Anrich Nortje to Reeza Hendricks. Reverse Swing-In full toss, down leg side deep in crease flick, mis-timed to fine leg for 1 run, fielded by Jansen. That brings us to the end of the first innings, and MI Cape Town have posted a decent total on the board. The innings was anchored by a classy knock from Reeza Hendricks, who struck a well-composed 70, while George Linde provided valuable impetus with a quick-fire cameo. Credit must go to the Eastern Cape bowlers, who kept things tight for the most part and prevented the innings from running away. Chris Green was the standout performer, leading the attack with an impressive three-wicket haul and applying the brakes at crucial moments. Can Eastern Cape rise to the challenge and chase down this target, or will MI Cape Town defend it successfully and keep their playoff hopes alive? Stay with us as the chase unfolds.
