8.57pm SEC climb to the top of the table with this bonus-point win. PC, meanwhile, have won just one of their five matches so far and sit fifth, outside of the playoff spots, for now. That's all we have for you from this game. Thanks for your company and comments. Until next time, this Deivarayan Muthu signing off on the behalf on Sudeep Poojar. Goodbye and goodnight.

8.37pm SEC have stunned PC and the Centurion crowd into silence. They've made a mockery of a target of 177, wrapping up a bonus-point point with all ten wickets intact. As emphatic as it can get. PC's bowlers just could not find a way past de Kock and Bairstow. This is the second ten-wicket win in a full 20-over SA20 game. Do stay with us for the post-match presentation.

Most expensive overs in SA20:
34 runs - by Keshav Maharaj, vs SEC, 2026
30 runs - by Daryn Dupavillon vs MICT, 2024
29 runs - by Sam Cook vs DSG, 2024
29 runs - by Imran Tahir vs DSG, 2024
29 runs - by Lutho Sipamla vs SEC, 2025

Stubbs, SEC captain: We thought the pitch was tacky and that plan was to use the wicket and go from there. We were happy with the target and thought it would get better under lights. I think we've built a culture where we play as hard as we can in the field. The two of them [de Kock and Bairstow] have played a lot of cricket and know what to do. It was so good to watch on the side. The fast bowlers have so much composure and know what they have to do. They've done it all well before. We're off to Durban and then home.

De Kock, Player of the Match:  It's about getting through the new ball and then the pitch plays better. That's all we did. Jonny got off to a flyer. I have not changed much and lucky enough to play all around the world in different conditions and different formats. I don't say much to Jonny and we just carry on. I'm here to help and happy to be with this group of guys. They enjoy on and off the field.

Maharaj, PC captain: Yeah, felt like 176 was enough. It was not a traditional SuperSport wicket and we didn't start well with the ball. Didn't seem like too much energy on the field. We were a touch too full at the start and gave them width. We got to dust ourselves off and bounce back quickly. Disappointing to have two losses in front of the home crowd.

Topspin : "I call that The Quinstow Show "

Jess: "I've seen enough, get YJB in the England T20 squad!"

Maharaj to Bairstow, SIX, WOW - five sixes in a 34-run over! Wouldja believe it? This is stunning hitting from Bairstow. Centurion has been stunned into silence. Pushed through outside off, Bairstow lines Maharaj up and smashes another straight six
