Durban Heat vs Cape Town Blitz, 9th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Kyle Abbott to Riaz, out Caught by Sarel Erwee!! And, Riaz has gone! Tries to repeat the shot he played off the previous delivery. This time it was a very full and the ball ballooned up off the outer half as Riaz tried to open his bat-face (in an attempt to elevate it over short third man). End result - spoons a simple catch to backward point. Riaz c Sarel Erwee b Kyle Abbott 4(2) [4s-1]

Kyle Abbott to Riaz, FOUR, wow! Riaz was in the position to scoop even before the ball was delivered. Abbott misses his yorker and ends up bowling a low full toss. A calm Riaz periscoped it over short third man

Siboto to Asif Ali, out Caught by Subrayen!! Good catch at deep point! Siboto missed his mark by an inch with this wide yorker. Asif Ali stayed deep in his crease and crouched low to get underneath it and slice it over backward point. Made good contact, but couldn't get the required elevation. Subrayen, the fielder in the deep, got into a tangle as over-ran forward. But, he recovered well in the end and snaffled it with a leap. Asif Ali c Subrayen b Siboto 43(26) [4s-2 6s-4]

Phehlukwayo to George Linde, FOUR, 20 off the over! Phehlukwayo strangely resorts back to the slower ball and pays the price. Ends up bowling a half-volley and Linde has ample time to drill it away through extra cover. No chance for the long-off fielder

Phehlukwayo to Asif Ali, FOUR, Phehlukwayo bowls this slower ball right in the batsman's zone. Overpitched outside off, Asif Ali crouches low to get under it and thumps it over extra cover

Phehlukwayo to Asif Ali, SIX, a juicy full toll and Asif Ali takes heavy toll of it. Allows the ball to come to him and hacks it over deep mid-wicket. Came of the meat of the bat

Bopara to Asif Ali, SIX, 15 off the over! Slower ball, but it was an overpitched delivery from Bopara. Asif Ali gets forward and slogs it over cow corner with a lifted back leg. The man in the deep fancied his chance for a moment, but the ball eluded his leap

Bopara to MJ Ackerman, out Caught by Kyle Abbott!! Ackerman tries to experiment and perishes. Reverses his stance and looks to broom this fullish ball away. The ball though catches the toe end and balloons up a long way in the air. Abbott treks back from short third man and holds onto the catch. MJ Ackerman c Kyle Abbott b Bopara 43(34) [4s-3 6s-1]

Bopara to Asif Ali, SIX, in the arc and Asif Ali has deposited. A half-volley, Asif Ali smacks it straight over the bowler's head for a maximum

Siboto to Asif Ali, FOUR, short delivery, Asif Ali waits for the ball on the back foot and short-arm-jabs it over mid-wicket. Couple of bounces and into the fence

Bopara to Asif Ali, SIX, cracking shot, fuller length delivery outside off, Asif gets a big stride forward and lifts it nonchalnatly over long-off for a maximum

Siboto to MJ Ackerman, FOUR, top-edge and four, short and at the stumps, Ackerman went a long way across on the pull, got a fat top-edge, but has enough to clear the keeper, couple of bounces and over the ropes

Maharaj to Livingstone, out Caught by Sarel Erwee!! Much needed wicket for Durban - Livingstone is done in by the slowness of the track, dropped short and wide of off, never came onto Livingstone as he backed away on the cut, went too hard on the shot and sliced a simple catch to Erwee at backward point. Livingstone c Sarel Erwee b Maharaj 25(16) [4s-2 6s-1]

Bopara to Livingstone, FOUR, that's a poor delivery from Bopara, full-toss down leg and Livingstone helps himself to a boundary - clipped off the pads with fine leg inside the ring

Maharaj to MJ Ackerman, FOUR, more runs for Ackerman, comes down the track, frees his arms and lifts it back over the bowler's head, couple of bounces and over the ropes

Subrayen to Livingstone, SIX, that's a massive hit, a little shimmy down the track, gets close to the ball and lifts it high and over long-on for a maximum

Subrayen to MJ Ackerman, FOUR, beautifully played, Ackerman comes down the track, made room as he did so, opened up the off-side and then played an inside out drive over cover for a boundary

Maharaj to MJ Ackerman, SIX, lovely, tossed up well outside off, Ackerman gets down low and sweeps it high and over mid-wicket for a maximum

Kyle Abbott to Livingstone, FOUR, that was risky, Livingstone went a long way across, exposed his leg-stump and then flicked a low full-toss behind square on the on-side. Abbott is on the turf and on his knees - knew it was very close

Phehlukwayo to Janneman Malan, out Lbw!! Loud shout and the umpire sends Malan on his way - was it a tad high though? Seems OK on replays, on a length and nipping back into the right-hander, Malan was caught in the crease as he pushed forward, was playing with a slightly bent knee, rapped just above the knee-roll and bang in front of middle, at worst, would have been hitting the top of off-stump. Janneman Malan lbw b Phehlukwayo 13(13) [6s-1]

Phehlukwayo to Janneman Malan, SIX, smashed, length delivery at the stumps, Malan leans forward, uses the length and then heaves it high and over mid-on, didn't get complete hold of the shot, but has enough to clear the ropes

Phehlukwayo to de Kock, out Bowled!! Chopped on! That's a big wicket for Phehlukwayo, on a good length and angling across the left-hander, de Kock backed away on the drive, think the ball stopped on him a bit, he was late on the shot, got a big inside edge and the ball rattled the leg-stump. de Kock b Phehlukwayo 17(13) [4s-3]

Phehlukwayo to de Kock, FOUR, Phehlukwayo drags this one short and down the leg-side, pulled away behind square on the on-side for a boundary - basically a free-hit for de Kock with that length

Kyle Abbott to de Kock, FOUR, cracking shot, too full and well wide of off, de Kock gets a big stride forward and drills it back past the bowler, beats mid-off to his left and rolls away to the ropes

Maharaj to de Kock, FOUR, lovely, fraction too short and wide of off, de Kock makes room and cuts it behind square on the off-side, past the diving fielder and rolls to the boundary
