2.2 to T de Zorzi, four and out! Fortuin has his man! This is shorter outside off. de Zorzi thinks he can cut it but cannot get on top of the bounce completely. Slices it uppishly and Phehlukwayo tracks it all the way from backward point, completing the catch with a smart dive to his left. Fortuin among the wickets in the powerplay. Again!. 14/1
4.3 to DG Bedingham, miscued high into the air, and taken! Fortuin dangles the carrot on middle and off, and Bedingham bites. He looks at the flight and aims to go downtown. Gets nowhere near the pitch of the ball, though, and clinks it right off the toe-end. Rubin Hermann settles under the high ball at mid on and does the rest. Fortuin back at it in the powerplay!. 37/2

8.6 to TB Abell, excellent catch in the backward point region, and St George's Park has been stunned into silence! A touch shorter outside off but like the ball that got de Zorzi, this seems to hold in the surface. Abell cannot keep his cut down and that brings Malinga into play. He flies to his right, gets both hands to it and snaffles up the chance with minimal fuss. Vital wicket at this stage for the Royals!. 74/3
3036212.0052310
14.3 to AK Markram, nicked and gone! Owen has his first SA20 scalp and it is a huge one! Full outside off and the ball is there to be driven through the covers. Markram, though, just cannot get a hold of it. In fact, that might have grazed the bottom of the bat on its way through to Pretorius and Markram storms off disappointed!. 107/5
19.5 to T Stubbs, goes straight up, and Owen has his man. Finally! Full outside off. Stubbs looks to smash this into the ocean but cuts across it too much. Goes way up but Phehlukwayo (stood at extra cover) gets under the high ball adeptly. Gobbles up the chance, and that gives the crowd an opportunity to rise up and applaud Stubbs off the mark. He was very scratchy for the first 22 balls he faced, but in the final over, found a way to get SEC close to 150!. 147/7
402125.2570010
12.2 to J Hermann, a volleyball parry, and that will be that for Jordan Hermann with the bat! Slanted in full just outside leg, following the batter. Jordan does not have enough room to work with and slices it towards backward point. Phehlukwayo palms it up, like it often happens in volleyball but ends up catching it himself. Jordan is livid with himself; Malinga a lot more overjoyed!. 94/4
18.2 to M Jansen, bulls-eye, and Malinga has his second scalp of the day! Excellent yorker that seems to start on off and tails back into Jansen late. He is looking to go over long on but the movement does him in completely. The ball screams past the bat and smashes into middle stump. Jansen's struggles come to an end!. 121/6

0.6 to LG Pretorius, edged and gone! St George's Park erupts in joy and so does Craig Overton! Back of a length, pushed across the batter outside off. Pretorius goes fishing at it away from his body and the ball jags away just enough to take the outside edge. Jansen takes it comfortably to his left, and SEC are on the board early!. 4/1
2.1 to M Van Buuren, bowled'im round his legs! What is happening here?! Slanted in on a length on middle and leg. van Buuren shuffles across, trying to glance it fine. Shuffles across too much in the end and the ball brushes the thigh pad before crashing into leg stump. In retrospect, the deflection off the thigh pad actually diverted the ball into the stumps. Sunrisers Eastern Cape will not care one bit, though. They are up and about in this second innings!. 11/3
2.4 to D Marais, edged and gone! The Royals are four down and tottering! Length outside off. Marais goes chasing after it without any real foot movement. Gets a faint nick through to Stubbs and he begins celebrating the moment he catches it. Overton was not as convinced but soon found himself being mobbed by his teammates. Three in the powerplay for Overton, and four inside three overs for the Sunrisers!. 13/4
402235.50142100
1.4 to MJ Owen, goes straight up, and Mitch Owen's SA20 debut is done and dusted! Banged into the track on middle and leg, and this gets awfully big on Owen. He tries to hack it away but Jansen's extra bounce is just too hot to handle on this occasion. Abell settles under it at mid wicket and snares the chance. Two early wickets for SEC, and the Royals find themselves in early peril!. 10/2
3.5 to DN Wellalage, crazy, crazy dismissal! Slanted in full just outside off. Wellalage shapes for the scoop, despite managing a boundary off the last ball, and makes a complete hash of it. Pops up right off the toe-end and de Zorzi accepts the offering with glee at mid wicket. The Royals slide further into trouble!. 22/5
16.4 to E Malinga, miscued again but not enough legs on it this time! Hard length on middle and leg. Malinga looks to go downtown but the extra bounce does for him. Splices it up and long on makes no mistake, settling inside the high ball well inside the fence. Jansen moves to the top of the wicket-takers list, and SEC move closer to another home win!. 94/9
302207.3371100
2.201918.1462100
18.2 to L Ngidi, that will be that! The Sunrisers Eastern Cape thump the Royals at home and finish their league stage with a bonus-point win! Length ball in and around off. Ngidi looks to go inside-out but gets no power on it at all. Spoons it tamely to Abell at extra cover, and as soon as the catch is taken, the crowd lets out a huge roar. This is the last time SEC will be playing here this season, and this crowd have gotten their money's worth!. 100/10
301525.0092000
12.2 to AL Phehlukwayo, huge lbw appeal, and given! Phehlukwayo reviews immediately, though! Fired in full on middle and off. Phehlukwayo shapes for the reverse and seems to miss it. The promptness of the review, however, suggests bat might be involved. Oh, well. Nothing of that sort. No spikes on UltraEdge and we move on to Ball Tracking now. The first impact is on the back leg, and that impact is in line with off stump. The ball is then going on to hit off stump and Phehlukway has to go. Takes a review along with him too!. 71/6
12.3 to BC Fortuin, one brings two, and Markram takes out his opposite number! Floated up full and wide, and Fortuin's eyes light up. He tries to tonk it into tomorrow but miscues it terribly. Overton comes running in from long off and does the rest. Markram on a hat-trick now!. 71/7
20713.5081000
15.2 to RA Herman, oh my word! LeBron James, eat your heart out! Back of a length outside off. Rubin lines it up and swats it flat towards long on. He seems to have enough on it until...Overton enters the chat. He reads the trajectory perfectly and then flings out his right mitt nonchalantly. Grabs it clean, like an NBA player would have done on an alley-oop attempt and that is perhaps the slam-dunk that truly seals the Royals' fate for the day. What a catch, what a moment, and there is a sea of orange, flags flapping and all, at St George's Park!. 81/8
