high full toss, whipped out to deep square leg for four more... they check for the no-ball, but it's deemed legal
MI Cape Town vs Capitals, 26th Match at Centurion, SA20, Feb 01 2024 - Match Result
Here's a look at the table with a handful of group games left... these teams are back in action against one another on Saturday, and we'll be back with coverage of Paarl Royals vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Cheers!
9.32pm: All over at Centurion after a run-fest. 462 runs including 32 sixes, and MI Cape Town come away with the win - though they will be kicking themselves at having missed a bonus point that looked in no doubt whatsoever with five overs remaining. Ryan Rickelton continued his brilliant hot streak while Dewald Brevis had a welcome return to form, but Kyle Verreynne managed the highest score of both the night and the season with an unbeaten 116 off 52 balls.
swung hard, straight down the ground for four more
slapped over cover, onto the grass bank!
Shyam: "This is why MICT is at the bottom of table. What a way to squander away a bonus point advantage...geez"
flashed out to deep cover
Shyam: "@Matt: What do you think of your comment about 198 now?" -- When the facts change, dear boy
worked out to midwicket, and MICT have missed out on the bonus point!
banged in halfway down, cross-batted over long-on for six! Verreynne has his century, his first in T20 cricket off 48 balls. He's had precious little support from his team-mates but has played a blinder
56 off the last three overs. MICT need this final over to go for six runs or fewer, otherwise they'll miss the bonus point. And there's an extra man in the ring, because it's taken them so long to bowl their overs
tip-and-run to mid-off to retain the strike for the final over
another full toss, spanked away through cover for four more!
full toss, slapped through extra cover for four!
slower-ball bouncer, squatted out to square leg
oh no... calamitous stuff from MICT in the field. Nudged to mid-off. There's a huge mix-up and Verreynne is stranded at the non-striker's end. Throw bounces over the stumps, then squirms through the legs of the fielder backing up
low full toss, clipped off the pads for four
jumps across, scoops him over short fine leg... carries all the way for six! 23 off the over
in the slot, hammered over long-on! MICT need to keep their heads here. Would be a shocker not to come out of this game with a bonus point given how dominant they have been
yorker, dug out via the toe to long-off... misfield allows them back for a couple
banged in halfway down, Verreynne cross-bats him back over his head for six
hacked leg-side, down to long-on
yorker, toe-ended to short cover
A few words exchanged between batter and bowler
slower ball, inside-edged towards his own stumps... nearly a run-out too, but Rashid sends him back and he makes his ground
full and straight, struck in front... but it's a free hit, so no appeal
