Scorer: Binoy George | Commentator: Shashwat Kumar
8:22pm Right. That was in stark contrast to how the game between these two teams panned out yesterday. After four successive thrillers, though, such a contest was perhaps on the cards anyway. Tomorrow, the Paarl Royals will be back in action, and they will be taking on the Sunrisers Eastern Cape, fresh off a remarkable victory against MI Cape Town. Do join us for that match but until then, this is me (Shashwat) signing off on behalf of Binoy George and everyone at ESPNcricinfo. Goodbye, goodnight and take care!
8:20pm A very comfortable victory for the Capitals in the end. They did not have a mountain to scale in the second innings, and they flexed their batting muscles very early, with Jacks setting the tone. Rossouw also continued in a similar vein, with Salt ensuring that there were no further hiccups. The Super Kings looked out of sorts in both departments and after the high of yesterday's win, they have come crashing back down to earth and have plenty to ponder moving ahead.
