That's it from us today, with Super Kings making it to the semi-final, alongside Pretoria Capitals. But you can hop over to the action between Durban's Super Giants and Capitals, as we bid you goodbye from this game. Thanks for your company!
Faf du Plessis is the Player of the Match
5.07pm Only two batters from both teams' top eight entered double figures - which summed their batting as much as the challenge that this slowish pitch presented - as du Plessis' 92 overshadowed them all. Bavuma got 50 for Eastern Cape in return, but for nothing. Super Kings lost 6 for 33 after a dominating opening stand; Eastern Cape collapsed with 6 for 51 when things seemed in control.
