- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.4 chopped on! Rassie van der Dussen throws back his head in frustration. Length ball outside off, room to free the arms... but he only managed a thick inside edge into the base of his timbers. Big wicket for Capitals 107/43.1 gets the first wicket! Bowled according to his field and gets rewarded. Bowls on middle stump giving him no room, tempting Marshall to go over square leg. But there's a fielder in the deep, and when Marshall doesn't get distance on it, Dadswell takes a comfortable catch 22/15.5 Little strikes back! Enough of the disrespect, he feels. Bowls it a touch fuller, and a whole lot quicker at 146 kph. Bounces up from quite a full length and hits the top of off. Puts that finger to his lips, and sends Roelofsen on his way. 44/28.2 tried to smash Nortje out of Gauteng, but ends up missing it. Or does he? PC reckon there's a feather on that, and they've sent it upstairs. There is! Brevis falls, and Nortje wins that little battle! 74/313.6 nicked behind! Cramped for room and Linde swipes across the line, gets a thin tickle through to Salt. Neesham gets in on the fun, Capitals well on top now 117/612.6 full and straight, bowled 'im! David isn't in the same postal district as he backs away outside leg stump. So Nortje fires in a 152kph full toss and smashes the wicket. Neck and crop, David swishes in vain as the ball thunders into middle. Second of the night for Nortje 112/515.4 chaos out there! Curran is dropped at wide long-on... but Jansen has been run out at the non-striker's! Bosch made a mess of a running take going around the rope to his left, but had the presence to field the ball and fire in a flat throw. Muthusamy did the rest with Jansen stuck mid-pitch 128/716.1 straight up the chimney, gone! Short ball angling across and he tries to haul a pull leg side, sends a big top edge into the Centurion sky. Simple take for Salt jogging across towards short fine leg. Sam Curran's poor SA20 continues 129/818.1 clubbed off a length, picks out deep midwicket! Another one goes, severely underclubbed by Smith. Might have been a legcutter from Bosch and he was unable to generate enough power on his hack across the line 143/919.4 slows his pace up, Rabada has a heave and thick-edges through third. Rashid is coming back for three, but KG has been lapped! Both batters at the same end and MI's innings it going to end with a run-out. Very casual from Rabada, who wanders off as his captain crouches over his bat and contemplates a dismal display from his side. In fact, they only got one for that, as Rabada didn't touch his bat in for the second, either! 159/10Extras14 (lb 2, nb 1, w 11)TOTAL159 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 8.08)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Wesley Marshall, 3.1 ov), 2-44 (Grant Roelofsen, 5.5 ov), 3-74 (Dewald Brevis, 8.2 ov), 4-107 (Rassie van der Dussen, 11.4 ov), 5-112 (Tim David, 12.6 ov), 6-117 (George Linde, 13.6 ov), 7-128 (Duan Jansen, 15.4 ov), 8-129 (Sam Curran, 16.1 ov), 9-143 (Odean Smith, 18.1 ov), 10-159 (Kagiso Rabada, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 Miscued by Salt, and his English teammate gets him out. Flew up to KG Rabada at mid-on, who completed a smart catch. 50/15.5 brilliant ball. Sigh-inducing, almost. Drifting in, seaming away, squaring him up and taking the top of off. Nigh-on unplayable, and the swagger is back in Curran's face. Puts a finger to his lips to silence the crowd 51/26.1 Rashid strikes first ball. Tossed it up, luring him into a drive. Takes the outside edge, and Marshall at first slip holds on after a little juggle 53/312.5 miscued and taken! Goes for the big hit again, this time holes out to long-on. Pace on, 142kph and it hurries Rossouw as he aims downtown... gets plenty of height but he's not in control and Rashid Khan settles underneath the catch. A lifeline for MI 114/413.2 top-edged to square leg, MI have another! Banged in and Dadswell takes on the pull but splices his shot. Rashid is again the man on the spot, scampering across from midwicket to hold it safely sliding on his knees. This chase isn't done yet 114/513.6 nicked behind, Smith strikes again! Lovely bowling and Neesham is gone for a two-ball duck. Big roar from the West Indian, he's cracked the game open in this over. Hard length, perfect line and it nibbles just enough, takes the edge and Roelofson does the rest 115/619.3 full, sliced to backward point... Curran celebrates, and Capitals are nine down! Unless it was a bump ball? No, it's definitely gone up off the outside edge as Muthusamy chops his bat down into the turf. Snapped up by Brevis, and MI are alive! Sam Curran doing the business with his third of the night 158/917.1 short, wide... and nicked behind! Angling away off the deck, extra bounce from the towering Jansen and Bosch's flat-footed hack culminates in a fat edge through to the keeper. MI still scrapping here 138/717.6 picks out backward point! Makes room and swings hard again, but Brevis intercepts it on the dive! Jansen shushes the crowd, and Capitals still have some work to do. Sliced firmly but well held by the man inside the ring 148/8Extras13 (lb 2, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL160/9 (20 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-50 (Phil Salt, 5.1 ov), 2-51 (Kusal Mendis, 5.5 ov), 3-53 (Theunis de Bruyn, 6.1 ov), 4-114 (Rilee Rossouw, 12.5 ov), 5-114 (Shane Dadswell, 13.2 ov), 6-115 (James Neesham, 13.6 ov), 7-138 (Eathan Bosch, 17.1 ov), 8-148 (Anrich Nortje, 17.6 ov), 9-158 (Senuran Muthusamy, 19.3 ov)
