7.06pm From 34 for 4, DSG finish on 145 for 8, a score they will take given their situation. They have Heinrich Klaasen to thank for that, his 5th SA20 half-century on a two-paced surface giving the bowlers a total they can try to defend. A total of 85 runs scored in the back end.

For Super Kings, Burger was tidy, Williams got the breakthroughs and Tahir-Moeen did their bit with their combined four overs that cost only 23 runs. The men in yellow are desperate for a win, and a target of 146 presents the perfect opportunity. Can they do it away from home though? Join Himanshu again soon to find out.

Williams to Topley, 1 bye, full and wide ball. It is outside the tram-lines. Topley reaches out to slice it over point but misses. They scurry across for a bye and the umpire says its a perfectly fine ball. Durban Super Giants finish on 145 for 8

Williams to Klaasen, OUT, low full toss wide outside off. Klaasen tries to clear long off this time, but he has mistimed it. Long off gets under it. But a stellar knock on a sticky surface from Klaasen

Williams to Klaasen, FOUR, so smart! Full ball on off stump. Klaasen gets low and uses the pace of the ball to scoop a shot over short third!

Shubha : "The wicket is sticky and the ball isn't coming on. 140-150 can be a match winning score, if DSG bowl and field exceptionally well."

Williams to Maharaj, 1 run, full ball outside off. Crunches a drive to cover, but Moeen dives to his left and stops it from being anything more than one

Williams to Maharaj, FOUR, squirted away for four! Length ball outside off. Maharaj swipes leg-side and gets enough of the bat to send it past the square-leg umpire for four. Nobody there in that region on the leg side

One more ball of Klaasen staying off strike. Maharaj on strike now, with his parents watching from the ground.

Williams to Pretorius, OUT, high up but doesn't have the distance. Lizaad starts the 20th with a full offcutter outside off stump. Pretorius holes out to long on as he toe-ends a slog. Easy one for Shepherd

Burger to Klaasen, FOUR, innovative! Yorker on off, but Klaasen does well to move to the off side, bring the bat in front of his body, and then scoop it over short fine leg. That was all about his footwork that brought him in position early
