- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.6 Given out LBW! Pushed through quicker this time. Back of a length, and hits Timmers on the back pad. This looks plumb to me. Hitting leg, me thinks. Ball tracking agrees with me, as Timmers burns a review for JSK on his way back after a decent knock on debut. 74/30.3 The skipper goes for a duck! Fortuin doesn't give the stumps away. Vince backs away and looks to flay it away through the offside. He misses it completely, and the ball flattens leg stump. A dream start for the Royals, a nightmare start for the Super Kings. 1/17.3 Waqar is on the board, and that's a super catch from Dan Lawrence! Full ball on off stump from Waqar, Pepper crunches a cover drive, but it's slightly aerial, and that allows Lawrence to move across low to his left and grab a good catch. 50/216.3 Waqar strikes again! It's a nice-looking shot from de Villiers, but he's got no real power on it. It's a full googly around off stump from Waqar, de Villiers drives it nicely in the air towards long-off, where Tribe has an easy catch. De Villiers is filthy with himself for not going through with that shot. 119/417.6 Mulder's miserable SA20 with the bat continues. Superb slower ball from Mokoena. It's short of a length and straight. Mulder swipes across the line, is through with the shot about two days before the ball reaches him. It goes on to smack the top of middle stump. 132/5Extras4 (lb 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL166/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.3)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (James Vince, 0.3 ov), 2-50 (Michael Pepper, 7.3 ov), 3-74 (Neil Timmers, 10.6 ov), 4-119 (Matthew de Villiers, 16.3 ov), 5-132 (Wiaan Mulder, 17.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.4 And there's a huge appeal for caught behind! Timmers has convinced Vince to go for the review straightaway. A big moment, this. It was a googly that pitched outside off stump, and back of a length. Pretorius looked for a punch off the backfoot. UltraEdge shows a spike as the ball passes the bat! Timmers was convinced, and rightly so. What a moment for Tahir, what a lift for JSK. 46/22.6 Subrayen gets JSK on the board early! It's a quicker one. Full on middle stump, Tribe looks to flick it out towards the legside, it stays a bit low and beats him completely, to slam into middle stump. 13/116.2 Is that the game? Has Akeal Hosein put JSK in the playoffs? It's a length ball angling into Lawrence's pads, he's tried to use the wind and reverse sweep it over the offside field. It flicks his pad and then disturbs the timber. JSK will now feel they have one foot in the playoffs. 113/711.3 Mulder strikes! Good catch from du Plooy! Mulder takes paces off, it's back of a length and angling across Hermann, who plays the pull shot which he so loves. Gets the top edge on it, and it goes down to long-on, where du Plooy gets under it and takes a good catch in this swirling breeze. 81/312.1 Tahir is away and running and doing the SIIIUUUUU! LBW given out by the umpire, it was a quicker delivery, back of a length, kept low, hit Potgieter in front of leg stump. Looks absolutely plumb to me. Hitting middle and leg, I think. Yes, ball tracking confirms it. Potgieter is a goner. Tahir is bowling a stunning spell for JSK here.. 82/414.2 Subrayen produces the goods for JSK again! This is a slot ball on middle and off stump, Raza's eyes light up seeing the flight, he dances down the wicket and looks to deposit it over long-on, but doesn't hit it well enough. He only finds Mulder at long-on, and the momentum is back with JSK again. 100/515.2 Burger comes roaring back for the Super Kings! It's again a back of a length delivery, Fortuin clears the front leg and looks to repeat that pull shot, he only manages to play it onto his stumps off the inside edge. Fortuin is filthy with himself. 107/617.3 What an effort that is! A sensational tag team effort between Pepper and de Villiers. Short ball from Burger again, Mokoena looks to pull that with the wind over midwicket. But de Villiers takes it superbly while in the field of play, throws it out to his mate Pepper, who completes the catch, and the Super Kings can now smell another clash against the Royals in the eliminator in a couple of days. 117/818.1 Bowled him! David Miller won't come out to bat, so the Joburg Super Kings are through to the playoffs. It's full and straight from Subrayen, Waqar misses the straight one. 122/10Extras5 (lb 3, w 2)TOTAL122 all out (18.1 Overs, RR: 6.71)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Asa Tribe, 2.6 ov), 2-46 (Lhuan-dre Pretorius, 6.4 ov), 3-81 (Rubin Hermann, 11.3 ov), 4-82 (Delano Potgieter, 12.1 ov), 5-100 (Sikandar Raza, 14.2 ov), 6-107 (Bjorn Fortuin, 15.2 ov), 7-113 (Dan Lawrence, 16.2 ov), 8-117 (Nqobani Mokoena, 17.3 ov), 9-122 (Waqar Salamkheil, 18.1 ov)
