Corbin Bosch to Shubham Ranjane, out Caught by Rashid Khan!! Third wicket for Bosch. He's been excellent tonight. He sticks to the fullish length but this was pace off, Ranjane stays deep in the crease and looks to go down town, but he's deceived by the pace and slices it over extra cover, Rashid runs back and slides to take a very good catch. He made that look easy - he took it on the move while sliding on his knees. Shubham Ranjane c Rashid Khan b Corbin Bosch 12(12) [4s-1]

Corbin Bosch to Shubham Ranjane, FOUR, smashed! Much needed hit for the Super Kings. Full pitcher as Bosch goes searching for the yorker, he misses and Ranjane hammers it straight down the ground

Rashid Khan to Mulder, out Caught by Linde!! Rashid wins the battle. This is what experience does. He knew Mulder was coming at him - so he slows it up and gets it to grip, Mulder makes room and looks to go down the ground, but the turn makes the ball fly off the outer half and Linde settles under it near backward point. The Super Kings keep losing wickets.. Mulder c Linde b Rashid Khan 11(5) [4s-1 6s-1]

Rashid Khan to Mulder, SIX, that's outta here. The ball has gone into the trees and out of the ground. This is dragged short and Mulder backs away, waits for the ball and launches the pull towards deep square leg. We will need a replacement ball..

Corbin Bosch to Mulder, no ball, FOUR, that's a good end to the over. Fullish delivery close to off, Mulder backs away and drills the drive through extra cover. The third umpire has caught Bosch overstepping. Free-hit coming up..

Corbin Bosch to Matthew De Villiers, out Bowled!! Dragged on! Bosch has the last say. He persists with the hard length and gets his reward. Back of a length and around off, De Villiers does not have the room like the previous delivery to play the pull, he's all cramped as he plays the shot and drags it back off the under-edge onto the stumps. Matthew De Villiers b Corbin Bosch 21(15) [4s-3]

Corbin Bosch to Matthew De Villiers, FOUR, that's what Ranjane tried to do first ball. Back of a length and the ball does not bounce much, De Villiers gets into a nice position and nails the pull in front of square, beating a diving deep mid-wicket fielder

Rashid Khan to Matthew De Villiers, FOUR, shot! Wrong 'un that's on the shorter side, De Villiers rides the bounce and cracks it behind square on the off-side. He played that from the off-stump line and the placement was superb
7.3
Rabada to Shubham Ranjane, 1 run, dropped! Rassie has put down a sitter. Rabada should have been on a hat-trick. He's not happy. Fullish delivery at the stumps, Ranjane closes the bat face and the leading edge flies to sweeper cover. Rassie comes in and bends down to take it low, gets both hands but does not hang on

Rabada to Ferreira, out Caught by Rickelton!! Another excellent take. Another massive wicket for MI Cape Town as Ferreira is the in-form batter. He departs with close to 5 overs still remaining. Rabada goes for the hard length and rushes Ferreira on the pull, the top-edge goes towards short fine and Rickelton moves across to his left, keeps his eyes on the ball and hangs on with both hands. It was difficult because there's a mist like cloud hovering above the ground, making things foggy and viewing the ball difficult. Ferreira c Rickelton b Rabada 7(4) [4s-1]

Rabada to Ferreira, FOUR, sloppy from Boult. Short and angled in, Ferreira stays inside the line and pulls backward of square, he gets it past short fine but Boult gets across in the deep, scrambles and makes a hash

Rashid Khan to du Plessis, out Caught by Reeza Hendricks!! Brilliant by Reeza. He's plucked out a stunner to dismiss the dangerous Faf du Plessis. Big wicket from Rashid. Flighted delivery on middle and leg, Faf backs away and does not quite get under the length, lofts it towards long-on and the ball seemed to be sailing over, but Reeza times his jump perfectly, holds on but was going over the rope - so he throws the ball up, goes beyond the rope and comes back in to complete the catch. Faf hangs around as the third umpire checks the catch, it is fine and off he goes. du Plessis c Reeza Hendricks b Rashid Khan 44(21) [4s-7 6s-2]

Boult to du Plessis, FOUR, 4, 4, 6, 4! Faf laying into Boult. Off-pace delivery, but it is short and sits up nicely outside off, Faf waits for it and unleashes a powerful cut in front of square, splitting extra cover and mid-off perfectly

Boult to du Plessis, SIX, Boult overcorrects and Faf was waiting for that. The line is straighter - on off and middle, Faf was expecting that and flicks it with a strong bottom hand over mid-wicket, just clears the rope

Boult to du Plessis, FOUR, back to back fours. Boult not learning. It was the slower ball but the line is outside off, Faf moves across and drills the drive in front of square, beats a diving extra cover and picks up another boundary

Boult to du Plessis, FOUR, crunched! 137ks on a length and angled across, Faf stays leg-side and that gives him the space to open up the off-side field, he drives square of the wicket and starts the final over of the powerplay with a boundary
5
Linde to du Plessis, 1 run, 96ks flatter and sliding in, Faf rocks back and whips it wide of mid-on. It was uppish and the fielder does well to dive to his right and make the stop, he slipped as he was about to throw and that allowed Faf to make his crease comfortably

Linde to du Plessis, SIX, lovely shot! Faf comes down the track, gets to the pitch of the flighted delivery and that allows him to loft it against the spin, lifts it over mid-on and has no problems clearing the rope

Corbin Bosch to Matthew De Villiers, FOUR, another batter who opens his account with a four. This is lovely shot. Nothing much wrong with the delivery. Fullish delivery on off, De Villiers presents the full face of the bat and drives it straight down the ground. He couldn't have got off the mark with a better shot than that

Corbin Bosch to Dian Forrester, out Caught by Rickelton!! Bosch strikes with his first ball. Forrester departs cheaply. Wickets in successive overs for MI Cape Town. They are pulling things back. Nothing but a good length ball angled across, Forrester chases after the drive and all he manages is an outside edge. Simple catch for Rickelton. Dian Forrester c Rickelton b Corbin Bosch 5(3) [4s-1]

Linde to Dian Forrester, FOUR, Forrester is off the mark with a boundary. Drifted across from the left-hander, Forrester had the space to free his hands and he creams the drive in front of square, pierces a packed off-side field

Linde to James Vince, out Caught by Reeza Hendricks!! Linde provides the breakthrough. Big wicket for MI Cape Town as the pair had gotten Super Kings off to a flying start. Once again Vince comes down the track, but Linde saw him coming and slowed it up while also pulling his length back, Vince reaches for the loft and miscues it towards extra cover. Reeza backtracks and hangs onto a good catch. Never easy spotting the white ball under gloomy skies. James Vince c Reeza Hendricks b Linde 15(9) [4s-2 6s-1]

Linde to James Vince, SIX, fabulous shot! Excellent use of the feet. Bit of flight given by Linde and Vince is quick to shimmy down the pitch, gets to the pitch of the ball and smokes it over wide long-on

Rabada to du Plessis, FOUR, fourth in the over. Rabada comes closer and Faf was waiting for it, he shuffles a bit and picks it off his pads, the flick is not middled but comfortably sails over mid-wicket, lands just inside the rope

Rabada to du Plessis, FOUR, neatly done! 143ks on a length and around off, Faf stays leg-side and that allows him to play the back cut, he waits for the ball to come and plays it behind square on the off-side

Rabada to du Plessis, FOUR, shot! Hint of width and that's enough for Faf to pounce. Short of length and outside off, Faf stays leg-side and opens up the off-side field, slaps it over extra cover and picks up the boundary

Rabada to du Plessis, FOUR, lovely shot! Faf shimmies down the wicket, does not quite get to the pitch of the ball but makes room and lofts through the line. He it straight back over and almost sent it the distance

Boult to James Vince, FOUR, poor delivery and Vince helps himself to a boundary. Strays down leg and Vince does not try to overhit the pull, allows the ball to arrive and helps along to the fine leg fence

Boult to James Vince, FOUR, Vince and Super Kings are away. Full and angled across, width on offer and Vince does not mind it is the first ball, reaches for the drive and slices it square past the diving point fielder
