That's a wrap from today's game. But the SA20 carnival keeps moving with Paarl Royals taking on Joburg Super Kings tomorrow. Join us for that. Until next time, goodbye and stay safe..
Jordan Hermann | Player of the Match: Very thankful to contribute to the win. Absolutely blank, I had no idea how I got there, probably ecstatic. I have been given a lot of freedome because of our long batting line-up and I am enjoying that. Very grateful to the team management for believing in me.
Aiden Markram: Very happy. Great game of cricket. It was nice to be part of it and nice to be on the winning side. I was nervous. The boys put in the yards and did their best. Baartman executed his plans and delivered. We thought of hitting the wicket hard and he executed that well in the middle. He was fantastic. I was chatting to him and he doesn't know what happened today. I am stoked for him tonight. He picked his pockets and targeted the right bowlers.
Kieron Pollard: I am just enjoying my cricket. I have played a lot of cricket especially T20 cricket. My job is to create a culture. Three games on the bounce laying the foundation for us, they had us in the game but losing a couple of wickets in the middle didn't middle. The young guy batted really well in the first innings to get the hundred, Malan as well.. I haven't bowled for 6-8 months, what's the worst that could have happened, gone for 36 runs but they were already going nuts. Yes we ended up second best but there are some good signs going forward.
21:13 Local Time, 19:13 GMT, 00:43 IST: What a game!

Ottniel Baartman to Sam Curran, no run, Baartman does it. Sunrisers Eastern Cape win by 4 runs.
19.5
Ottniel Baartman to Connor Esterhuizen, 1 run, full toss and Esterhuizen should have done better, it was outside off and he went too hard on the big shot, slices it over backward point and there's protection in the deep, Esterhuizen wanted the second but Curran sends him back. 5 off 1. Who will be the hero? Curran or Baartman?
19.4
Ottniel Baartman to Sam Curran, leg byes, 1 run
19.4
Ottniel Baartman to Sam Curran, wide, that's pressure. With third man and backward point inside the ring, Baartman had to be straight but he ends up spraying it down leg, Curran ignores and collects the wide. 7 off 3
Third man, fine leg and backward point inside the ring along with cover. Where will Curran look to go?
19.3
Ottniel Baartman to Connor Esterhuizen, 1 run, to cover
19.2
Ottniel Baartman to Connor Esterhuizen, no run
19.1
Ottniel Baartman to Connor Esterhuizen, SIX, wow! Esterhuizen says to Curran that he can also strike them big. But once again the batter is helped by some ordinary bowling. Baartman offers a friendly full toss and Esterhuizen swings off the sweet spot
Ottniel Baartman [3.0-0-26-3] is back into the attack
15 runs | 6 balls. What that decision off not taking the single and hitting the six has done is kept Esterhuizen on strike for the start of the final over. Baartman to bowl.
