- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.2 cleans him up! Muthusamy has two! Given a bit of air and bowled very full on middle stump. Parsons backs away, trying to go inside out but ends up missing a straight ball. Might have been deceived in the air because it was a split-finger delivery that barely arrived. Parsons plays inside the line sufficiently and hears the death rattle soon after. Muthusamy is pumped, and the Capitals have two wickets in quick succession! 85/26.3 oh, hang on - what has happened here?! Slower and fuller outside off, inviting the booming drive. Breetzke goes for it but cannot quite keep it down. Drills it straight to Rossouw, who snares a sharp chance. A silence around Kingsmead, not sure anyone realized that that carried to Rossouw and that he took it cleanly. The Capitals have their first! 67/112.6 soft, soft dismissal, and Muthusamy's spell ends with a wicket! Floated up full just outside off. de Kock looks to paddle it over short fine leg but does not get under it enough. Pops it straight to Bosch and Muthusamy, unsurprisingly, is over the moon. A top spell and he has pegged the Super Giants back significantly through these middle overs! 117/313.3 nicked and gone! Livingstone breaks this game open further for the Capitals, and you can hear a pin drop at Kingsmead now! Floated up beautifully outside off, daring Klaasen to go for the big inside-out stroke. He takes up the invitation (of course he does) but does not get to the pitch. The ball grips enough and spins away, grazing the outside edge. Verreynne gobbles it up and the Capitals are jubilant; Klaasen and the Super Giants, not quite! 118/4Extras9 (lb 1, nb 3, w 5)TOTAL209/4 (20 Overs, RR: 10.45)Fall of wickets: 1-67 (Matthew Breetzke, 6.3 ov), 2-85 (Bryce Parsons, 8.2 ov), 3-117 (Quinton de Kock, 12.6 ov), 4-118 (Heinrich Klaasen, 13.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.4 hot knife through butter, and Kingsmead bursts into life! Now then. Now then! Fizzed in on a length just outside off. Jacks gets caught on the crease, perhaps becuase he is unsure of where this is turning. The ball snakes back into him, cuts him in half and smashes into the stumps. Noor leaps into the air in celebration and all of a sudden, the crowd can sense a possibility, as can the DSG players! 173/312.1 Noor with the breakthrough! And he wins the battle of the Afghans tonight! Googly floated up full outside off. Gurbaz has a huge swipe across the line and miscues it a touch. He still thinks he has gotten enough on it but Klaasen, stood right on the fence, takes it in front of his face with considerable ease. But take nothing away from this knock. 89 off 43 balls on a tricky track, and that has set the Capitals on their way to a record-breaking win! 154/113.2 chopped on! The good'ol one-two! Dug into the track outside off. Rossouw has an almighty swipe across the line and loses shape in the process. Drags it back onto his stumps and he is disappointed with himself. Is there a way back for the Super Giants? 169/215.5 got'im! Woakes knocks over Muthusamy and the Super Giants continue to fight! Not as short as the previous ball but still on the shorter side. Might have been a change-up too and this came on much slower than the batter expected. Muthusamy hacked at it agriculturally and only found his stumps. Woakes punches the air in delight, and DSG, somehow, might still be in this! 183/418.4 high into the Durban night sky and into Breetzke's palms! Kingsmead erupts and the Pretoria Capitals are capitulating! Even slower, dangling the carrot outside off. Livingstone bites and cuts across it way too much. No power on it at all and no distance either. Breetzke settles under it, having come in off the long off fence, and does the rest. The crowd are right into it, and this game is now suddenly the Super Giants' to lose! 195/617.5 up in the air and pouched by Maharaj! Kingsmead comes alive again, and there is hope again! Another slower ball outside off, asking Neesham to drag it. He tries to to do but comes up second-best, quite comfortably too. Skies it towards Maharaj at long on, who makes no mistake! 193/5Extras19 (b 1, lb 3, w 15)TOTAL207/6 (20 Overs, RR: 10.35)Fall of wickets: 1-154 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 12.1 ov), 2-169 (Rilee Rossouw, 13.2 ov), 3-173 (Will Jacks, 14.4 ov), 4-183 (Senuran Muthusamy, 15.5 ov), 5-193 (James Neesham, 17.5 ov), 6-195 (Liam Livingstone, 18.4 ov)
