END OF OVER:
20 | 10 Runs | DSG: 157/6 | RR: 7.85

7.08pm Mulder's 20-ball 38 has given their bowlers something of a score to bowl at. A total of 54 runs scored in the last four overs, and with this pitch turning and somewhat slow to off-pace balls, the DSG faithful will think they can chase this. MI Cape Town's spinners - Linde and Kaber - were excellent, sharing four wickets together for very few runs, but Curran and Stone were expensive. Breetzke's 46-ball 48 was important, and even though it was slow, it ensured atleast one proper batter was there for most of the innings. See you soon.

Stone to Mulder, 2 runs, short ball pulled to deep midwicket. Fielder there Brevis is running around the boundary line and gets in position for the catch, but the ball doesn't stay in. Dropped! And it is also the team 150.

Chris: "Scurran form has dropped off a cliff since the T20 world cup. He needs to sort out his bowling and batting, I think they need to find a more solidified spot for him too. He bats all over the place and never has any specific bowling plans "

Rabada to Mulder, FOUR, bit of luck. Length ball on leg. Mulder tries to hammer it through square leg but gets an edge to get it to fine leg instead

DaWolf: "I never understand this automatic reluctance to use spin at the death. Sure it sometimes gets smashed for runs. So does pace. If it's a spinning track the spinner can bowl any over IMO."

Andy D: "Don't know why you wouldn't use Livingstone's spin here. It's clearly a spinner's track! Waste" -- too late to try at the death I'd reckon

Stone to Breetzke, (no ball) SIX, ups the ante! Short ball with full pace. Breetzke makes room and then slaps a pull in front of square! They're checking the height because this was a second short ball in the over. Will they call it a no-ball? The batter hit it at head height but the impact was a metre in front of his face
