That's it from us today, as Super Giants gain four points to keep the SA20 interesting in its latter parts. But they need more of it from the two remaining games. Anyway, I direct you to our SA20 wrap for all updates and news from the tournament so far. And until tomorrow, it is goodnight and goodbye from Ranjith, Danyal and me, Himanshu!

Quinton de Kock, Super Giants' captain, is the Player of the Match: "It was important to score runs... They put a lot of pressure up front. I feel like I'm best suited at No. 5 as a finisher! Myself and KG have always had battles... It's still a matter of trying to win the game. We still need to two more."

Rashid Khan speaks first: "It was a competitive total, but we were 15-20 short. But the way we bowled in the last 10 overs was good to see... We just have to win the last two games. Every game is like a knockout for us. It was a kind of wicket where we could score 190, but it got harder to bat on with the extra bounce."

Time for the presentations

9.18pm Four points for Super Giants, although they remain at the bottom of the table. They will need a few bonus points to make those immediately above them nervous yet, as they are still one behind the fifth-placed team. The chase was set up by de Kock's 63 and Paul's whirlwind 31, as Breetzke ensured his side went home with a win with a 48* of his own. Hang around for the presentations.

Jansen to Breetzke, SIX runs

flung away over fine leg! Victory for Super Giants in style. Breetzke breezes that away over fine leg for six. Jansen bowled short and just outside leg, as Breetzke was standing with a touch of room. The length and line ended up being just perfect, as he swung that to seal the win

Jansen to Willey, 1 bye

skips down, and they manage just a bye. Full and wide of off, as Willey missed his slash, and they stole a bye nevertheless

W
Rabada to Mulder, OUT

finds long-on to keep adding to the drama! A low full toss on middle - perhaps a result of an attempted yorker - as Mulder's loft finds the fielder. He was deep in the crease there, and the length was fuller than what he would have liked to go after

Rabada to Mulder, FOUR runs

goes over mid-off! Short and outside off, and he swats that while riding the bounce. It was a flat-batted hoick, as he spotted mid-off inside the circle

Jansen to Breetzke, 1 wide

wide outside off. Bowls short, but that rises a bit too high to even beat his attempted ramp

17.5
1
Jansen to Mulder, 1 run

makes room, and Jansen follows to bowl on a good length outside leg. He is cramped for room, as he ends up stabbing to short third. The throw came at the striker's end, with Breetzke's bat getting stuck, even if he was all good in the end after that forced dive

shortish and outside leg. Clipped off his hips to fine leg

Jansen to Breetzke, 1 run

slower ball first up, and ballooned towards long-on on the bounce. He went lofting at this cutter on a length on leg stump, and was safe in the end

Rabada to Klaasen, OUT

gifted to square leg! Rabada cracks the whip. He banged it in short, and at good pace around middle and off. Klaasen looked to pull, but got that on the higher side of the bat. The ball popped up a little high for a simple catch
