Capitals vs Eastern Cape, 6th Match at Centurion, SA20, Jan 14 2023 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Over at Cape Town, the hosts have won the toss and have chosen to field against Super Kings. Check out the action there. Thanks for tuning on here. Goodbye from me, Ekanth, on behalf of Srinidhi, my co-commentator, and our scorers, Thilak and Raghav.
5:07pm: Handshakes and hugs as Capitals complete a comfortable win. It's their batters who set up the win. Parnell got back-to-back wickets in the second over. Smuts hung around but wasn't able to take off, unlike Markram, who made an attractive yet powerful 46. Once he fell, a cluster of wickets loomed but Jansen and Carse added a 60-run stand at over two-a-ball to deny the Capitals a bonus point. Adil Rashid's control and willingness to toss it up brought mixed results. Neesham and Bosch chipped in. Nortje got decent control and was pacy as usual.
Length around off, the slower one sits up. Jansen makes room and slashes through mid-off
Inside edge onto pad, into the ground and then behind the wicket. Keeper comes in quickly. Was a full ball that Jansen tried to slog over midwicket
Length outside off, Jansen looks to bash it with a horizontal bat over wide midwicket. Misses
Slot at the stumps, driven to cover off the back foot
Length on leg, slogged. Goes off the thick-inside edge to deep square leg
Parnell for the final over
Tucks this off the hip to square leg
Full toss outside off is driven through cover. Sunrisers deny Capitals the bonus point. Ball went past the diving cover fielder's left
Sam: "Adil Rashid getting some tonk from his fellow SRH players Markram and Jansen"
Full and wide, underedge takes it to short fine. Throw at the non-striker's end, no direct hit. Would have been safe though
Full on off, french cut goes into the pitch and onto the back of the leg. Pops up more conveniently for the keeper, towards him. Single denied
Length outside off at 125 kph, guided to the left of point
Wide full toss at 144 kph, steered to deep point
Full on middle at 87 kph, swiped across over square leg again. Sunrisers doing their bit to avoid the bonus point.
Tries another time, gets it off the bottom to deep square
Full on middle. Rashid went there because Jansen went across outside off. The batter, nonetheless, slog swept it with control over square leg
Down the pitch, tries to defend the flatter ball. Skews away
Short and wide, it's slow. So Carse has to bend as he slapped it. Got it just past the diving cover fielder
Swing and a miss. Landed wide did the 74 kph ball and turned away sharply, beat the slog sweep
Full ball is drilled to deep midwicket
Bosch drops it. Was a full ball that Jansen tried to launch over midwicket. Got it as far as the deep fielder, dolly dropped
Over 20 • SEC 179/7
Capitals won by 37 runs
