7:13pm A fairly topsy-turvy innings that ended with as many ebbs and flows as it started. MI Cape Town did not have the better of the early exchanges but they certainly dominated the last three overs. In between, the Super Giants' spinners threatened to apply the brakes and it required an excellent 60-run partnership between Linde and Roelofsen to keep them at bay.
With the ball gripping in the surface, and with MI Cape Town having a wonderful bowling attack, they are not out of it yet. If anything, this is a score that keeps both teams interested, and might make both of them feel they have a chance. Do join us in a bit for the run-chase!

Viljoen to Potgieter, OUT, gone this time! Length at the stumps and Potgieter can't believe his luck. He has a mighty swing at it but because he is so eager to hit it over the fence, he loses shape. In the end, he chalks it towards long on, where the fielder gobbles up the chance!
