- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.3 Holes out to sweeper cover. Nortje comes back and takes out the well-set Connor. 147kph, cross-seamer, back of a length and outside off, Connor ends up slicing it in the air to Jordan Hermann. Gone for 52 off 33 balls 111/43.4 Parsons goes searching for a fourth straight boundary and ends up picking out mid-off. Slower variation, full and outside off once again, this time Parsons loses his shape and does not middle it. He carves it to captain Stubbs. First wicket for Sipamla in SEC colours 30/14.5 Milne comes back and takes out Hope! He's been terrific in the powerplay. Hard-length delivery and nips back into Hope. He has a swipe at it and bottom-edges it behind to Qdk. Milne celebrates. Two wickets in two overs for SEC. They have silenced the Centurion crowd 35/210.2 tonked....into the hands of Stubbs at wide long-on. Back of a length and floated outside off, Lubbe shimmies out and drags it in the air. Stubbs pedals back, judges it superbly, and completes the catch with both hands right at the edge of the boundary. 87/315.3 Brevis perishes to the short ball once again! Nortje cranks it up to 146kph, rushes Brevis into a hook. Rib-high delivery, hits the splice of the bat, Breetzke runs in from deep midwicket and dives forward to snag the catch. Bowlers continue to bounce Brevis out 126/516.2 Qdk pulls off a screamer! Russell throws his head back in disappointment. He throws himself to his right and completes another one-handed stunner. He made it look so very easy. Back-of-the-hand slower variation from Milne. He hides it away from the reach of Russell. The batter throws his bat at ball and snicks it behind. Even the usually stoic Qdk has a smile on his face 131/617.6 149kph = pace like fire! Maharaj camps back thinking it's another bouncer. But it's a rapid yorker from Nortje. Maharaj backs away and loses his stumps. Terrific bowling from Nortje once again. Nortje finishes with 4-0-32-3 143/7Extras15 (lb 7, w 8)TOTAL176/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.8)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Bryce Parsons, 3.4 ov), 2-35 (Shai Hope, 4.5 ov), 3-87 (Wihan Lubbe, 10.2 ov), 4-111 (Connor Esterhuizen, 13.3 ov), 5-126 (Dewald Brevis, 15.3 ov), 6-131 (Andre Russell, 16.2 ov), 7-143 (Keshav Maharaj, 17.6 ov)
