Commentary

We are only getting started for what is going to be an absorbing and engrossing 30 days of cricket. For now, this is Dwaipayan Mukherjee, signing off with my co-commentator Pragadeesh. See you in less than 24 hours!

That brings us an end to what was an exhilarating match right from the beginning. If these are signs of what is to follow, we are in for a spectacular month of wonderful cricket here in South Africa. It's time to shift our attention to tomorrow's game where Paarl Royals will be hosting the Pretoria Capitals.

22:00 Local Time, 20:00 GMT, 01:30 IST: Play has been called off and Durban Super Giants win by 11 runs by DLS method.

Durban Super Giants - 177/6 after 16.3 overs

Heinrich Klaasen - 85 (35) | Matthew Breetzke - 39 (24)
Kagiso Rabada - 2/23 | Liam Livingstone - 1/23

The MI Cape Town would believe they got robbed off an opportunity to exert further pressure on the tail-enders of Durban to squeeze through the final few overs.

It has been an excellent beginning to the SA20 with a flat surface at Kingsmead playing out as a bowler's grave on a day when everyone travelled. It was entertainment galore as the crowd was kept thoroughly engaged by the big hits of Rickeltion in the early parts of the match before Klaasen entered the scene and massacred his way to 85.

The home side played it smart, knowing that the rain was around and ensured that they stayed ahead of the rate throughout the chase ever since Klaasen took guard.

21:40 Local Time, 19:40 GMT, 01:10 IST: It has been an absolute humbling for for all MICT bowlers tonight as only Kagiso Rabada (7.67) and Sam Curran (8.86) were able to keep their economies under 10 where everyone received a shellacking. There will be a going back to the drawing board for both sides on how to improve their bowling shows as they play their 2nd and 3rd games in the week to come.

21:25 Local Time, 19:25 GMT, 00:55 IST: The waiting game continues! Looking back at the match, when Ryan Rickelton notched up his 87, we thought we had seen the batting star of the day before Heinrich Klaasen arrived and smashed 85 from just 35 balls - mercilessly treating all MICT bowlers.

A match that swung multiple time deserves to have a proper finish and here's to wishing the rain gods call it quits for the day and allow this intense battle to reach it's conclusion.

21:10 Local Time, 19:10 GMT, 00:40 IST: DLS Par score after 16.3 overs is 166 - Durban Super Giants are 11 runs ahead! As things stand, we do not have official word about the match starting anytime soon but we will keep you updated.

21:04 Local Time, 19:04 GMT, 00:34 IST: Rain stops play! We are hearing that we have 60 minutes before we begin to lose overs. It should be a light drizzle but locals suggest that this can stick around for a while.

16.3 Sam Curran to Prenelan Subrayen, fuller delivery angling on off-stump, Subrayen slices it down to backward point

16.2 Sam Curran to Dwaine Pretorius, back of a length angling across off, Pretorius taps it to backward point for a single

16.1 Sam Curran to Prenelan Subrayen, off-pace delivery angling across off, dabbed to short third and they pick up a quick single

33 needed from 24 balls! Curran returns as the drizzle ensures that all of us keep an eye on the DLS par score - where Durban find themselves ahead of - just!

Prenelan Subrayen, RHB, comes to the crease

15.5 Kagiso Rabada to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! End of a destructive knock. Klaasen is going bang bang but he picks out long-off this time. Rabada bowls a full-toss , Klaasen could've swiped this to his favourite territory towards deep square leg but he chooses a different shot. Lofts it to long-off and Curran takes it safely.

15.4 Kagiso Rabada to Heinrich Klaasen, IN THE AIR...SAFE! Big moment in the game but Livingstone can't reach closer to the ball. Hits the deck hard and it hurries off the pace, Klaasen pulls and gets a top-edge. Livingstone is charging forward, dives but it lands safely

15.3 Kagiso Rabada to Heinrich Klaasen, SIX! Even Rabada gets the same treatment. Full toss on middle stump, Klaasen steps away and swipes it over deep square leg for a maximum

MICT made 65 runs from their last 5 overs, Durban have only 42 needed now from 28 balls! The required run rate is 9 now, Klaasen has turned the match on it's head

15.2 Kagiso Rabada to Dwaine Pretorius, pitched up on off-stump, eased down to long-off for a single

15.1 Kagiso Rabada to Dwaine Pretorius, off-pace delivery angling in, Pretorius turns it softly to square leg and gets a brace
