Phew, let me catch my breath, what an exhilarating match it turned out to be! Who would have thought Pretoria Capitals would defend 125 against a team that was on a winning spree? Both teams delivered stellar bowling performances, making life onerous for the batters. With this win, Pretoria add two more points to the board and move to No. 5, while Sunrisers remain in third place with 15 points. It's been a rollercoaster ride, indeed. SEC's top order misfired, and then Stubbs and Kruger forged a partnership to get the chase back on track but, Capitals kept picking wickets at regular intervals and put up a lionhearted effort, making the equation taxing. Parnell shed three wickets, Rashid got vital three scalps in the middle overs, and Dupavillon was breathing fire in his spells - he bowled a terrific last over and held his nerve in crucial moments. Bosch only conceded 11 runs and picked up a wicket too. All in all, a terrific, well-knit bowling performance gets them over the line by the barest of margins. Thanks for joining us. It's goodnight from me, Rvel Zahid, and our scorer for this game, Ranjith

Eathan Bosch, Player of the Match: Pretty unexpected (to win POTM) but I'm happy I could contribute to team's win, to put my hand up tonight and contribute feels pretty special. We're playing against some of the best in the world, guys put up a really really good fight and hope we can carry the momentum...Dupi held his nerve. You have to win in order to get to the playoffs, looking forward to the game on Saturday and keep moving

Dupavillon to Dawson, no run, Oh my word,so close yet so far! Dawson shimmies across his stumps and tries to scoop it to fine leg but can't connect and Pretoria Capitals manage to defend this paltry score. What an amusing and engrossing low-scoring cliffhanger that had everything.

Dupavillon to Dawson, no run, Rams a yorker right into the blockhole, Yorker as Waquaresque, can't do much about it, did well to shield his stumps! Will there be a super over?

Dupavillon to Dawson, SIX, Pounces on the length ball wide of off and flogs him for a six over deep point, right off the middle and what a timely six to change the complexion of the game. Too full and plenty of width to work with, he couldn't have timed the shot any better. Sensational stuff, cool and calm when it matters the most

Parnell to Dawson, SIX, Couldn't have finished the over any better! HE HAS BATTERED THAT OVER deep midwicket and cleared the ropes. Once again Parnell misses his target, that's a juicy half-volley and he strokes it splendidly over midwicket, it's a lovely one-handed crowd catch too and the entire crowd has erupted, what a catch, it's all happening out there!

big delivery coming up, SEC need a 6

Parnell to Dawson, no run, Mean short ball slammed into the deck and it hits him on the helmet I reckon, it's off the top edge and then ricochets to the helmet, concussion protocol will follow but he looks okay

Parnell to Dawson, SIX, A brilliant bottom-hand shovel over midwicket into the grass banks, hold on, don't leave your seats too early. This game is still alive with Dawson still out there. That was slugged out of the meat! Length on middle, too full in his hitting arc and goes out of the park
