4.6 overs (2 Runs)
Good length ball outside off, the Hitman opens the face of his bat and steers it through point. It is to the right of Kagiso Rabada at deep backward point. KG runs to that direction, dives and puts in a good stop to stop the ball from going into the boundary. Saves 2 for his side. The umpires are having a look as to whether it was a clean save. And they are satisfied. So, just the two runs there.

Marcus Stoinis is on! He was brilliant in the game before this one with the ball. Could not do a lot with the bat but can he turn it around with the ball?

1.5 overs (6 Runs)
SIX! Aaah… shot! Full and around off, Quinton powers that mightily over deep mid-wicket. Sends it miles over the boundary.

Full on off and middle, de Kock looks to slam that on the leg side but the ball falls flat on the pitch, off the inside edge.
1.3 overs (4 Runs)
FOUR OFF LEG BYES! Bonus runs but runs nonetheless. Fullish on the pads, de Kock looks to flick but misses. It comes off his pads, goes wide of the keeper and the man at short fine leg, goes to the fine leg boundary.
