6.35pm: Well, this was a no-contest. Perhaps to be expected, when first in the table takes on fifth - but MICT had made seven changes for this, the final game of the group stage. The understudies all played their part, Dane Piedt and Thomas Kaber each taking three-fors after the home side had rumbled past 200 on the back of a century opening stand. Capitals were already out, and MICT already qualified in top spot... but we had some fun, didn't we? That's a wrap from Newlands. And it wasn't the biggest mismatch of the day, either. Thanks for your comments, we'll be back for the playoffs, MICT in action again for the Qualifier on Tuesday. See you again for that. Bye!

W
Kaber to Behrendorff, OUT

top-edged and taken! MICT win by 95 runs! Behrendorff finally runs up the white flag for Pretoria Capitals, hoicking across the line to be caught at backward point. Linde plunges forward to hold on, and that's yer lot

spins away outside off

12.3
2
Piedt to Boast, 2 runs

carrom ball on the pads, worked through the leg side... and some shoddy work in the deep allows them to come back for two

1
Piedt to Behrendorff, 1 run

floated up wide of the stumps, 81kph. Punched out to the cover sweeper

Jason Behrendorff is in at No. 10

W
Piedt to Neesham, OUT

superbly held on the deep midwicket rope! Neesham crunches a slog-sweep into the Cape Town sky, but Potts is under it, takes the ball one-handed over his head and then lobs it back up as he steps over the rope before calmly completing the catch. Third of the night for Piedt, and a thumping defeat looms for Capitals

James Neesham c Potts b Piedt 32 (24b 1x4 3x6 31m) SR: 133.33

Piedt for his fourth

11.1
W
Brevis to Muthusamy, OUT

dragged down... and slapped to deep midwicket! Brevis is cock-a-hoop as he strikes with his first ball. Muthusamy hauled the ball into the leg side but picks out the fielder. Capitals making an undignified exit from the competition here

Senuran Muthusamy c sub (RR Hendricks) b Brevis 7 (8b 0x4 0x6 10m) SR: 87.5

Hello. Dewald Brevis is going to bowl. Perhaps this is what he's in the side for?
