Get Ball by Ball Commentary of Paarl Rocks vs Jozi Stars, Mzansi Super League 2018, 5th Match

Time for the presentation:

Ryan Rickelton is the Man of the Match: I was a bit unsure what the wicket was going to play like, initially I thought 160-170. Originally our target was 180 and then Dan launched a few out of the park to set it up very well. (Duminy) is not the first who's said that before (to compare me with de Kock). It's not anything I try to copy, it's just the way I hold the bat.

Henry Davids: We didn't execute too well, especially in the first few overs (while bowling)and it went away from us. Chasing 10-11 an over is always tough and we lost too many wickets.

Dane Vilas: Everyone performed well here after that first game. It's also great to get that bonus point.

And with that bonus point, Jozi Stars have jumped from bottom place to second by winning only the one match out of two they have played so far. Lots of matches still to go, we'll bring you live action from all of those, the next between Durban Heat and Tshwane Spartans on Wednesday night. Until then, it's Vishal Dikshit and Liam Brickhill signing off, goodbye and good luck!

10.13pm A clinical win for joss Stars, thanks to their openers and the spinners. Handshakes all around between the two teams after that one-sided game. It was only briefly that Henry Davids' inside-out drives gave Paarl Rocks some hopes in this steep chase, but once he was gone for 60, their chances slipped immediately. Stars' opening bowlers bowled good pace to begin with and their spinners, especially Leie, bowled a mix of flight and quicker deliveries to leave the batsmen guessing. The six wickets between him and Simon Harmer did a lot of damage for the visitors.

Earlier, it was the opening stand between Ryan Rickelton and Rassie van der Dussen set up a massive total of 209 and it was too much even on this short ground and flat wicket.

Duanne Olivier: It was very good, we batted very well thanks to the top order and then Dan [Christian] at the end. It was brilliant from our bowling attack. I tried to bowl as simple and fast as possible.
