- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 Topley gets his man! Shimmies down leg on this length ball and tried to clatter it over point, ends up spooning it straight to Klassen at cover-point, he pouches it just above his ahead. A much needed wicket to slow down things, Salt got troubled by the slower one 75/112.6 And Pretorius has the last laugh, tremendous riposte. clever change of pace. Short of a length outside off, spoons it straight to point who didn't have to move many muscles to gobble that up, easy catch. He has done his work, platform is set to go all guns blazing in the last five overs. 151/46.3 Gone! Tries to go big but didn't get all of it, looking to take the aerial route by picking this from outside off but got the toe-end and Dala takes a nice low catch at deep midwicket, Bruyn looking despondent after miscuing the shot. Another important breakthrough 78/29.2 Just when Capitals were upping the ante again and going berserk, Paul strikes! Fraction short and width on offer, cuts hard but finds third man. Pace off the ball does the trick He is mixing it up nicely, shot was on but he couldn't place it in the gap, vital breakthrough 113/318.1 Launches the ball straight into the hands of Maharaj at extra cover, settles under the skier and hangs onto it brilliantly. Length ball scudding through the surface very quickly, leans forward and pushes at it, miscued it completely. Good comeback in the death overs from Gaints 197/617.2 Klassen takes a classy tumbling catch at deep midwicket, swooped like a shooting star to take the catch. Touch short on middle and leg, slams this into the leg side but didn't get the elevation and requisite power to clear the ropes 195/519.1 Clattered the stumps! Short of a length on 121 kph aiming the top of off and sends the off-stump packing. Ball got some inward seam movement and beat his wild swing to the leg side 197/818.4 Fuller, angling into the pads, Parnell takes the bait and looks to go big over midwicket but finds Breetzke in the deep who came charging in from the deep and took a stupendous catch 197/719.4 Holes out to deep midwicket, excellent tumbling catch from Keemo Paul! Swooped to his left and took a stunner. Thrashed away merrily across the line but didn't get under it.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.5 Short and wide of off, he can't believe what he has done! Reaching out, playing far away from his body, reluctantly playing that shot and it goes straight to the sweeper (Bosch) who took a few steps to his right and calmly pouched it. He was looking dangerous, important breakthrough, Breetzke has to take the long walk back to the pavilion 39/17.1 Disturbs the furniture! Round the wicket, tossed up outside off, stands tall and tries to swat it through the off side, ends up making a mess of his stumps by chopping it back onto the stumps, a loose shot brings his demise 58/211.2 Gottim! Hits the deck hard and gets good response, ragging away outside off, tries to smash him over deep midwicket but it goes straight to Ingram who was sitting deep in the rope and reverse cups it calmly into his big bucket hands. De Kock can't believe his luck, handed it straight to the man who didn't have to much much to snaffle it. Prized scalp, another puncture in the chase. Slow ball befuddled him 89/47.6 Cries of catch it and taken at deep midwicket! Tossed up shorter and gets decent amount of turn, he heaves it into the air while playing with the spin, third umpire taking a look if it's a clean catch, ball was dying on him. What a snare! Fingers were clearly underneath the ball and it's OUT on the big screen 62/317.1 Ball thunders into the front pad as he looks to scoop it over the keeper, they all appeal in unison and convince the umpire to raise the dreaded finger. Review taken. Looked close in real time. Pitched on back of a length and held its line on middle, in-fact swerved in a little unless it was an optical illusion. No deviation on ultra edge. three reds on the big screen, umpire's call and that's that. Only height would have saved him but it's hitting just under the bail on leg stump 158/712.4 And his short enterprising cameo comes to an end! good length ball holds its line on fifth stump, a nothing shot, goes high in the air and Parnell takes a stupendous sprawling running catch somewhere behind point, he was swirling in the air and timed the dive to perfection, Stoinis got a bit carried away, tried to hit it across the line to the leg side on a ball that was wide of off 106/516.1 Another momentum breaker for DSG! The dangerous customer is OUT right after the break. Short of a length ball too wide of off stump, would have been a wide had he left that alone but he went chasing after it, playing away from his body, not getting the power and Will Jacks catches it as easy as you like at deep extra cover. 141/6Extras15 (b 1, lb 6, w 8)TOTAL187/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.35)Fall of wickets: 1-39 (Matthew Breetzke, 4.5 ov), 2-58 (Kyle Mayers, 7.1 ov), 3-62 (Heinrich Klaasen, 7.6 ov), 4-89 (Quinton de Kock, 11.2 ov), 5-106 (Marcus Stoinis, 12.4 ov), 6-141 (Keemo Paul, 16.1 ov), 7-158 (JJ Smuts, 17.1 ov)
