- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 taken at mid-on! Behardien lunges to his right and falls over to make up for the momentum. Full ball at middle stump, wants to slog it over mid-on but the bat turns in his hand and he doesn't get the timing right. A sharp catch from the captain 15/115.2 taken at long-on! Won't get the third consecutive hundred, but it's another super innings from Hendricks. Miscues this slog. It was full outside off, not dissimilar from the last ball. But he couldn't get elevation this time because it came off the inside half. Long-on holds on to his right 135/216.1 full and in at the stumps. Looks to drive this into the stands straight, but it's off the bottom of the bat. Nawaz gets under it at long-on and takes to his left 144/317.4 taken by deep square. Full toss, about thigh height and on middle and leg. Wants to pump this far into the leg side but he ends up slicing it high. Asif Ali fumbles but takes on the third attempt 162/4Extras14 (b 5, lb 4, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL196/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.8)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Chris Gayle, 3.4 ov), 2-135 (Reeza Hendricks, 15.2 ov), 3-144 (Rassie van der Dussen, 16.1 ov), 4-162 (Dan Christian, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5 straight to deep square. Length ball climbs into his body and he swings with it. Drifts to the left of deep square but he holds on to the flat catch 35/115.5 slower ball, full and drifted in at middle stump. Shuffles across and looks to whip this square on the leg side. It's a legcutter that deviates towards off stump. He's struck right in front of middle. No escaping that. End of a scratchy innings 111/58.4 straight to deep midwicket, this pull. Slower short ball outside off. Gets a nice connection on the pull off the front foot, but there's barely any elevation on this. Taken well inside the boundary 57/212.1 taken at short fine! Behardien is surprised by the bouncer and is in terrible position for the hook. It climbs up at his chest and he's flailing under it. Lobbed to the fielder 78/313.4 inside edge onto middle stump. That is superb bowling. A slower ball dipping at a length outside off. Asif Ali lines up and gives it a mighty heave to try and clear midwicket. But he's dragging from well outside off and hasn't picked the slower ball either. Big inside edge and he's done as the rain gets heavier 89/417.4 full on off stump, gets the front leg into the leg side and lofts this inside-out. Long-off moves a couple of yards to his right and holds on 129/618.4 fine leg runs in and takes this. Another superbly directed bouncer from Olivier. Climbs up at the throat and he's trying to get out of the way and hook at the same time. Top edge hangs up to fine leg's left and he takes it low 139/817.5 straight to extra cover. Full slower ball just outside off. Loops up into his driving area but he's done by pace. Chips it straight to the fielder and Christian is on a hat-trick 129/718.5 what a sight! Middle stump is absolutely smashed. It's a yorker, Steyn backs away to try and hit through the off side, but doesn't get any bat on that. 139/919.4 lobbed to the keeper off the leading edge. Slower ball at a length just outside off, he looks to play the reverse sweep and can't get it away. That is a bonus point win for Jozi Stars 146/10Extras11 (b 2, w 9)TOTAL146 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 7.42)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Quinton de Kock, 4.6 ov), 2-57 (Dawid Malan, 8.4 ov), 3-78 (Farhaan Behardien, 12.1 ov), 4-89 (Asif Ali, 13.4 ov), 5-111 (Janneman Malan, 15.5 ov), 6-129 (Andile Phehlukwayo, 17.4 ov), 7-129 (Mohammad Nawaz, 17.5 ov), 8-139 (Kyle Verreynne, 18.4 ov), 9-139 (Dale Steyn, 18.5 ov), 10-146 (Malusi Siboto, 19.4 ov)
