Sisanda Magala 4-0-26-2
Fortuin and Magala took wickets up top to set a near perfect powerplay for the Lions. The Dolphins, like the lions, found support from their valiant middle order. The 60-run partnership between Smith and Zondo gave them a chance but once Magala made the breakthrough, the uphill task only got tougher. The Lions' disciplined death bowling allowed them to keep the Dolphins' tailenders at bay and gives them their first win.
Sisanda Magala is the Player of the Match for his 37(27) and his figures of 4-0-2-26.
Thank you for tuning to the coverage. Stay safe and take care.

Siboto to Smith, 1 run, OUT
Full on the legs, Smith flicks it to mid wicket and charges for two but he's short! He had to come back but the fielder came in quick and threw it just over the stumps. Is that the final nail in the coffin?

Brilliant penultimate over from Magala, leaves 20 for the last over with changes in pace and length. Can there be an unlikely twist in the end?
