8.57pm: Time for the presentations, starting with Player of the Match, Ryan Rickelton: "Awesome to get out there, been sickness and a hamstring niggle, so nervous tonight. Worked out well. [Test double-hundred] It's increased my profile, but last season set up expectations. To contribute tonight is special. [Crowd] They are incredible, we really appreciate them coming out."
JSK captain Faf du Plessis: "Feels like one of those performances you put in the bin. A lot went wrong, frustrating tonight. They batted really well. Thought we were only 10-15 runs short but the way they went in the powerplay. We felt the wicket would be at it's best in the first innings but it actually played really nicely throughout. Nature of the competition with six teams, you don't want to get into bad moment where you're slipping down the ladder. This is our first slip, so put it in the bin and move on. There's a huge amount of fast bowlers injured in SA cricket at the moment. It's not great. Injuries unfortunately happen, you have to roll with the punches."
MICT captain Rashid Kjhan: [Rickelton] "One of the best innings I've seen, it was amazing. A good night for us as a team. Second game back to back and the crowd is full, they way they supported us, it's beautiful to play here. As players, we do our best to perform for the fans. The beauty of this team, the combination, we have so many options with the ball, and who to send in when with the batting. So far, so good. A long way to go for us, we look solid but need to keep momentum."
And that's a wrap for tonight. The competition moves down to the coast tomorrow for Durban's Super Giants against Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Be sure to join us for that. Bye!
8.45pm: MICT notch up another win under the lights at Newlands, this time with a bonus point, and will take top spot in the standings after seeing off the early pacesetters, JSK. A target of 173 might have proved tricky but the openers got off to a blistering start, with Ryan Rickelton's 89 off 39 paving the way for an emphatic margin of victory. Home comforts have been scarce for MICT in the previous two seasons of SA20, but they've started on a roll this time around
Delano Potgieter is next in
And with that wicket, they are taking a strategic timeout - just in case anyone in the JSK dugout has any late masterstrokes they wish to share
