    8.1 Dawson wheels away in celebration! This is a terrific comeback from SEC. Rassie jumps out of his crease, Dawson is wary of it as he drags his length back and gets it to turn away from the advancing batter. Beats the outside edge. Stubbs does the rest. Time for a strategic break 67/3

    4.6 Another slowie from Overton, this brings a wicket! Seam-up slower variation, serious skill from Overton. Stops on Rickelton. He had backed away and aimed to go over the top. But ends up weakly chipping a catch to mid-off. Some respite for SEC 51/1

    5.5 Holes out to square-ish deep third. Short, wide, 142ks, Reeza throws his bat at the ball and ends up slicing a thick outside edge that flies into the hands of Simelane. Sunrisers have worked their way back into this final with this double-strike 52/2

    10.6 Caught by Overton at long-off this time! Lawson tries to hide it away from the reach of Linde once again. He steps out and connects once again, but finds the outfielder this time. Linde got too close to the pitch and ended up holing out 93/4

    1.5 Chipped to short cover! Back of a length and hits the splice. It's the ball hitting bat as opposed to bat hitting the ball. Bedingham can't control his drive and ends up plopping a catch to Linde in the infield 7/1

    10.3 another lbw appeal, the finger goes up this time! De Zorzi walks off but his captain chats with him and SEC decide to review this. But it seemed plumb. Slider, full on middle, smacks the front pad in line with middle, No bat involved. Ball-tracking indicates that it would've crashed into middle 68/4

    11.2 Rabada pulls off a sensational catch at point! He dives across to his right from point and plucks the ball out of thin air. On a length and turns away outside off, Markram aims to go inside-out over extra-cover, but Linde finds more turn and has the batter slicing it to the right of Rabada. Sunrisers are five down and sinking 74/5

    18.4 That is that! MICT are the new champions of the SA20! No three-peat for SEC. Rabada and the rest of the MICT players celebrate under fire-work filled skies. Rabada seals the deal by taking out No.11 Gleeson. Banged in short, Gleeson is discomfited by it, he can only fend it to Hendricks at cover. The Wanderers roars with the MICT boys 105/10
