10pm Right. That will be that from us for this game. But the action does not stop in the SA20. In fact, we have two games tomorrow. Do join us for both matches tomorrow, with MI Cape Town, Joburg Super Kings, Paarl Royals and Durban's Super Giants all in action. Until then, this is me (Shashwat) signing off on behalf of Ranjith. Goodbye, goodnight and take care!

9:55pm A fairly comfortable victory for the Capitals in the end. They produced a superb batting effort, which was then backed up by an equally impressive bowling display. Nortje, in particular, breathed fire throughout his spell and caused the Sunrisers all sorts of problems with his sheer pace. The hosts could have batted better but take nothing away from what was a clinical bowling performance.

Speaking of the Sunrisers, well, they would be largely unhappy with how this game panned out. Apart from Smuts' fifty, and a brief rear-guard action by Abell, Fuller and Stubbs, there was not much to shout home about. This could, in all likelihood, be their strongest eleven too, meaning that they will have to figure out a way to make better use of their resources moving forward.

Nortje to Fuller, 1 run

back of a length delivery on off stump that hurries onto the batter. Fuller splices it towards long on and is content with the single. Abell, though, is not. He hares half-way down the track and is then sent back. Just about makes his ground.

Neesham to Fuller, no run

back of a length delivery just outside off stump. Fuller has an agricultural hack across the line and only connects with fresh air

17.4
1
Neesham to Abell, 1 run

slanted into the batter's pads again. Abell looks to go downtown but only gets it as far as the keeper - that too via a combination of inside edge and pad. Salt has a shy at the stumps too and Fuller would have been out had he hit

Rashid to Fuller, 2 runs

full delivery on middle and leg stump. Fuller has a yahoo across the line and mistimes it so badly that it does not even reach long on. In fact, it lands right between long on and long off

Fuller joins Abell

Rashid to Smuts, OUT

Rashid gets Smuts! Quicker and flatter outside off stump again. Smuts looks to go leg side but the angle is always against him. In the end, he slices it straight to backward point, where Bosch makes no mistake!
