    0.1 oh my, Sipamla has dismissed Crawley off the first ball again! You cannot make this up, and the Wanderers is a cacophony of noise! Length ball in the fifth stump channel and this seems to leave the batter late. Crawley has one of those characteristic wafts away from his body and gets a thick outside edge that is gobbled up by Ferreira to his right at slip. Dream start for the Super Kings, and Crawley's SA20 nightmare continues! 0/1
    12.5 Bedingham holes out, and catch Imran Tahir now if you can! Dangles the carrot outside off and Bedingham bites. He hares down but is not quite to the pitch. In retrospect, Tahir did well to drag it outside the batter's arc. Bedingham had to fetch it and could therefore not muster the power required to clear the fence. du Plessis did the rest at long off. Tahir, meanwhile, capped it all off with his rendition of Cristiano Ronaldo's Siuu celebration! 74/5
    0.6 chopped on and Lutho Sipamla has two in the first over! They are up and about in the stands, and this has been a start and some for the Super Kings! Hard length outside off and this seems to hold in the surface a shade. Abell has a stab at it and all he manages is an inside edge onto his stumps. He cannot believe what he has done and the Sunrisers Eastern Cape have lost two wickets with the score still reading zero! 0/2
    2.6 edged and gone! Sipamla has three and this powerplay gets better and better for the Super Kings! Full outside off and this seems to nip away sharply off the surface. Hermann, looking to drive, is not quite to the pitch and feathers it through to Bairstow, who dives low to his left and sends Hermann back on his way! 12/3
    3.5 stumps go splat and the Sunrisers Eastern Cape captain is outta here! Length ball in the channel and this seems to nip back a smidgen. Markram, facing his first ball, goes for the drive on the up and gets a fat inside edge that makes an absolute mess of the stumps. Only one stump is left standing after that mayhem and that is perhaps emblematic of this innings, with Bedingham the only bright (and standing) spot so far! 17/4
    17.5 Stubbs has been barbecued! Absolutely barbecued! Hard length on off. Dawson prods it towards short mid wicket and seems to take a couple of steps. He then says no but by then, it is too late. Lubbe swoops in, picks it up and throws down the stumps in one go. Massive, massive moment in the game, and Stubbs is livid as he storms off! 115/7
    17.4 does him all ends up! Slower ball on a back of a length on leg stump and Jansen has no clue about it. Sucked into the stroke too early and he closes his bat face, which leads to his downfall. The ball spoons up off the leading edge and du Plessis snares the chance at mid off! 115/6
    18.2 plumb with a capital P! Sizzling yorker on middle stump. Dawson clears his front leg and swipes across the line. Misses it completely and gets rattled on the back leg, right in front of middle stump. That seemed as easy a decision as any for the umpire but Dawson reviews because, well, why not. No bat involved and Ball Tracking, as expected, shows the ball to be thundering into middle and off stump. That will go down as one of the not-so-great reviews in SA20 history! 116/8
    18.4 oh my word! Stop the press, this is an absolute worldie. Ferreira cannot believe what he has done and almost runs half of the circumference of the Wanderers! Oh my goodness - no words will ever be able to do this justice! Dug into the track outside off. Swanepoel backs away and crashes it towards deep point. The ball seems destined to clear the fence until...Ferreira comes running around. He sticks his right palm out and with absolute nonchalance, plucks it out of thin air. Wow. Just wow! 117/9
    18.6 stumps demolished, and the Sunrisers Eastern Cape have been rolled over for 118! Length ball on middle and leg. Baartman clears his front leg and tries to tonk it into tomorrow. Only connects with fresh air and sees his middle stump and leg stump flattened soon after. A fitting end to a dominant bowling display, and the crowd applauds their team off the field! 118/10
