Cricinfo’s Most Valuable Players of the Match
10:05pm That's it from us for Match 2. Do join us tomorrow as Paarl Royals take on last season's finalists Pretoria Capitals. Until then, this is goodbye from me, Chandan and Sudeep. Take care, folks!
10pm Phew. What a game it was. Until it lasted, of course. MICT set the early pace, courtesy of Rickelton and then finished things off in style with Pollard turning back the clock. DSG did not get off to as good a start, but started finding their feet once Klaasen arrived at the crease.
He smashed the ball to all parts en-route a 35-ball 85, and while he did perish just before the rain arrived, he had put the game beyond MICT and taken DSG past the DLS par score. Klaasen hit eight sixes in total, and it meant that Rickelton, whose six sixes was the bedrock of his 51-ball 87, went in vain.
9:55pm Uh-oh, It's not the news we were looking for. The game has officially been called off, and DSG have won by 11 runs (DLS method). A shame we could not get the finish this match deserved Klaasen did more than enough before rain played spoilsport.
9:30pm Nothing new to report, unfortunately. The intensity of the downpour has reduced but it continues to drizzle. There is a fair bit of water on the covers too, which will need mopping up. A 60-minute buffer is in place before we start losing overs, although half of that might have already been consumed.
9:07pm The rain seems to have gained intensity all of a sudden and Shaun Pollock, on commentary, mentions that this could stick around because there is no breeze to blow it away. All we can do for now is wait...
9:04pm The rain has gotten heavier, and the players are coming off. DSG are ahead of the DLS par score, which, after 16.3 overs is 166. The ground staff have covered the pitch in a jiffy and now a bigger cover is being brought on to protect the square.

85 off 35. What an innings by Klaasen, and it has brought DSG very close to victory. The door, though, has been left slightly ajar for MICT, and they will hope they can barge through

W
Rabada to Klaasen, OUT
is that the end of Klaasen's innings?! Yes, it is. What an anti-climax! Thigh-high full toss at the stumps. Klaasen backs away and tries to go downtown. Shanks it completely, though, and hits it straight down Curran's throat at long off. 99 times out of 100, Klaasen would have hit that into next week. But on this occasion, he could not, and it has brought MICT back into the game!

Rabada to Klaasen, 2 runs
goes high up, and falls just short of Livingstone at deep mid wicket! Hard length on middle and leg. Gets big on Klaasen and he cloths his pull. Livingstone is stretching every muscle to get there but just cannot do so!

Rabada to Klaasen, SIX runs
stop Klaasen if you can! Full toss on leg stump and guess what happens to those - they go miles. Klaasen steps outside leg to create room and clatters it over deep square leg!
Maharaj has the pads on, and that is great news for DSG

45 needed off 30 now, and with Klaasen at the crease, this is looking like DSG's game to lose from here. A wicket, however, will change things, especially if Klaasen were to perish. Here is Rabada

Livingstone to Pooran, OUT
Pooran picks out long off! Full outside off and Pooran thinks he can match Klaasen stroke for stroke. The shot is on but Pooran just does not get enough hang time to get it over long off. A simple enough catch for Esterhuizen, and there is a hush all around Kingsmead!
