Commentary

That's all we have from match 16 of the SA20. Match 17 between JSK and SEC gets underway in some time, so hop tabs to follow all the live action on Sportskeeda. This is Lavil Saldanha alongside Srivathsa, we hope you enjoyed our coverage and have a pleasant night ahead. SEE YA!

Rashid Khan | MI Cape Town captain: The way the boys came back after those couple of losses and we played brilliant cricket there as well but we lost momentum in the last couple of overs. 140 was a good total on that wicket, I had confidence in my team that we could defend on that wicket, the boys bowled brilliantly. He kept the innings till the end and his role in the team is so important for us [Rassie van der Dussen]. From game 1 he has been delivering for us, so pleased to have him like that who is performing with both bat and ball [George Linde]. Makes my job easier as well with someone like him at the other end to bowl.

Jos Buttler | Player of the Match: Very disappointed, got to a position to where we were there and then get out is very disappointing. Facing Jofra is always a great challenge, he has got plenty of levels to go still as he gets more cricket under his belt. Great for England with the way he is developing. That is the challenges on different surfaces and conditions and we have to adapt, definitely on the slower side and bigger boundaries. As soon as he [David Miller] got out I wanted to go for it, we were looking to chase 40-45 in the last 4 overs and we were there. Disappointed at not finishing it off.

David Miller | Paarl Royals captain: I think 142 is a competitive total on this surface. The bowlers bowled well in all the stages of the game but we batted poorly. Buttler's wicket was the turning point, we got a nice partnership. It was a bit tough to score boundaries. I thought we could have won the game but it often seems close than it is. We play tomorrow, if we win we are back in the hunt. The guys need to string a couple more partnerships. We need to find boundaries and fight our way through. It is a quick turnaround for the next game and hopefully we can put this loss behind us

MI Cape Town win the match by 13 runs

George Linde: 2/23 (4 overs) | Kagiso Rabada: 2/27 (4 overs)

What a game it has been for MI Cape Town. They dominated the first game played between these two sides, this time it has been a much more closely contested affair. MICT had the Royals on their haunches as they picked 4 wickets for only 30 runs. Miller and Buttler then joined forces and they managed to rebuild the innings.

Miler looked to go after the bowling but lost his wicket. Buttler managed to shift his gears, bade his time and then went after the bowling. He brought up his 50, and was looking dangerous but then lost his wicket to a fiery Jofra Archer. Ferisco Adams and Evan Jones had the responsibility of taking the side over the line but they crumbled under pressure as they fell short of the target.

It was an excellent bowling performance from MICT to defend a par total. George Linde and Kagiso Rabada were their star performers as they picked up 4 wickets between themselves and strangled the batters from getting the big runs under their belt. Jofra Archer and Rashid Khan picked up one wicket each and managed to keep the batters quiet when they were looking to accelerate. Stick around as we bring to you all the comments from the presentation ceremony.

19.6 Odean Smith to Evan Jones, MI Cape Town win, a lovely slower ball just outside off to end, Jones swings and misses, that's all over

19.5 Odean Smith to Ferisco Adams, hard back of a length on the stumps, pulled to long-on and this game is done for Paarl

19.4 Odean Smith to Evan Jones, full outside off, drilled straight to the fielder at extra-cover and just one

19.3 Odean Smith to Evan Jones, a dot. The off-cutter on the stumps, Jones makes room and totally mistimes it back

19.2 Odean Smith to Ferisco Adams, hard back of a length on the stumps, miscued flat-batted shot, lands wide of extra-cover

19.1 Odean Smith to Ferisco Adams, slower delivery on the stumps, drilled back at Smith, ricochets off to long-on, two taken

Odean Smith (1-0-11-0) will bowl the final over. He will be bowling to Ferisco Adams on strike

Game on! Paarl Royals need 19 runs in 6 balls. All now lies on the broad shoulders of Evan Jones. AB said he play a whirlwind knock in a 4-day game, can he do it again this time in the shortest form of the game? Only time will tell
