There's one more game lined up for today. Tshwane Spartans have opted to bat against Jozi Stars. Switch tabs to follow the action.
Faf du Plessis: Good to get across. I though we were brilliant till the 16th over, then we made soft mistakes. We had to nail it down with 15 runs to go. We got a couple of points, not 100% happy especially with the last two overs. The spinners have been terrific. I call it 'spin it to win it'. Few things to work on, hopefully we put in a good performance (against Nelson Mandela Bay Giants).
Henry Davids | Player of the Match: It was good fun. First I wanted to have a look, it was nice to bat on. There was a bit of nip, it was a good wicket. All the teams are strong in MSL this season. On Wednesday, we'll be ready at PE. It was an all-round performance. Nail-biting finish, was an awesome game.
Quinton de Kock: It was a very close game in the end. Just unfortunate we couldn't cross the line. They played well. Get a couple of wickets upfront, the batting team is always under pressure. We'll get together and come up with a plan (for the next game).?
13:39 Local Time, 11:39 GMT, 17:09 IST: A humdinger of a contest. After a decent start, the Blitz lost their way after the downfall of QdK. At 69/5, they were in all sorts of trouble. That's when the duo of Philander and Nawaz stitched a half-century partnership. Even after the former's dismissal, Nawaz kept going after Paarl's bowlers and brought the equation down to '12 needed off the last over'. However, he got out off the very first ball in the final over and Udana nervously managed to defend the total in the end.
Udana to Magala, out Gregory Mahlokwana Run Out!! 1 run completed. Paarl Rocks win by 2 runs. Very full ball outside off, Magala drills it through extra cover and Faf makes a sliding stop running to his left from long-off. Releases the ball quickly and the bowler takes the bails off to catch Gregory Mahlokwana short of his ground. Gregory Mahlokwana run out (du Plessis/Udana) 0(1)
Udana to Magala, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!
4 needed now off the last ball
Udana to Magala, wide, away-angler from a length, Magala swings his bat hard to connect with thin air. Called as a wide
5 needed off the last ball!
Udana to Magala, FOUR, edged and four! Full and angling away, Magala throws his bat hard and gets an outside edge that goes square of the short third man fielder
9 needed off 2 deliveries
Udana to Magala, no run, Udana bamboozles Magala with a slower ball from a short of length. Magala is early into his pull and misses. Goes to the keeper on the bounce
Udana to Magala, wide, 135kph, pitched up delivery way outside off. Magala can't reach out for it. Rightly wided
Udana to Gregory Mahlokwana, leg byes, 1 run, in-angler, Mahlokwana misses the flick and wears it on the pad before scampering across to nab a run via leg-byes
Udana to Magala, 1 run, dropped! Slower ball, Magala shapes to hoick across the line and does so early. The ball lobs up off the leading edge. Udana calls for it, settles under it .... and .... puts it down
Gregory Mahlokwana, left handed bat, comes to the crease
Udana to Mohammad Nawaz, out Caught by James Vince!! Udana goes full, doesn't get his mark right with the yorker and Nawaz backs himself to clear the fence. The left-hander shuffled across to loft it over long-off. Doesn't get the required elevation and hits it straight down long-off's throat. Mohammad Nawaz c James Vince b Udana 41(23) [4s-2 6s-3]
Udana to Mohammad Nawaz, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
One over to go. 12 needed.
