Pretoria Capitals, in the second game of the evening, will bowl first against Joburg Super Kings. Catch it there, thanks for tuning in. On behalf of Danyal and Raghav, I'm Ekanth. See ya!

Marco Jansen, POTM: Obviously, didn't think it'd turn out the way it did but I'm happy it did. (On being asked whether the knock at the SCG built confidence) Definitely, whether it's red ball or white ball, I think if you spend time at the wicket, it will give you confidence. (On him getting the better of Rashid) Well, it's only one day (laughs), but he's a world-class bowler. Luckily, today, it went my way. (On being asked if he targeted Rashid) At that stage, we had to make a plan, we had to pick one bowler. After the first ball went for six, I just decided to see what happens and try and go with it. [On the MarKohli flat-bat shot off Rabada (16.6)] I don't know what happened there, I just told myself, "just look at the ball", and if it's there, just go with it.

syed: "Hatssssssssss offffffffffffffffffffff what a inning by *MARKOHLI* Jansen..... best ever show by a pacer against Mr, Rashid Khan best in the business "

Jack: "Pat Cummins in IPL, Marco Jansen today.. MI and heartbreaks "

Yugeesha Bimsar: "While I was absolutely blown away by the Marco Jansen innings, it was be added that Rashid and Curran has been well below par in the tournament till date. Essentially with all the hype around the bowling attack, Rashid and Curran have really got a hammering…"

5pm: Okay, it's over. Take a breath, a few deep ones, one at a time. Unless the excitement is still high, scream your lungs out, that was amazing! Jansen was MarKohli, MarBradman, MarRussell, everything you could have imagined and more some! His slog sweeps to Rashid, that straight shot off Rabada, the smart maneuvering against Archer, everything was sensational. He couldn't finish it off but deserves to all the praise for his hitting. Archer was amazing with the ball early on, Potgieter and Smith got 23 off MI Cape Town's final over but all that matters is that it's Marco Jansen's world and we're living in it.

Sam Curran to Magala, (no ball)

Clipped. Straight to midwicket. Dot! Full on leg. No! Sam Curran's overstepped! Van Der Merwe is in delight as he high-fives Magala. Replays confirm the foot was over the line.

All fielders up, just deep forward square leg out

Noor: "Regardless of the result, this innings of Jansen has to be one of the best in T20 franchise history. To make these many runs against Rabada, Archer, Rashid Khan when your side needs 70 to win off the last 6 overs. Wow just wow."

Afeef: "One of the best T20 knocks I've seen in recent times. Smashing Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada in a tense chase, simply sensational."

19.3
Sam Curran to Magala, no run

Short, Magala sways to the leg side. Lets it go, goes around head height. Not a wide.

Scores tied. One off four

luke: "van de merwe executed well the orders from the dressing room, just give the strike to Markohli Jansen"

Rabada to Jansen, OUT

Slower one knocks over Jansen! In the slot, at the stumps. Jansen's eyes lit up, went back in the crease and tried to slog it over midwicket. Misses. He's annoyed as he walks back but he's lit up the stadium in sunshine. He's toppled sense to deliver a special innings that can delight technicians and innovators alike. Leaves with four needed off six.

Lol. Jansen's just driven this low full toss on one knee with a high elbow like he was a classical artist born to do it.

Rabada to Carse, OUT

Pulled in the air, Archer runs across at deep midwicket, takes it! Slower one into the wicket, Carse cleared his front leg and looked to hit it as hard as possible. Got it off the edge, went up. Archer charged to his right and took it with a slide

Fullish ball at the stumps, blocked in front

Sunak: "That six was a carbon copy of Kohli's against Rauf in the T20 World cup. Wow!"

Archer to Carse, 1 run

Bottom edge into the off side, single stolen. Archer is miffed. Was slow on a back of length outside off, 109 kph, Carse tried cutting it. Got it towards point, they charged early

Rahul: "Very poor from Rashid, captain's ego cost the match for IM. Smith should have bowled that over."

17.4

Archer to Jansen, 1 run

Full outside off, driven to long-off. Very clever batting as KP says on air. They're milking Archer, the twos have given them the cushion too

17.3

Archer to Jansen, 2 runs

Again, sees the slower one on a length at 120 kph. Waits, goes back and nurdles it to the acreage at midwicket. Two taken, fifty partnership up. Difference between runs and balls just five

Archer to Jansen, 2 runs

Tucks it to midwicket, reaches fifty! Raises his bat after charging for two. First fifty in T20 cricket.

Rabada to Jansen, SIX runs

MarKohli Jansen flat bats it, goes over long-on for a 79-metre six! Banged in on a back of length just outside off, Jansen made a bit of room and slapped it, held his shape! What a hit, he's on 49 off just 19!

16.5

Rabada to Jansen, FOUR runs

Overpitched, Jansen clears the front leg. Whacks a flick off the bottom of the bat, but powered well enough to get a boundary through midwicket

conrad: "The win probability took a massive nosedive after that over "

16.4
Rabada to Jansen, no run

Slaps the length ball outside off to cover.
