- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.6 pushed through with the arm, beats the bat... Rickelton flips off the bails and MICT think they have their man this time! The TV umpire is going to check, but Conway had clearly overbalanced and will have to go! Fine work by Riceklton going down the leg side, he took it cleanly and then was alert to the chance as Conway dragged his back foot out of the crease 101/210.6 thumped down the throat of long-off! Bosch gets Faf, well held by the skipper, Rash. Wasn't quite able to get under it as he aimed another beefy hit down the ground and it went flat to the fielder, who only had to run in a few yards for a low take. MICT finally separate the openers 97/112.5 walks down, slogged straight up! Du Plooy comes and goes without making much of a mark on the game. Big leading edge as he sliced across the line and Rashid takes another catch coming in from long-off 105/313.3 chipped to cover, another one goes! Tossed up outside off and Lubbe tries to go over the infield but without conviction, this time well held by Brevis diving away to his left. Hendricks has two-for, his T20 best - from just nine balls! 106/417.6 dragged out of his ground, gone! Ferreira tries to make a play on Rashid's last ball and walks right past a ripping legbreak, turn and bounce into the gloves, Rickelton has a simple job on his hands this time 144/5Extras4 (b 1, lb 3)TOTAL172/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6)Fall of wickets: 1-97 (Faf du Plessis, 10.6 ov), 2-101 (Devon Conway, 11.6 ov), 3-105 (Leus du Plooy, 12.5 ov), 4-106 (Wihan Lubbe, 13.3 ov), 5-144 (Donovan Ferreira, 17.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.4 leg-sided, tucked off the pads, more sharp running but this might too close for comfort! Bairstow seems confident as he gathers and whips off the bails, hands giving backwards into the stumps... and he is millimetres short! Wonderful glovework, and a good shy too from Conway, quick and flat 70/114.5 clubbed to long-off! Rickelton throws back his head and will have to make his way off this time. Thrashed through the line with abandon but this didn't have the legs... well held by the evergreen du Plessis, running in for a low, diving take. Not for the first time this month, Rickelton walks off to an ovation at Newlands 162/215.3 top-edged up the chimney, taken! Brevis goes six, two, out. Short from Wiese and angling across as Brevis attempts to pull but gets a big top edge. Tahir holds the steepler and then celebrates with a vigorous Ronaldo 'SIUUUU' - even though the game is gone 171/3Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL173/3 (15.5 Overs, RR: 10.92)Fall of wickets: 1-70 (Rassie van der Dussen, 6.4 ov), 2-162 (Ryan Rickelton, 14.5 ov), 3-171 (Dewald Brevis, 15.3 ov)
