10:05pm That's it from us for Match 2. Do join us tomorrow as Paarl Royals take on last season's finalists Pretoria Capitals. Until then, this is goodbye from me, Chandan and Sudeep. Take care, folks!

10pm Phew. What a game it was. Until it lasted, of course. MICT set the early pace, courtesy of Rickelton and then finished things off in style with Pollard turning back the clock. DSG did not get off to as good a start, but started finding their feet once Klaasen arrived at the crease.

He smashed the ball to all parts en-route a 35-ball 85, and while he did perish just before the rain arrived, he had put the game beyond MICT and taken DSG past the DLS par score. Klaasen hit eight sixes in total, and it meant that Rickelton, whose six sixes was the bedrock of his 51-ball 87, went in vain.

9:55pm Uh-oh, It's not the news we were looking for. The game has officially been called off, and DSG have won by 11 runs (DLS method). A shame we could not get the finish this match deserved Klaasen did more than enough before rain played spoilsport.

9:30pm Nothing new to report, unfortunately. The intensity of the downpour has reduced but it continues to drizzle. There is a fair bit of water on the covers too, which will need mopping up. A 60-minute buffer is in place before we start losing overs, although half of that might have already been consumed.

9:07pm The rain seems to have gained intensity all of a sudden and Shaun Pollock, on commentary, mentions that this could stick around because there is no breeze to blow it away. All we can do for now is wait...

9:04pm The rain has gotten heavier, and the players are coming off. DSG are ahead of the DLS par score, which, after 16.3 overs is 166. The ground staff have covered the pitch in a jiffy and now a bigger cover is being brought on to protect the square.

7:22pm MICT, riding on Rickelton's 87, finish with 207. They got off to a blazing start, with Rickelton and van der Dussen rattling along to 61-0 after the powerplay. The latter and Brevis fell in quick sucession but Esterhuizen landed a few lusty blows to re-inject momentum into the innings. Pollard and Livingstone did their bit at the end, thereby ensuring that MICT have a 200-plus total to play with.

DSG were a little shabby in the field, bowling as many as four No balls, and dropping Livingstone. Paul was probably the pick of the bowlers and changed up his pace nicely to keep the batters relatively quiet. Gleeson was good in patches but in other phases, was quite expensive. The spinners could not get into the game much either, meaning that DSG now have a massive total to scale down.

The good thing, though, is that the wicket looks true and there is a shorter boundary to target too. DSG have a decent batting line-up themselves, and this promises to be some run-chase. Join us in a bit for the second innings!
