MI Cape Town vs Capitals, 27th Match at Centurion, SA20, Jan 31 2025 - Ball by Ball Commentary

On a length and angled across off, fittingly ends the high-scoring affair with a lovely inside-out six over sweeper cover. Pretoria Capitals are out of the tournament. JSK and SEC are through to playoffs

Short and wide of off, follows it and toe-end a pull back to the bowler. Final delivery coming up

Close to the blockhole, fifth stump line, dragged down to long-on for a single

Rams the yorker, tailing away from off, toe-ended it towards short backward square

Sold him a dummy. Slower leg-cutter on a fuller length, he wanted to flog him over midwicket region and ended up getting a leading-edge that goes straight into the hands of the keeper

Around the wicket, full-toss outside off, that is a monstrous six way over deep square and sounded six the moment it connected to the sweet spot. Into the grass banks, nobody can catch that and the fans tumble over each other

Around the wicket, wide yorker, opens the face and steers it to deep third, job well-done by Bosch

Pitched up on off, takes the aerial route, fell short of Rashid at long-off. Cleared the front leg and mowed through the line

Shimmies down leg and gets a slower in-dipper on his pads, whipped in the air square of midwicket, gets back for the second

Slow-pace bumper on middle, slinks back, rotates his shoulders, gets on top of it, adjusts to the slowness really well and pulls it away to vacant long leg area

Over the wicket, yorker outside leg-stump and he'll have to reload this delivery

Cut away the yorker but finds point, only a single

Full-bunger outside off, throws his hands at it and the ball was traveling fast to deep third until a superb valiant effort changed the destined result

Oh, that's smart! Improvisation at its very best, got a full-one again outside off and inverses his stance to flick it past the keeper for a four. Always look great when these shots come off

Near yorker around the line off, opens the face and squirts it out to cover for a run

Effort full-toss way outside outside off, squeezed out to cover

Nabs two more. Full and skidding on from fifth stump, plays it in the V

Goes full again and he connects it to mid-on

Aiming for the wide yorker, close to the quite zone, slugged out to wide mid-off

Over the wicket, low full-toss looping away in the channel, casual waft at it and it's a soft dismissal, guided to point who gets low and swallows it down his waist. the deluge is getting suffocating
