5.08pm: Put runs on the board: check. Can MICT now defend them and maintain their 100% home record this season? Despite all the changes to their XI, they looked well placed. The openers laid the platform with a brilliant century stand, Connor Esterhuizen and Sediqullah Atal both scoring fifties, then the rest came and went in a flurry of hitting. We'll be back for the Capitals chase shortly. If it's more pongo you're after, I think India are still going hard at the Wankhede...

19.6
1
Peters to Brevis, 1 run, low full toss, carved to long-off, just a single... but MICT have done good work with the bat
19.5
0
Peters to Brevis, no run, bumper, 139kph over leg stump. Brevis ducks it

That's the 200 up for MICT

19.4
4
Peters to Brevis, FOUR, misfielded for four more! Peters misses his yorker on a wide line, 143kph. Brevis picked out cover but Lion-Cachet, I think, lets the ball straight through him
19.3
4
Peters to Brevis, FOUR, round the wicket, full length, bludgeoned down the ground first ball! Neesham got a hand to it at mid-off but couldn't stop the proverbial tracer bullet from reaching the fence

Dewald Brevis does now walk in

19.2
W
Peters to Benjamin, OUT, bowled him through his legs! Peters aims for the stumps and hits, with Benjamin looking to do something fancy. Jumps round and turns the bat face for the reverse-ramp, but completely fails to connect. Hits the base of middle. Zing bails go pop

CG Benjamin b Peters 0 (7m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

19.1
1
Peters to Linde, 1 run, low full toss on the pads, chopped down to long-off

Peters to finish things

Imen: "Whats with MI not trusting Brevis?" No idea, other than they want other batters to try to get some form ahead of the knockouts

END OF OVER:
19 | 4 Runs 2 Wkts | MICT: 191/4 | RR: 10.05

  • George Linde3 (2b)
  • Chris Benjamin0 (1b)
  • James Neesham4-0-32-3

Good over from Neesham, keeps Capitals dreaming of holding MICT under 200

1
Neesham to Linde, 1 run, 130kph attempted yorker, again only dug out for a single
18.5
2
Neesham to Linde, 2 runs, length ball, slogged into the leg side... Ackerman sprints in but can't hold on to a diving effort!

George Linde is in at No.6

18.4
W
Neesham to Potgieter, OUT, skied into the deep, another for Neesham! Scrambled seam, Potgieter swings to leg but sends the ball spiralling out towards deep backward point for a straightforward catch. Decent cameo from him, but Capitals are fighting hard at the death

D Potgieter c Behrendorff b Neesham 26 (20m 15b 3x4 1x6) SR: 173.33

18.3
0
Neesham to Potgieter, no run, goes for the yorker, precise enough for Potgieter's drive to find cover
18.2
1lb
Neesham to Benjamin, 1 leg bye, low full toss, 134kph and hitting the pads as Benjamin moves across his stumps. Verreynne does well to get a hand on it

In walks Chris Benjamin, a man of Kent in Cape Town

18.1
W
Neesham to Esterhuizen, OUT, picks out deep midwicket! Looking to hit to the shorter boundary, but Esterhuizen falls. Pace-on slot-ball really, but he didn't get hold of it. Neesham grimaces, knows on another day that could have landed in the crowd. Fine innings from Esterhuizen, nevertheless

C Esterhuizen c Muthusamy b Neesham 69 (79m 43b 6x4 3x6) SR: 160.46

Neesh to bowl out

Peters to Potgieter, SIX, slower ball, clunked high over fine leg! Back-of-the-hander from Peters but it sits up nicely and Potgieter times it brilliantly to clear the ropes and finish another strong over for MICT

1
Peters to Esterhuizen, 1 run, 140kph, short and clubbed down to long-on
17.4
0
Peters to Esterhuizen, no run, length ball, bounces through over the stumps as Esterhuizen swings hard but fails to connect!
17.3

Peters to Esterhuizen, FOUR, ramped to fine leg! Esterhuizen gets this one away, showing a delicate touch as he moves across his stumps and lifts a length ball over the man in the ring
17.2
0
Peters to Esterhuizen, no run, gets the yorker in as Esterhuizen steps outside leg. 138kph and dipping under the bat
17.1
3
Peters to Potgieter, 3 runs, makes room, blasted through the covers, using 138kph of pace on the ball. Well pulled in by the chasing fielder at deep cover

Three to come, Peters for the 18th

16.2
4
Neesham to Potgieter, FOUR, full and wide, slashed through third! Potgieter's first boundary. The dive of the fielder on the edge of the ring can't cut the ball off

Abdul Sami: "What is the process of watching two matches simultaneously?" Two TVs, and two pairs of eyes, I'd imagine
