Here's a look at the table with a handful of group games left... these teams are back in action against one another on Saturday, and we'll be back with coverage of Paarl Royals vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Cheers!

9.32pm: All over at Centurion after a run-fest. 462 runs including 32 sixes, and MI Cape Town come away with the win - though they will be kicking themselves at having missed a bonus point that looked in no doubt whatsoever with five overs remaining. Ryan Rickelton continued his brilliant hot streak while Dewald Brevis had a welcome return to form, but Kyle Verreynne managed the highest score of both the night and the season with an unbeaten 116 off 52 balls.

Sam Curran to Verreynne, FOUR runs

high full toss, whipped out to deep square leg for four more... they check for the no-ball, but it's deemed legal

Sam Curran to Verreynne, FOUR runs

swung hard, straight down the ground for four more

19.4
6
Sam Curran to Verreynne, SIX runs

slapped over cover, onto the grass bank!

Shyam: "This is why MICT is at the bottom of table. What a way to squander away a bonus point advantage...geez"

Sam Curran to Rashid, 1 run

flashed out to deep cover

Shyam: "@Matt: What do you think of your comment about 198 now?" -- When the facts change, dear boy

19.2
1
Sam Curran to Verreynne, 1 run

worked out to midwicket, and MICT have missed out on the bonus point!

19.1
6
Sam Curran to Verreynne, SIX runs

banged in halfway down, cross-batted over long-on for six! Verreynne has his century, his first in T20 cricket off 48 balls. He's had precious little support from his team-mates but has played a blinder

56 off the last three overs. MICT need this final over to go for six runs or fewer, otherwise they'll miss the bonus point. And there's an extra man in the ring, because it's taken them so long to bowl their overs

Rabada to Rashid, 1 run

slower-ball bouncer, squatted out to square leg

18.2
4
Rabada to Rashid, FOUR runs

oh no... calamitous stuff from MICT in the field. Nudged to mid-off. There's a huge mix-up and Verreynne is stranded at the non-striker's end. Throw bounces over the stumps, then squirms through the legs of the fielder backing up

jumps across, scoops him over short fine leg... carries all the way for six! 23 off the over

17.5
6
Thushara to Verreynne, SIX runs

in the slot, hammered over long-on! MICT need to keep their heads here. Would be a shocker not to come out of this game with a bonus point given how dominant they have been

Thushara to Verreynne, 2 runs

yorker, dug out via the toe to long-off... misfield allows them back for a couple

A few words exchanged between batter and bowler

16.6
N van Heerden to Verreynne, no run

slower ball, inside-edged towards his own stumps... nearly a run-out too, but Rashid sends him back and he makes his ground

16.5
N van Heerden to Verreynne, no run

full and straight, struck in front... but it's a free hit, so no appeal
