- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.2 holes out to long-on! Wider line, fuller length, draws the lofted drive, Klaasen is back on the fence, in a wide position, and pockets a simple chance. A fine hand comes to an end 105/21.4 super riposte from Topley! Spears in the fuller length, attacking the shins, and Malan's planted front foot closes his body off from an attempted clip to leg. Up goes the finger, and though Malan reviews, this looks optimistic... Hits the inside half of his front pad, and it's smashing middle and leg! 15/110.5 bowled him! A pre-meditated sweep from Abell, but he was done in the flight, tossed up and dipping with all the pace off the ball, and gripping sufficiently to smash the stumps. A good knock from Abell, but that's both set batters done in the same over 106/3Extras3 (lb 2, w 1)TOTAL204/3 (20 Overs, RR: 10.2)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Dawid Malan, 1.4 ov), 2-105 (Jordan Hermann, 10.2 ov), 3-106 (Tom Abell, 10.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 inside-edged drive, into the stumps! That's a massive early blow! De Kock was never allowed to settle, and in the end his frustration draws the error. Full length, not quite there for the drive thanks to Worrall's shape through the air. Big moment! 6/110.1 splat! The off stump goes cartwheeling and this chase is toast! Breetzke reverses his stance, looking to take on the fine leg rope, but Baartman holds his line and plucks out the timber! A non-starter of an innings comes to an end 63/53.1 chipped straight to mid-off! Full length, swinging away outside off, a miscued drive and the simplest of chances to Kruger, running back to his left. This innings is circling the gurgler already... 7/23.4 this is an ex-contest! A flap across the line, a timid, tame clip to mid-on, and it's scooped up inches from the turf by that man Kruger again! 7/39.6 holes out on the long-off boundary! Marco Jansen reaches back over the rope, extending his 6'7" frame as if his arms were holding a litter-picker, and plucks the offering that others would not have got close to! 63/410.5 inswinger, thumps the pads, up goes the finger again! Huge moment, and this looks a lot closer than the last lbw that was overturned. Beats the inside-edge, and Klaasen is stuck on the crease. It's clipping leg! That, ladies and gents, is game over! 69/614.6 full length, stabbed to gully, Worrall ends his spell in style! Pretorius attempted to squirt a boundary through deep third with an open face, but ended up offering catching practice. The end is nigh 100/813.1 first-ball, right on the mark! Round the wicket, hits the seam, jags through a flat-footed block, and into leg stump! A sorry display gets sorrier still for Durban 84/716.4 hacked through the line, holes out to long-on! Jansen secures a slice of the leading wicket-taker's stakes. That's his fourth of the night, his 19th of the tournament, as Harmer holds on to end Dala's cameo 115/916.6 bang, that's a five-for, and the title! Jansen's final ball of the night, he keeps the stumps in play and plucks out the off one! Topley had a hopeless swing, but this match was long over! 115/10Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL115 all out (17 Overs, RR: 6.76)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Quinton de Kock, 2.2 ov), 2-7 (JJ Smuts, 3.1 ov), 3-7 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 3.4 ov), 4-63 (Wiaan Mulder, 9.6 ov), 5-63 (Matthew Breetzke, 10.1 ov), 6-69 (Heinrich Klaasen, 10.5 ov), 7-84 (Keshav Maharaj, 13.1 ov), 8-100 (Dwaine Pretorius, 14.6 ov), 9-115 (Junior Dala, 16.4 ov), 10-115 (Reece Topley, 16.6 ov)
