- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.6 short, slapped... but straight to short fine leg! Reaction catch from Dupavillon and Capitals have a breakthrough from nowhere. Pace off and into the pitch from Parnell, and although van der Dussen struck it well, the ball flew at a nice catchable height to the man inside the ring 64/113.6 lines up another leg-side heave to a fuller ball, struck on the back pad, given! Rickelton opts to review. Was there a hint of inside edge? Flat line on UltraEdge, and ball-tracking predicts it would have clipped leg stump halfway up 151/39.3 slower ball, low full toss and... Livingstone toe-ends to deep square leg! The bouncer/yorker one-two, with a twist (of the wrist) does for MICT's No. 3. Livingstone's feet were stuck in cement as he flailed across the line, sent it straight to Ackermann, who could set himself for the catch a few yards in off the rope 87/217.4 edges behind, and tempers flaring! Words exchanged between Parnell and Curran. Neither looks too happy about it. Width outside off, Curran has a flash and edges through to Salt 196/4Extras10 (lb 3, nb 4, w 3)TOTAL248/4 (20 Overs, RR: 12.4)Fall of wickets: 1-64 (Rassie van der Dussen, 4.6 ov), 2-87 (Liam Livingstone, 9.3 ov), 3-151 (Ryan Rickelton, 13.6 ov), 4-196 (Sam Curran, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 top-edged towards fine leg... and taken nonchalantly! The debutant, Neal van Heerden, plucks a skyer off his eyebrows and MICT have their first wicket of the night. Salt hoicked across the line but didn't get the distance. Looked almost as if van Heerden had overrun it, but he kept cool. There were gasps around the ground, while Curran had his hand over his mouth 27/12.4 bowled him, middle stump flattened! Even better then the previous ball and Jacks is put back in his box. Full and fast, Rabada zeroes in on the base of middle as Jacks backed away again. Capitals lose their other gunslinging English opener 33/23.2 straight through him! Thushara shushes the home crowd as Capitals lose their third in the powerplay. Not quite yorker length but the low arm means it skids on viciously, past Rossouw's heave across the line and rattling into middle and off 34/33.3 oh my, off stump uprooted! That's a beauty from Thushara, full and swinging viciously past Ackermann's outside edge to leave him looking behind in bafflement! That's pretty much unplayable for a first ball, curling from middle and leg to dispatch off. SuperSport Park is silenced 34/44.6 chipped to mid-off, another one goes! Full and inviting the drive again but this is mistimed, the ball floating towards Pollard who isn't going to drop those, snagged high to his right. Rabada has a second, Capitals five down and flagging in the fifth 41/55.4 boom, another wrecking ball yorker! That is a work of art from Thushara, swinging late to hit the base of middle and off. Dadswell had no answer as he hung back and prodded blindly. The camera keep panning to Lasith Malinga in the MICT dugout, and you can see why 42/613.1 hauled leg-side... Rabada settles underneath it! Pollard breaks the partnership, and MICT have nearly wrapped things up 120/714.3 cleaned up by a yorker! Big celebration from van Heerden who roars "COME ON!"
