9:17pm Right. That will be a wrap from us for this game. It promised so much, especially at the half-way stage but soon meandered towards a one-sided contest, although that was down to how clinical the Capitals were. Tomorrow, the Paarl Royals will be in action and they will clash against the Sunrisers Eastern Cape, currently placed second and hoping to keep pace with the Capitals. Until next time, this is me (Shashwat) signing off on behalf of everyone at ESPNcricinfo! Goodbye, goodnight and take care!

9:14pm A fairly comfortable victory for the Capitals in the end. MI Cape Town never really got going and the only time they looked to be in the contest in the second innings was when Brevis was at the crease. Once the youngster departed, van der Dussen could not take up the mantle and his 25-ball 24 did their chances more harm than good. The rest of the middle order also looked thin, and with the likes of Nortje and Parnell firing on all cylinders, MI Cape Town were, quite frankly, blown away.

Parnell also deserves plenty of praise for how he handled his resources. The gamble to bring Jacks on worked a charm, as did the ploy to persist with Rashid, despite him conceding 18 runs in his opening over. The Capitals, in short, won all the moments that mattered tonight and now sit comfortably atop the points table.

18.1
W
Parnell to Rabada, OUT

that will be that! The Capitals win, and they pick up a bonus point! Full toss slanted into middle and off stump. It seems that Rabada is not expecting that length and is late on the stroke. The ball whistles past the bat and then leaves the stumps in an almighty mess!

1
Nortje to Rabada, 1 run

length delivery on off stump. Rabada backs away and drives it on the up towards extra cover for a single

17.5
Nortje to Rabada, no run

sharp bumper on middle and leg stump. Rabada is taken aback by it and fends it towards the bowler. No looseners to his South Africa teammate!

MI Cape Town are nine down now, with Rabada the last man in. Can Nortje finish it off in this over?

17.4
W
Nortje to Archer, OUT

straight to mid off! Three for Nortje! Back of a length delivery outside off stump that rushes onto Archer. He tries to muscle it over mid off but because he can't complete his swing, he ends up hitting it straight down Parnell's throat!

Jofra Archer c Parnell b Nortje 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50
17.3
1
Nortje to Potgieter, 1 run

back of a length delivery on leg stump. Potgieter gets up on his toes and dabs it towards backward point for a single

If the Capitals restrict MI Cape Town to 145 or less, they will win by a bonus point

17.2
1
Nortje to Archer, 1 run

back of a length delivery outside off stump. Archer has a swipe at it and clogs it over the bowler's head for a single. Archer might not die wondering, you feel

Archer on strike

17.1
W
Nortje to Rashid Khan, OUT

Rashid bites the dust! Back of a length delivery outside off stump that hurries onto the batter. Rashid has an agricultural hack at it and is awfully late on the stroke. The ball spoons up off the leading edge and Bosch completes an easy catch at extra cover!

Rashid Khan c Bosch b Nortje 2 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

56 needed off 18 now, and this game might just have slipped away from MI Cape Town. Potgieter walks out to the middle, meanwhile. Nortje, too, is back into the attack

W
Parnell to Smith, OUT

flattens off stump! Low full toss that hones in on off stump. Smith continues swinging like a rusty gate and much like the rest of his innings, he does not make any contact. The ball breezes past the bat and thunders into off stump!

Odean Smith b Parnell 1 (6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 16.66
16.5
Parnell to Smith, no run

yorker on middle and leg stump. Smith jams his bat down in time and digs it out towards the bowler

16.4

Parnell to Rashid Khan, 1 run

full delivery outside off stump. Rashid sits deep in his crease and drills it down the ground towards mid off for a single

16.3

Parnell to Smith, 1 run

length delivery just outside off stump. Smith has a hack at it and tugs it towards deep square leg for a single

16.2

Parnell to Rashid Khan, 1 run

back of a length delivery that follows the batter outside leg. Rashid is cramped for room and dabs it into the off side

Rashid is the new man in

16.1
W
Parnell to van der Dussen, OUT

huge appeal, and that looks very adjacent! Full delivery on middle and leg stump. van der Dussen walks across his stumps and then misses the ball altogether. The ball smashes into the pads and to the naked eye, it looks very out. van der Dussen, though, wants to have another look! . Nothing on Ultra Edge, and three reds on Ball Tracking! van der Dussen has to go! That pitched just in line but the Capitals will not care one bit!

15.6
Rashid to Smith, no run

back of a length delivery outside off stump. Smith looks to force it through the off side but can only scuff it back to the bowler

15.5
Rashid to Smith, no run

looped up on a length outside off stump. Smith looks to tonk that one into next week but misses the ball by a country mile. Massive turn for Rashid!

15.4
Rashid to Smith, no run

short delivery outside off stump. Smith gets onto the back foot and cuts it straight to extra cover

15.4
1w
Rashid to Smith, 1 wide

back of a length delivery fired down the leg side. Smith lets it go and then sees the umpire indulge in a bit of exercise

Odean Smith is in now. Can he do something special?

15.3
W
Rashid to Roelofsen, OUT

taken at deep mid wicket! Flighted beautifully on middle and leg stump, and that length entices Roelofsen to have a go at it. Much like Linde, though, he is not close enough to the ball to generate the requisite power. In the end, he skies it towards deep mid wicket, where the fielder does the rest!

Grant Roelofsen c Muthusamy b Rashid 4 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 80
15.2

Rashid to Roelofsen, 2 runs

full delivery outside off stump. Roelofsen continues swiping and fetches himself a couple to deep mid wicket

15.1
2lb
Rashid to Roelofsen, 2 leg byes

full delivery on middle and off stump that rips away. Roelofsen has a slog at it and misses. The keeper can't collect either

Spin from both ends. Adil Rashid to bowl the 16th
