Commentary

We have a news from the middle and this is not something we are looking forward to after a long wait. Yes, the match has been abandoned. The groundstaffs did their best to clear the water puddles but still the umpires weren't happy with the condition of the ground. Both teams share the spoils and this is a bad news for the home team as they were in a must win situation to stay alive in the competition. The unpredictable Durban weather had the final say and the Super Giants have to settle for an inevitable. Do join us for tomorrow for more Cricket coverage, until then, this is Pragadeesh and Arya saying goodbye and goodnight

YAYYYYYYYY We have the hairdryers out... #SA20

8:00 PM local, 23:30 PM IST: The groundstaffs doing their best in the middle to clear the water puddles and the good news is that there is no rain for the last 45 minutes

07:35 PM local, 23:05 PM IST: The rain has eased down but plenty of puddles are all across the ground and it will take a substantial amount of time to clear those. Hope we at least get a 5 over game in.

07:25 PM local time, 10:55 PM IST: It's still raining in Durban and play unlikely to resume anytime soon.

Oh my word! It's bucketing down at the moment and the big covers are being brought on to cover the pitch. This is surely not the passing shower and some of the fans are making their way to the exit

JJ Smuts goes down and looks like he needs some medical attention. Once again the bounce and the movement are so unpredictable here in Durban

5.3 Keemo Paul to JJ Smuts, that has hit Smuts on the box. On a length around off and Smuts gets an inside edge onto the area where no batter likes to get hit. He looks in severe pain here.

5.2 Keemo Paul to JJ Smuts, bowls it well wide outside off and Keemo Paul has to reload that.

5.2 Keemo Paul to JJ Smuts, FOUR! What a shot that is from Smuts, again a half-volley on the stumps, Smuts stands tall and a crisp straight drive past the bowler and off to the fence. Two delightful shots from Smuts. Oh no it's a no ball as well.

5.1 Keemo Paul to JJ Smuts, FOUR! That is beautifully played by Smuts, a full delivery around off, punches this with authority and it beats the mid-off fielder.

Keemo Paul, right-arm medium fast, comes into the attack

Markram is always a big wicket but Mulder didn't celebrate. That was hit-me delivery from Mulder and he instantly knows that he was lucky to get away with that.

4.6 Wiaan Mulder to JJ Smuts, works away the back of a length delivery on the body down towards dep backward square leg for a single.

JJ Smuts, RHB, walks in at no.5

4.5 Wiaan Mulder to Aiden Markram, WICKET! Boundary and gone. Not the greatest of deliveries from Mulder to be honest. A half-volley on the pads which has been flicked straight down the throat of the midwicket fielder. Mulder seems to be embarrassed, he knew it was a hit-me delivery. Fuller angling into the pads and Markram's eyes lit up there, an aerial flick and finds the fielder.

4.4 Wiaan Mulder to Aiden Markram, FOUR! Up and over and off to the fence. Markram doesn't play that with conviction but a boundary nonetheless. Back of a length delivery around off, bit of extra bounce and Markram slices that from the outside half which flies over the point region for a boundary.

4.3 Wiaan Mulder to Aiden Markram, fuller-length this time angling into Markram. Driven on the up but finds the mid-on fielder.

4.2 Wiaan Mulder to Adam Rossington, Rossington is off and running. Back of a length delivery around middle, a defensive shot towards the off side and scampers through for a quick single.

4.1 Wiaan Mulder to Aiden Markram, taps away the length delivery a shade outside off towards the point region and takes a quick single.
