The Durban Super Giants Vs MI Cape Town, SA20 match will be telecast on Star Sports 2, Star Sports HD, and Sports 18-2 TV channels in India. It will be live streamed on the Disney+ Hotstar app and website in India.

A win today will take MI Cape Town on the top of the standings. They are currently second with three wins and two losses. Durban Super Giants are currently languishing at the bottom of the table with just one win out of five matches.

Shaun Pollock on air says there is a 40% chance of rain and it might be a truncated game. Short boundaries in Durban means there is a good chance that it might be a high-scoring game.

We are ready to begin with match number 16 of the SA20. MI Cape Town openers walk out and so do the Durban Super Giants fielders. An important game for both these teams today. Here we go

A tidy first over to begin proceedings from Dwaine Pretorius. Van der Dussen plays five balls and scores just a single while his partner Rickelton opened his account on the very first ball he faced.

MICT 2/0 (1)

Junior Dala dismisses Ryan Rickelton! First wicket of the game and the pressure that the DSG bowlers were creating has now bore fruit. Rickelton was trying to attack but drags this one on to his stumps. Van der Dussen's inability to score fast has resulted in Rickelton going back to the pavillion. A decent start for both teams so far.

MICT 34/1 (4)

A mixed powerplay for both sides. MI Cape Town have lost only one wicket but they have not been able to find boundaries consistently. Junior Dala and Dwaine Pretorius bowled two good overs each for DSG. And now the spinners will take over.

MICT 49/1(6)

Rashid Khan has promoted himself to number five. It has been a really slow first half of the innings for MICT. Van der Dussen is batting at 33 but he has played 30 balls for it. Ingram has followed Hendricks and Rickelton to the pavillion. MICT now need quick runs and Rashid perhaps can provide that.

MICT 62/3 (10)

The heavens have opened up. Play has stopped. Players are back in the pavillion. Let us see how long will the delay impact the game.

MICT 69/3 (11)

It is still raining in Durban and we will surely not have a full match now.

No signs of start of play. We are quickly heading towards the territory where this game could be abandoned.

Rain just did not relent so we had to and the game has been washed out. Both teams will share a point each.

We got just 11 overs of cricket before rain decided it wants to take over the proceedings. The result takes MI Cape Town on top, level on points with Paarl Royals while Durban Super Giants continue to stay at bottom.

That was it for today. Do not forget to join tomorrow for another SA20 match. Good bye.
