That's it from us from today's game. Thanks for tuning in. On behalf of Ekanth and Binoy George, this is Ashish Pant, signing off. Ciao!

Quinton de Kock , the DSG captain: Quite happy about that result. Just the momentum from the batting, it was about keeping the pressure. We just kept at it. [Morgan-Vilas partnership] It was pretty comfortable. It was a sort of wicket where anything could happen. Dane was a bit unfortunate but he batted really well. [Morgan run out] The run out happened very quickly. It was a big turning point for us. Helped us calm down a bit. [The quick turnaround] It is exciting and tiring at the same point. We have to suck it up and carry on the momentum.

Henrich Klaasen is the Player of the Match: We needed to back our batters and we did that well. [His fifty] It is the first time in a while I have done in Durban. Credit must go to Dwaine, he knows my game, kept me calm and gave me the right options that I pulled off. It is lovely (the crowd). We haven't seen so many people in Kingsmead for a while.

First up, David Miller , the Royals captain: We thought it was going to be slow but it remained a good wicket. We were under the pressure in the PP, but Morgs and Dane Vilas showed partnership is the key. Unfortunately, we lost a few too many wickets. We were off our plans today, and couldn't really stop them. Credit to them; they put us under pressure. It looked a really good wicket, and we were up for the fight. Morgs and Vilas showed a tough fight in the middle.

Presentation time.

5.18pm Durban's Super Giants move to third position on the points table joint with Pretoria capitals. Paarl Royals were in the chase till the time Eoin Morgan was in, but apart from him there was little from the other batters. Dane Vilas did score 44 off 30 balls, but he did not get his timing right for a major part of his innings. Morgan, though played brilliantly for his 37-ball 64. He struck two fours and five sixes, but did not get enough support. Dwaine Pretorius and Reece Topley took five wickets between them to set back Royal's chase. Prenelan Subrayen was excellent in his two overs conceding just ten runs and picking up the wicket of Jason Roy,

19.6
Mulder to Fortuin, no run

Dot to finish or was that a catch? Doesn't matter. Durban's Super Giants win by 27 runs. Very full outside off, he can only jam it back to the bowler. Mulder does the job and helps his team to four important points.

19.5

Mulder to Manack, 1 run

Fuller outside off stump, he looks for a massive hoick, mistimes it to long on

19.4
1
Mulder to Fortuin, 1 run

Similar length ball close to off stump. He gets across and lofts it over covers for a run.

Mannan: "7 bowlers have bowled, and not even one of them is Harmer. That's so wild. SA20 has some exciting teams!"

Mulder to Adams, OUT

Gets his man straight away! On a length well outside off. He was looking to heave it away, but gets it off the outside edge of his blade and deep point runs in to complete a simple catch.

Sam: "The commentators had just remarked how Harmer hadn't bowled a ball... but he effected the run-out in a vital moment."

Topley to Vilas, OUT

Another one or is that a no-ball again? It is a close one again. I think this is fine. Just about. Yep, the third umpire agrees. A full toss on the stumps, he is crouched and helps it to Dala at deep square leg, who catches it and throws it back quickly anticipating a no-ball. But, it is touch and go, and the third umpires goes with the bowler. Dane Vilas is not impressed. That's out, he asks and goes on his way,

Topley to Jones, OUT

High, goes very hiiiigh and Junior Dala, the substitute fielder judges the catch to perfection . A cross-seam length ball on the pads from Topley. He flicks and gets a lot of elevation but not enough distance and the catch is taken at deep square leg.

Evan Jones c sub (CJ Dala) b Topley 0 (1b 0x4 0x6 2m) SR: 0

Evan Jones the new man in. Topley from over the wicket.

Mulder to Morgan, OUT

Oh, that is top work from Mulder and Morgan is run out! Fuller delivery outside off, he drills the drive to extra cover, who fires in a throw on the bounce to the bowler. Wasn't the best of throws, but Mulder does really well to get behind the stumps and take off the bails. Morgan was nowhere in the picture. Is that the game?

Mulder to Morgan, no run

Oh, put down, or should I say he saved four runs> Low full toss outside off, he drills it back to the bowler, who puts out his right hand but the ball does not stick.

Mulder to Morgan, 2 runs

Slower short length ball well outside off. He reaches for it and pulls it behind square to collect a couple of runs.

Length ball but strays down leg. Called a wide.

Mulder to Vilas, 1 run

Gets across to the full-length ball that is very wide. He scoops it straight to square leg.

Mo.: "A 20 plus run over now would make things interesting."

Mulder to Morgan, 1 run

Backs away to the full-length ball and gets a thick inside-edge back onto his pads towards point

Mulder to Morgan, 2 runs

Doesn't get the same kind of connection as he hits the length high but straight to long on. The catch is taken but not counted. They take a couple of runs

Free-hit

Mulder to Morgan, (no ball) SIX runs

Oh, that's a high full toss and Morgan has sent it soaring over deep fine leg! No-ball? The third umpire is checking. It is a close call, but I think it was just over the waist. And, yep, it is called a no-ball.

Royals need 54 off 18. Tough but certainly not impossible. Down to Morgan, I suppose
