Sunrisers vs MI Cape Town, 26th Match at Cape Town, SA20, Jan 16 2026 - Match Result

Pushed down on a length with no pace on middle, he creates room and backs away a lot, pulled to midwicket and dashes across to the other end, eked out a win by the barest of margin

Oversteps and that's a cardinal sin at this stage of the game. Pitched up outside off, he forehands it down to long-off

Players in the dugout are feeling the heat, you can cut the tension with a knife. Floated from around and skidded on, outside off, pushed to long-off

drops the pace and the change in pace works like a charm, length-ish ball floating in the corridor outside off, throws his bat at it and taken by the man at deep cover, flashed the cut but sent straight to Van Buuren - the sub. Now then, where is this game heading?

Useful dot. That leapt insanely off the deck in the channel, shorter thunderbolt flying away in the corridor, tries a swivel pull, beaten by the pace and searing bounce

Pitched up and gets it to deviate in a touch at middle, punched to mid-on and it's a dicey call for a run, Jansen with a throw and it naturally took him a long time to fetch the ball, 147 kph btw

On a length just outside off, drives it crisply to sweeper cover for a single

Bit short and more room, slapped on the rise to deep cover and the fielder covers a lot of ground running to his right, nabs two more, only a hit away from the victory

Over the wicket, shorter in length, line is outside off, cuts it to point

Doesn't matter, he takes matters in his own hands and the dreadful rattle means he has to go back tot he pavillion. Shortish ball curling back at middle, he went leg-side to cut and got bowled. With hopes low and exit from the tournament guaranteed, it might have made them bogged down and the low spirits could be a factor why they are in a bit of a bother here

Back of a length at middle and leg, worked to deep midwicket's right, wanted another, a direct hit from Hermann would have seen the back of Smith, throw not on target

Slammed! That will make the equation easier, lots of revs, bowls it short and gets it to spin a little outside off, had the room and he clatters it insolently into he gap at cover-point for a four

Pulls his length back, some width available, thwacks a cut to deep point

Loaded on a fuller length into the toes, flicked to short midwicket

Around the wicket, shorter and skidding on at middle, worked to deep midwicket for a single

Stesp to the leg-side and he bowls a teasing shortish ball that slid across off, he reaches out and he launches the ball flat and hard to Stubbs at long-off. Giving a sniff to Sunrisers, let's see if there's any twist left in this game. Closed face and bit of toe-end, got top-spin to contend

Floated on middle and leg, down on one knee and brings the broom out, plays a yawning sweep to deep backward square, 15 away from a comfortable win

Lobbed up and skidding on off a length, pulls his length. back a wee bit, stays deep and punches it to cover

That has been knocked out of the park! Typical Pollard Power! Shorter and skidding on towards him as he steps leg-side, heaved over the top and into the aisles

Tossed up on a tight off-stump line, squirts away to deep third, Nortje with a terrific dive and has stopped a certain four, full commitment
