Pitch Report

Over the last 10 days the pitch has been covered due to rain. The outfield will be a bit wet. Watch out for slipping and sliding. You don't know if it will rain or not tonight. The pitch seems a bit dry one. There are a few cracks, and some moisture seems to have seeped in through them. Hence, we see a few shoots coming out. This wicket might have something for the bowlers initially. If you are batting first you want to get at least 175.

Commentary

That will be all from this game! This is Dwaipayan Mukherjee, signing off with my co-commentator Darpan Tikiya. We will see you soon!

Faf Du Plessis is also the Player of The Match, here is what he has to say : It is a tricky wicket. Both innings, we saw a lot of movement for the bowlers. If batters stand still, it becomes easier for the bowlers to target us. I thought we were excellent on the field, unbelievable to see the manner in which the boys put their bodies behind the line. We could have bowled well in the last 3 overs where we leaked many runs.

Rashid Khan (MI Cape Town Captain) : The toss becomes important, specially in weather like this. But this is something which is under our control. Still, I believe we played very well. The surface was good to bat. It's quite difficult when conditions change like we saw today. In the 2nd innings, with the ball it became tougher to gain control. The team is well prepared for the next game because we had a nice couple of weeks before the tournament had begun. A couple of bad years, but this time around we are confident to deliver a fine season.

9.52 PM Local Time (1.22 AM IST) : The inevitable has happened! The match has been called off. JSK win by 6 runs (DLS method)

Faf du Plessis - 30 (23) | Leus du Plooy - 24* (23)
Kagiso Rabada - 2/10 | Trent Boult - 1/20

Let us take you through the events of the chase. It did not take long for Boult to get into the wickets column once again as he dismissed Conway in a caught behind fashion in only his 2nd over. Three things are constant in life : Death, taxes and a Trent Boult wicket in his opening spell of a T20 match.

Many fans expected the opening pace duo of MICT to be Boult and Rabada but they had to wait till the 4th over for the South African ace pacer to make an appearance in the bowling crease. Faf welcomed Rabada with an authoritative boundary through the cover region. After 5.2 overs is when the rain gods decided to interfere with the progress of the match and we had a delay for more than an hour.

We had only lost an over with the revised target being 136, only 5 runs lesser than the original one. It would be very interesting to see the sequence of events while Rashid Khan was in operation. JSK were in a position to play out his overs. Every time the ball rolled across the turf, it gained moisture, making it even more challenging for the bowlers to grip it.

Brevis took a sensational catch to send off Faf around the similar area where Rabada had committed a schoolboy error to concede a boundary and that really galvanised the Cape Town side. Bairstow fell for 14 to Rabada which kept the game in the balance. But the rain gods decided to intervene again after 11.3 overs, this time they had the last say! Presentations to follow.

9.31 PM Local Time (1.01 AM IST) : Rain stops play again! Rabada throws the ball to the umpires in a rather despondent manner. JSK are ahead of the DLS score. There was a big storm predicted. Maybe that has taken effect. The full pitch has been covered. And there are more covers being used. These are suggestive of a longish delay.

Lubbe averages 23 with a career strike rate of 132. If he can give his team a 23 from 18 balls - it would be great!

11.3 Kagiso Rabada to Wihan Lubbe, around the wicket, GREETS HIM WITH A YORKER! But Lubbe has it covered. Blocks it by jamming the bat down.

Wihan Lubbe, LHB, comes to the crease

Rashid Khan understood the severity of the situation. He summoned his best bowler and Rabada has delivered!

11.2 Kagiso Rabada to Jonny Bairstow, BOWLED! RABADA'S FINESSE ON DISPLAY! He bowls a leg cutter. It holds in the wicket and flummoxes Bairstow, who was looking to get beside the line and push it into the off side. The ball went past his bat and cannoned into the off peg.

Jonny Bairstow b Kagiso Rabada 14 (14b 1x4 1x6)

11.1 Kagiso Rabada to Jonny Bairstow, YORKER! AT THE STUMPS! 139kph. Bairstow jams his bat down in time.

Kagiso Rabada [2.0-0-10-1] is back into the attack

This is very smart cricket from JSK. They are not taking any undue risks against Rashid Khan. They are undertaking calculated risks. No such thing as a foregone conclusion in this game but we can definitely say that JSK is in the driver's seat.
