Phew! What a game! It wasn't going to be an easy run chase and Sunrisers Eastern Cape sure made it as tough as it could get for MI Cape Town! The home side hasn't had the best of seasons, and their lack of confidence was visible tonight! However, they managed to scratch and scathe their way to victory in the end! 

Reeza Hendricks anchored the innings really well, all be it that he didn't finish it off and left the scene at an interesting time! But, he was the glue of the innings. A couple of important contributions from George Linde and Kieron Pollard, helped immensely in getting to the target. 

Bowling-wise and fielding-wise, it was a pretty good effort! All the bowlers played their part and Tristan Stubbs' captaincy shone through again! But, that front-foot no-ball from Senuran Muthusamy in what was the penultimate ball of the match, didn't help the visitors one bit! 

19.2 Senuran Muthusamy to Corbin Bosch, FREE HIT! MI CAPE TOWN KEEP THEIR HOPES OF REACHING THE PLAYOFFS ALIVE WITH THIS WIN! Flighted on middle-stump. Bosch made room and reached out to swipe it across the line. The ball didn't get middled, and went as far as mid-wicket. But Bosch was off and running to complete the single! The throw to the bowler was good, Muthusamy did take the bails off after collecting it but Bosch by then was well home! 

19.2 Senuran Muthusamy to Kagiso Rabada, full, wide and slow outside off. Rabada lunges forward and bunts it down to long-off for a single again. Oh! It is a front-foot no-ball from Muthusamy at this stage! 1 run to get off 4 balls. 

19.1 Senuran Muthusamy to Corbin Bosch, round the wicket, full and slow on leg-stump. Driven down to long-on off the front foot for a single. 3 runs needed off 5 balls.

18.6 Anrich Nortje to Reeza Hendricks, HUGE WICKET AT THIS STAGE OF THE INNINGS! Full around off-stump at 147 kph. Hendricks scythes it away from the crease but does not get a good piece of it. Deep backward point comes in from the deep, slides and takes a nice catch! 

18.5 Anrich Nortje to Reeza Hendricks, hard length and around off-stump. Hendricks tried to pull that away to deep square-leg but failed to connect. Dot ball! 

18.4 Anrich Nortje to Corbin Bosch, pitched right up on off-stump. Bosch knocks it down to the left of mid-on. But Jansen dives and shies at the stumps but misses out on the direct hit! Bosch runs through for one! 

18.3 Anrich Nortje to Reeza Hendricks, full and a bit wide outside off-stump. Stroked away off the front foot to deep cover point for a single. 

18.2 Anrich Nortje to Reeza Hendricks, good length and slow outside off-stump. Slapped away on the up to the right of deep point for a couple of runs. 

18.1 Anrich Nortje to Reeza Hendricks, good length and on off-stump. Hendricks stays on the back foot and taps it to short cover point for no run. 

17.6 James Coles to Jason Smith, BOWLED HIM! Into the pitch on middle-stump with the arm. The attempted back-cut gets beaten and the middle pole goes for a toss! Still some life left? 

17.5 James Coles to Reeza Hendricks, OHH! ALMOST A RUN OUT! Good length and on the pads. Tucked around to the left of deep square-leg off the back foot. Smith tried to run on a fumble but almost got himself run out with a direct hit at the non-striker's end, looking to get back! 

17.4 James Coles to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR RUNS! Short and wide outside off. Cut away hard and off the back foot to the right of deep cover point. Breetzke's effort to stop the boundary went in vain there!
