Richard Gleeson to Rabada, FOUR, another four. More luck. First inside edge, now outside edge, the ball went away off the outer-edge. Was banged in short, outside off, Rabada looked to pull and got an edge to send it over short third man

Richard Gleeson to Delano Potgieter, FOUR, some luck for MICT and Delano Potgieter. The bowler followed the sticks, Delano Potgieter backed away to drill it and got an inside edge for the ball to roll past the keeper to his right. He dived but failed to stop it. That was a quick and fuller length delivery

Richard Gleeson to Delano Potgieter, no run, dot ball now. Delano Potgieter is having a tough time. Even singles aren't coming for him. Was a short ball, angled away, Delano Potgieter looks to pull it and misses. A review was taken for caught behind and the review has been lost

Marco Jansen to Rabada, 1 run, dropped! Markram can't believe it. That went into another galaxy and came down. Markram was easily under it and dropped it. End result is a single. That was a fuller length delivery, outside off, Rabada launches it down to the ground. The man at long-off dropped it

Marco Jansen to Corbin Bosch, out Caught by Stubbs!! Marco Jansen strikes! Corbin Bosch is gone for a blob as well. MICT losing their way. Fuller ball, outside off, Corbin Bosch looks to drive and gets an edge. The ball went across the batter who failed to use his feet on the drive. 8th one down. SEC have fought back really well here. This is an excellent finish. Corbin Bosch c Stubbs b Marco Jansen 0(2)

Richard Gleeson to Rashid Khan, out Caught by Abell!! Rashid has a rash hit and has to go. Was a short ball, outside off, Rashid Khan looks o fetch that to pull it to be taken to the man at deep mid. Easy take. Was banged in and Rashid Khan tried to use the on-side but failed to time it. The ball went off the top-edge and the fielder settled under it to take it. War of words between Richard Gleeson and Rashid Khan. They had a confab before Rashid started walking again. Expect a charged up Rashid Khan when he comes out later. Gleeson 1, Rashid 0. Rashid Khan c Abell b Richard Gleeson 0(2)R

Richard Gleeson to Delano Potgieter, FOUR, vital four! Fuller ball, at the sticks, Delano Potgieter backed away and drove it wide of the man at cover for a four. That was in the slot and put away with elan

Markram to Connor Esterhuizen, out Caught by Marco Jansen!! Markram has a long stare! He keeps looking at the batter. He didn't like being hit for those massive sixes. That was bowled wider, fuller, Connor Esterhuizen couldn't resist himself and went after it. The ball sliced down to long-off and the man at long-off came in and took it easily. First wicket for Markram. It was turning out to be a bad over. But Markram has mitigated the damage a little with that wicket. Connor Esterhuizen c Marco Jansen b Markram 39(26) [4s-2 6s-2]

Markram to Connor Esterhuizen, FOUR, sits down after walking across, got inside the line of the delivery and sweeps it wide of the man at short fine leg fielder for a four

Markram to Connor Esterhuizen, SIX, wrong move to get in Markram? That was at the sticks, Connor Esterhuizen sat down and slapped the slog sweep over deep mid. That was a solid blow. MICT again clutching back the momentum. So many personnel trying to do their best. Connor Esterhuizen had been quiet all this while. But he is turning it on after the fall of Brevis. He has rare chances in the tourney but has done well. The ball is being located and is taking some time

Markram to Connor Esterhuizen, SIX, and slapper over long-off. Connor Esterhuizen has taken the baton over from Brevis? That was a fuller length delivery, well wide outside off, Connor Esterhuizen got under the ball and slapped it over long-off

Marco Jansen to Brevis, out Caught by Markram!! Cross seam delivery, angled across, Brevis slaps it down to long-off. He mistimed the shot and the fielder came in from long-off to take it. The skipper of SEC took it with elan with a slide. SEC again get the wicket that can cause the difference. Body blow I would say as Brevis was batting superbly. The bat face twisted a little I feel and hence failed to time it. Fifth one down. Jansen picks his first wicket. Brevis c Markram b Marco Jansen 38(18) [4s-2 6s-4]

Marco Jansen to Brevis, FOUR, fifty for the duo! Fuller ball, outside off, Brevis heaves it and the man at sweeper cover came in, got hands to it but the ball escaped his clutches after the dive. The ball was dipping on him and he tried hard but failed. The MI owner is a happy man...

Craig Overton to Brevis, SIX, one-handed sixer. 116 kph, angled in, slower one, Brevis slaps it over deep mid. That went miles and few rows back. That was at the sticks and Brevis played it off one hand to send it over the fence. His 4th sixer today

Simelane to Brevis, FOUR, four more. 26 off 10 for Brevis. He is having a gala time. He is hitting so well. The gaps are being found with ease. Was a short ball, outside off, Brevis slashes it over short third man for a four. Managed to find the gap and placed it despite hitting it uppishly

Simelane to Brevis, SIX, his quick hands is turning the game on its head very quickly. Fuller ball, angled in, Brevis whips the ball over deep mid. That was in the slot and Brevis powered it big. Brevis came in switched on from the dressing room only. Third sixer for Brevis

Dawson to Brevis, SIX, fuller length delivery, outside off, Brevis backs away and drills it over long-off this time. He got under the ball and managed to create the freedom of his arms. He creamed it hugeeeee. Brevis has started his decimation act

Dawson to Brevis, SIX, fuller ball, outside off, Brevis backs away and slaps it over long-on for a sixer. That was a fuller length delivery, fired in, Brevis slaps it over long-on. Massive hit indeed by Brevis

Dawson to Brevis, 1 run, backs away and slaps it down to deep cover for a single as that was dropped short

Dawson to Linde, out Caught by Craig Overton!! One shot too many? Too full, too flat, Linde slaps it hard and the man at long-off almost fumbled the catch but juggled it a little and held on. He was running in and might have overran it a little. Good catch under pressure. Linde was threatening to take the game away from SEC but the defending champions for sure know how to fight back. Massive wicket in the context of the game. It was fun till it lasted. But Linde will have to go. Dawson has two now. He gave away 17 runs in that over. Linde c Craig Overton b Dawson 20(14) [6s-3]

Dawson to Linde, SIX, slapped over long-off! Fastish outside off, 101 kph, Linde gets the room and stays his crease this time to muscle it over long-off. That was once again hit off the meat of the bat. That stayed hit. Second sixer off the over

Dawson to Linde, SIX, straight down the ground for a sixer! Linde has been promoted and he is doing well. Dances down, gets to the pitch of the delivery and slams it down the ground. That was a clean hit. As clean as a whistle. Massive hit. He had to counter the sla of Dawson and so far it seems to be working. The bowler had bowled it wide outside off, the batter got the freedom to free his arms. The use of the feet was the key to the shot

Dawson to Connor Esterhuizen, FOUR, shortish delivery outside off stump, Connor rocks back and cuts, gets it past backward point and gets the boundary they were after

Markram to Linde, SIX, he's played that nicely! Ball is turning away but this was too full so killed all the spin. Muscled high and down the ground over long-on

Dawson to van der Dussen, out Stumped!! Liam Dawson, you absolute beauty! MICT are mainly top-heavy with the bat as they have been doing the bulk of scoring and he's just outsmarted their key batter by bowling wide of the stumps. RvD put his dancing shoes on for an aggressive step down the pitch. He left a tad too early and Dawson was alert to the batter's actions. He pushed this wider and shorter. RvD tried to adjust and go close to the line of the ball to defend but it spun away and Stubbs just made a mess of those stumps. van der Dussen st Stubbs b Dawson 23(25) [6s-2]

Richard Gleeson to Reeza Hendricks, out Caught by Simelane!! What change of fortunes for the Sunrisers. And how did they manufacture this wicket? There was a deep backward point and how often have you seen a batter play a front foot drive and get a thick outside edge that goes straight to the man who is stationed very differently from the usual. Hats off if this was part of a strategy to get that fielder there. Was an absolute slot ball, Reeza will feel so hard done by because that was asking for a drive. He obliged but the ball just flew off the edge and went to hand. Reeza Hendricks c Simelane b Richard Gleeson 0(2)

Craig Overton to Rickelton, out Caught by Dawson!! The defending champs hit back in style. Full credit to Markram for not changing Craig Overton and giving him the third over. Rickelton backed away early to go big but Overton smartly took pace off and cramped him for room while also ensuring it wasn't a slot ball. Wasn't full, wasn't short and an off balance Rickelton couldn't handle that shot as he tried to loft over the infield and ended up chipping it straight to mid-off. Rickelton did back away to free the arms but he couldn't place it past mid-off or change his shot. Rickelton c Dawson b Craig Overton 33(15) [4s-1 6s-4]

Craig Overton to Rickelton, 2 runs, slower delivery, Rickelton clips it wide of mid-on and they raise the team fifty inside 5 overs

Craig Overton to van der Dussen, SIX, there is the one-legged smack from RvD. Steps out, again puts Craig Overton off his radar, gets a length slot ball and just dismisses that over mid-wicket

Marco Jansen to Rickelton, SIX, Marco Jansen, who has been the main bowler for the Sunrisers, is being taken to the cleaners on the big night. Jansen has had great control over his lines and lengths all season but today, he's been all over the place. Was so unlucky last over, but this over he's offered hit me ball. Another one on the pads and whipped over long leg

Marco Jansen to Rickelton, SIX, he's just muscled that out of sight! Length delivery on the stumps, absolute slot and soon the seam movement will disappear so Rickelton puts on a bold face, holds the shape while swinging across the line and he nailed that slog over wide long-on

Craig Overton to van der Dussen, SIX, this is brilliant from RvD! He was either walking or backing away. He knows he will be a sitting duck if he lets Craig Overton hit a zone with the ball moving both ways. Overton had to forget the stumps and follow him, thank you very much said RvD and picked it up off his pads for a maximum over long leg

Marco Jansen to Rickelton, SIX, it's yet another wild swing across the line and yet another edge that's flown over the ropes. Short delivery, Rickelton in no position to pull because of the steep climb. He had no control over the shot. It's been that kind of luck for him this over and he's chancing his arm. 17 off the over. First two overs to MICT in difficult conditions

Marco Jansen to Rickelton, SIX, he's just riding his luck at the moment. The ball is moving around so he doesn't want to let Marco Jansen settle. Plays a slog-pull to this short of length delivery, thick outside edge flies fine and to the right of the third man fielder

Marco Jansen to Rickelton, FOUR, that's in the air but he's cleared the infield! Proper mishit though. Couldn't control the bounce on this length delivery, managed to loft despite being hit high on the bat. Went between mid-off and mid-on
