their batsmen came and started scoring right up front. I don't want to take any credit away from them. The wicket got quicker and it suited their bowlers, KG and Duanne.
Hendricks: I don't really know what to say anymore. I'm really happy we got the win today. We obviously had a slow starr, but the guys at the back end finished it off nicely for us. The batting unit has to set it up for the bowling unit, and last few games we've been doing that. I'm taking it as it comes, not thinking about the South Africa World Cup prospects, because that's a different format.
Reeza Hendricks is the Man of the Match.
10:21pm Jozi Stars now second on the table. Cape Town Blitz have had a second collective failure with the bat. Got away with their bowling last time and QDK's incredible hundred, but it won't be the case this time. Jozi Stars found heroes in all departments, and it is a well deserved bonus point, considering they only had 64 after ten overs in their batting innings. A 50-run win is massive.

Goes around the wicket
Faf du Plessis has suggested it's a straight shootout between Hendricks and Markram for the No. 3 slot, but if he keeps scoring heavily Hendricks could also put pressure on the openers
