- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR18.6 finds long-off, and falls for 92! The wheels have all but come off for Super Kings in the last few overs. That went flat and fast to the fielder, who took it in front of his head. Fullish and a bit wide of off, as du Plessis went lashing at it with a flat bat. Instead, the ball landed right where the fielder stood 152/614.2 swats, but finds deep point! Carse went for a change of pace, and bowled short and wide of off. Hendricks didn't read the cutter, which angled away from him, and ended up giving the fielder a catch, as Hermann got low and took the dying ball 119/115.2 wow, he bowls himself there! A freak wicket, but Markram of course doesn't care. This ball was short around middle and off, as Wade attempted the reverse sweep again. But the length is quite short for that shot, as the ball ends up going on to hit leg stump after hitting his arm and chest 128/215.4 beaten outside off. Looks to defend this fullish ball angling away, but the ball goes past his outside edge. Appeal for stumping, as they take it to the third umpire. No bat involved - no outside edge for a potential caught behind, that is - and replays show his back leg just rises up and goes in the air when the bails are flicked. Markram strikes twice inside three balls 130/317.2 and taken by long-off, just after Markram put himself there! A cutter from Jansen, as he bowls full and a bit wide of off. du Plooy, hanging back deep in the crease, slices that slightly away from his body, with the ball ballooning to the fielder, with the bat face opening. Super Kings losing their way quickly here 140/418.4 taken by point! The ball took off from Shepherd's top edge, and the fielder from point just moved a few steps to his right to take it reverse cupped. It was a short ball, which rose well off the pitch, as he pulled, but there looked to be some extra bounce there. Another wicket falls, with more pressure on du Plessis 151/5Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL160/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-119 (Reeza Hendricks, 14.2 ov), 2-128 (Matthew Wade, 15.2 ov), 3-130 (Donovan Ferreira, 15.4 ov), 4-140 (Leus du Plooy, 17.2 ov), 5-151 (Romario Shepherd, 18.4 ov), 6-152 (Faf du Plessis, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 Carrom ball knocks over the off stump! Flat on a slight back of length, Rossington took his front leg and looked to push the ball through cover. Played down the wrong line, bamboozled and bowled. 11/112.3 bowled him, as this keeps low! Bavuma tried to adjust for the lack of bounce, but there was nothing there. It pitched on a fullish length on leg, and turned away to hit the base of middle stump while scooting off the surface. Bavuma was trying to swipe that away seeing the original line and length, but no bounce there - and some turn - got the better of him 82/44.1 Square drive finds point! Full around fifth, there for the slashing stroke. It carved off the outer-half, was going at pace but went around head-height to Ferreira who took the sharp catch. Coetzee and the fielders celebrate. 23/24.6 Mid-on and mid-off run in, collision. Has the catch been taken? Yes! Bouncer just outside off, Smuts was beaten for pace and bounce. Coetzee and the skipper came in and shaped for the catch in-sync. Coetzee's hair flew as he took the catch. A bit of hip and shoulder but all ends fine, similar to when Shubman Gill and Ravi Jadeja collided while dismissing Wade in the 2020 boxing day Test 23/315.1 slashed to cover-point! Three wickets in three balls. It is falling apart in a hurry. Eastern Cape's last hope departs. The ball was full and wide of off, as he went low to have a flat-batted flash at it. But he only managed an aerial slash to the fielder, who accepted the gift with glee. Super Kings all but confirmed winners from here 98/714.5 makes room, and is cleaned up! On a short of a length, and going on with the arm to pitch around leg stump. Stubbs was standing outside leg early, and trying to slash that away. But he got a little top edge, with the ball tickling middle stump to leave him frustrated 98/514.6 given leg before as another one stays low! Jansen chats with Markram, and asks for a review. He was hit on his back pad, as he tried to flick that, and replays show there is no inside edge either. The ball was short and pitched just outside off, going on with the arm once again to finish on leg stump while also keeping low. Jansen was deep in the crease as he missed the ball, and ball tracking shows the ball would have pinged leg stump. Two in two for Super Kings 98/616.4 uproots off stump! They are coming and going here. What looked like a carrom ball was flicked from the front of the hand, and landed on a short of a length. It was angled in, but just hinted to straighten and hit off stump, as Fuller missed his across-the-line clip 113/819.2 popped into Wade's gloves! Good catch, as he moves to his left to calmly take that. This time Shepherd bowled pretty short - following on from a yorker - as the ball angled in and ended outside leg. Carse pulled away from his body, and got a faint glove 133/9Extras11 (lb 6, w 5)TOTAL136/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.8)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Adam Rossington, 1.3 ov), 2-23 (Jordan Hermann, 4.1 ov), 3-23 (JJ Smuts, 4.6 ov), 4-82 (Temba Bavuma, 12.3 ov), 5-98 (Tristan Stubbs, 14.5 ov), 6-98 (Marco Jansen, 14.6 ov), 7-98 (Aiden Markram, 15.1 ov), 8-113 (James Fuller, 16.4 ov), 9-133 (Brydon Carse, 19.2 ov)
