Thanks for joining us. Great to have your continue. The second game of the night comes from Cape Town shortly. Do join us for that. Cheers
Time for the presentation
AB de Villiers: We've got three home games in a row, so have an opportunity to get some momentum. Nothing wrong with our team, we were outplayed in the big moments, but we will bounce back. This league is very exciting, watched it on TV last night, exciting to watch it in the team room. The fans are enjoying it, the overseas players have, I believe this is a superb league.
Albie Morkel: We were behind the run rate, with the rain, I knew I had to make them pay. Wicket stayed true right throughout the game. I think this was a much-better game for us, we were outstanding on the field, little bit of a nervous chase but I'm not too worried.
Player of the Match: Kyle Abbott for his 4 for 27.
"Once the first game was out of the way, was relaxed for the last couple of days. Had a good lead-up coming into the game. To get AB de Villiers early was great for us. We executed plans well superbly tonight, I was lucky to pick wickets at one end. Fielding and catching is a big part of our training regime, we didn't do too well in the first game, so it's pleasing to have been able to do it well tonight. We played a perfect game, work ethic leading up to the competition has been excellent. Hopefully we can carry that forward."
Final confirmation then that the match has been called off. Durban Heat win. Their first in the competition.
5.20pm It has started to rain heavily, more covers being brought in.
5.13pm They're going off the field and the covers are coming off. If they don't come back on, Durban Heat will pocket four points on virtue of being well ahead on the DLS. Almost all of them seem to have papers in their pockets. Skies look dark and grey, but it's not really coming down hard, so there's hope of a resumption. Let's see.

Sipamla to Morkel, OUT
through with the pull, played too early and the off bail goes for a walk. But is this a little too late for Spartans?

Sipamla to Morkel, FOUR runs
pulled but not in control but enough to beat mid-on and race away to the short boundary towards long-on. This is turning into a cruise
15.3
W
Sipamla to Zondo, OUT
has picked out fine leg via the top-edged pull. Zondo's played a good hand. That said, this is also an excellent catch be cause the fielder running in was on the move. Mendis didn't allow that to hamper him.

width and he belts this cut to the point boundary. It's all fall apart for the Spartans. This is poor field placement, even poorer bowling. At 125 clicks, you can't dream of banging the ball in short.

too short, sitting up for him and Morkel launches him into the stands at deep midwicket, the one I call the Yuvraj corner. Poor bowling
