All over! Buttler finishes off with a four, and Paarl Royals get on the board, with a bonus point, no less! Back of a length outside off, he backs away and thrashes the slower ball over mid-off. The ball trickles to the fence.

Cricinfo’s Most Valuable Players of the Match
4.32pm Excellent comeback from Royals, who take the bonus point and rise up on the points table. Super Kings have a few top order issues to solve, and that might involve Faf du Plessis going back to the opening spot. That's it from this game, but we are done yet. Not long before MI Cape Town take on Durban's Super Giants and Shashwat Kumar has fired up the comms. I am signing off, though. Have a good evening, everyone. Ciao!
David Miller: Coming back from the loss, but the guys were up for it, and they got to a great start. They were clinical in the backend. To get the bonus point was great. Thought of giving an extra over to Lungi. We were ahead of the game, and wanted to put the pressure on. We had the bowlers to sort the death bowling. There are always decisions that are 50-50. It is about trusting our instincts. It is about committing your instincts, and the bowlers helped us. [On the chase] We never discussed anything. Eighty is a niggly total. The guys know their roles, and we got to a good start.
Bjorn Fortuin is the Player of the Match: Pretty special; our last game wasn't ideal, we had to bounce back and we did that. [Opening the bowling] It is quite high-risk, high-reward. It does present opportunities to pick wickets. The conditions played into our hands and we made good use of it today.
First up, Faf du Plessis: Disappointed with the start, that's stating the obvious. There was nice pace, and the bowlers got the ball to come through nicely early. The conditions got better in the second innings, but the score was way lower. Assessing the wickets is the most important thing, but it is about giving us a bit more time. We have not done it two games in a row. There were a few soft dismissals, but I think, we need to buck up. [On going at the top of the order] Just felt maybe Janneman needs an opening spot more than I do. It's something we have scratched our heads long enough, and we might go back.
Time for presentation.
4.12pm Paarl Royals had conceded a bonus point in their opening game, they make sure they get on board with one. Top performance from them. A win that was thoroughly set up by the bowlers, who blew Super Kings for 81. The batters then, led by Jos Buttler, came out all guns firing to make light work of the chase. Jason Roy fell early, but Wihan Lubbe and Buttler kept them going. David Miller then came out, smashed a six to get to 9000 T20 runs before Buttler sealed the win by seven wickets.

Banged in short, was the slower ball into the pitch. He gets inside the line, looking for the pull. Misses, and that is not called a wide.

Phangiso to Vilas, OUT
Steps down the track, gets a lot of height but enough distance as long on pouches a simple catch! Tossed up nicely from Phangiso on middle, he looks to get under it but isn't anywhere near the pitch. He does not get the desired connection and Shepherd takes a simple catch.
