- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.3 skies it, and taken this time, by Ferreira! Tossed up full outside off. van der Dussen tries to tonk it into oblivion but loses his shape. Slices it and Ferreira does the rest at long off. Tahir is celebrating wildly, but JSK's first wicket has come after MICT have piled up 200 runs in 15.3 overs... 200/119.2 edged and taken! Rickelton falls for 98! Back of a length outside off. Rickelton throws the kitchen sink at it and gets a healthy outside edge. The ball flies to Hermann's left, who keeps up with it and snares a sharp catch high to his left! Rickelton could not quite get the century, but this is another stellar knock! 239/416.4 oh, my days, what a catch that is! Hang it in the Louvre! Fullish on middle and off. Seems to just hold in the surface and meddles with Brevis' timing. He cloths it and he seems to have gotten enough to clear du Plessis at mid off. Until...he runs back, flings out his right mitt nonchalantly and plucks it out of thin air over his shoulder. No words can ever do justice to what the JSK skipper has just pulled off here! 208/217.4 appeal, and given! Livingstone has reviewed this, though! Full and speared into middle and leg. Livingstone hacks across the line and misses it completely. Gets pinned on the pads and that looked very out on first look. Not sure what is going to come out of this review, to be honest. The ball hit him on the back leg in front of middle, and Ball Tracking shows the ball would have thundered into leg stump! 226/319.6 stumps everywhere! Sizzling yorker on middle and leg. Curran just cannot get his bat down in time and the ball pin-balls off the pads before leaving off stump in a mess. A five-run final over, and MICT have been restricted to a sub-250 total! 243/5Extras12 (b 1, w 11)TOTAL243/5 (20 Overs, RR: 12.15)Fall of wickets: 1-200 (Rassie van der Dussen, 15.3 ov), 2-208 (Dewald Brevis, 16.4 ov), 3-226 (Liam Livingstone, 17.4 ov), 4-239 (Ryan Rickelton, 19.2 ov), 5-243 (Sam Curran, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 du Plessis bites the dust now! Linde dangles the carrot outside off and du Plessis bites. Has a wild hack across the line and the ball skews off the outer half of the bat. Hendricks settles himself at backward point and does the rest. The Super Kings are three down inside the powerplay! 29/31.1 oh dear, that is catastrophe for JSK! What were they doing?! Fullish on leg stump. du Plessis works it past mid wicket. Seems like the third was on, and du Plessis certainly felt that way. Hendricks, though, was rooted to his crease, until both batters were at the bowler's end. Livingstone, running to his left from deep square leg, fired in a rocket throw at the bowler's end. The bowler then relayed it to the keeper, and Hendricks was not even in the frame! 3/12.6 Hermann perishes! Length just outside off. Hermann opens up his front hip and aims for the mountains. Slices across it and the ball flies off the top edge. Third man comes rushing in and Hendricks takes a neat catch sliding forward! 14/210.6 Is that another run-out!? Linde pulls his length back on leg stump after seeing du Plooy come down the track. He nurdles it into the square leg region and decides to hare back for the second. Always looked like a risky run, and he is indeed short. Good take by Rickelton to his left before whipping off the bails in a flash. du Plooy could not make it, despite the dive, and JSK are five down! 92/55.6 six and out! Full and wide outside off. Moeen's eyes light up and he throws the plumbing at it. Laces his cover drive but the only problem is he hits it uppishly in the general direction of Pollard at extra cover. The MICT skipper flings himself to his right and snaffles up a sharp chance! Moeen gets a bit of a send-off from Hendricks too, and JSK are staring down the barrel! 47/411.4 stumped by a mile! Fizzed through on a back of a length on middle and leg. Livingstone might have shortened his length too after seeing Ferreira advance. Ferreira goes through with his agricultural mow and gets beaten by the turn. Rickelton does the rest, and MICT have another! 94/617.1 Stone gets Shepherd! Banged in short outside off and this climbs onto Shepherd. He tries to hack it away but is awfully late on the stroke. Splices it up and Pollard takes the easiest of catches at mid wicket! 144/912.6 another chance for Livingstone and he clings on! Looped up on a length on leg stump. Williams skips down the track and nearly swings himself off his feet. He had to reach out in front of his body, though, meaning that he could not get the power he was after. Went up a fair way but Livingstone completed the catch without any fuss at deep mid wicket! 103/716.4 soft dismissal! Slower delivery dug into the track outside off. Sticks in the surface and Burger is early into his stroke. Chips it straight to Stone at short extra cover, and MICT are just two wickets away from a very commanding win! 144/817.5 that will be that! It is all over! Searing yorker on off stump. Zahir backs away and tries to carve it behind point. Too ambitious a stroke, and he cannot even lay bat on it in the end. Beaten for pace and the off bail is disturbed! 145/10Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL145 all out (17.5 Overs, RR: 8.13)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Reeza Hendricks, 1.1 ov), 2-14 (Ronan Herrmann, 2.6 ov), 3-29 (Faf du Plessis, 4.1 ov), 4-47 (Moeen Ali, 5.6 ov), 5-92 (Leus du Plooy, 10.6 ov), 6-94 (Donovan Ferreira, 11.4 ov), 7-103 (Lizaad Williams, 12.6 ov), 8-144 (Nandre Burger, 16.4 ov), 9-144 (Romario Shepherd, 17.1 ov), 10-145 (Zahir Khan, 17.5 ov)
