clubbed through the hands of long-off! It was Ferreira under it again, but this was a far more casual effort. Might have just cleared him - but a good way for Capitals to sign off, either way, after a struggle with the bat
Capitals vs Super Kings, 10th Match at Johannesburg, SA20, Jan 16 2025 - Ball by Ball Commentary
7.06pm: JSK the happier after that, you'd think. They opted to bowl, despite fielding a patched-up attack, and made regular breakthroughs to prevent Capitals building any momentum. You'd fancy them to chase 139, whether or not there's any rain around. Here are the thoughts of Moeen Ali at halfway: "They started quite well, we knew there was a bit of spin in the wicket and we could drag it back. The plan was not go for too many runs and the wickets would come. My first game, to come in and bowl - sometimes when it's spinning it can be harder. You never know, it's a score at the end of the day. Hopefully we can get a partnership and win it." Matt will be back for the restart shortly
fired in full and squeezed out into the leg side for one
Eathan Bosch strides in
hacked off a length, plucked from the sky! Brilliant work from Ferreira to send back Muthusamy. He didn't time the shot down the ground but seemed to have got just about enough of it. Ferreira, though, turned and flung up a hand to reel it in
over the wicket, pitched up in the channel outside off stump. Muthusamy was across early looking to ramp, but can't connect
full and straight, swung away into the leg side
round the wicket, full at leg stump... nutmegs the batter, and just misses the woodwork!
Last over, Hardus Viljoen to bowl it
low full toss, pace off again. Muthusamy plinks it back over the bowler's head for a couple
goes full at the stumps as Pretorius shimmes across. Another slower ball, worked to short fine leg
on a length angling across, 125kph. Muthusamy swipes a top edge down to third on the bounce
pace off in the channel, swing and a miss this time
full, wide and crashed over mid-off! Sipamla overpitches, room for Muthusamy to free the arms - and he gets a solid connection to clear the infield
good length on the stumps, 116kph change-up. Clipped out to deep square leg
Two overs left, Sipamla back for a second
sliced away through short third
pitched up, 129kph and punched through cover point
130kph, skiddy length into the pads, nurdled for one
Migael Pretorius is in at No. 9
bouncer, nicked behind! A helpless Livingstone is put out of his misery. He was moving across again, tried to take on the short ball but only managed a feather behind. Livingstone then walks off straight into a cameraman, which says something about how he has gone today
full, just misses leg stump! Livingstone had gone a long way across... and wants a wide. Umpire not having it
round the wicket, low full toss, blasted down the ground! Livingstone finally gets away his first boundary with a brutal straight smack
Three overs to come. Wiese to bowl his final one
"Livingstone is struggling but can't retire him out because of his potential to catch up with his explosiveness." And especially now Capitals are running out of alternatives, Afeef
speared in and skewed to short third! Ferreira gets another as Capitals lose their sixth. A handy cameo from Neesham, but he completely miscued this looking to belt the ball leg side, a big leading edge taken inside the ring
beats him looking to reverse again, Bairstow then whips off the bails... They'll check this, but the foot was behind the line
