Commentary

It is a big cricket day across the globe tomorrow. We shall rest till then. This is Dwaipayan Mukherjee, signing off with my co-commentator Rajarshi Das.

We had plenty of exciting cricket today, some brilliant individual performances as well. Tomorrow we will have Pretoria Capitals taking on the defending champions - Sunrisers Eastern Cape, catch us for that one! We will be bringing you all the action.

Reeza Hendricks, Player of the Match : They bowled really well, the wicket was stopping a bit and the innings of Moeen at the end also helped me to get going. I thought 150 would have been par, but the wicket got better and in the second innings it came on a lot better.

Jos Buttler, Paarl Royals captain : Really happy. The wicket played quite tricky, there is not much margin for error. Both innings went the same way in terms of how it panned out. Lubbe showed great character and great maturity and Vilas showed great energy in the end. The clarity with the ball is important, the coaches have given simple plans to which the guys are sticking to. We are not worried about our position at the minute, the games keep coming thick and fast and we can hopefully ride on this momentum.

Faf du Plessis, Joburg Super Kings captain: Batting first, we felt like it was a par score. It was a difficult deck to score runs. As the game progressed, you could see the ball skidding on a little bit more, was a little bit easier to bat towards the end. 10-15 more runs would have helped us. They batted well in that middle period, but we gave a few too many soft runs at that stage. Probably the difference. It's almost like a game of two halves. The first innings you think 140-150 is a competitive total, and then in the second innings you see the ball stopped gripping a little bit. We felt 160 was going to be par. We saw someone like Reeza not time it well early, started timing it better towards the last three overs or so. Skidded a bit more on. You need to do the small things right, stop those soft runs, make sure you compete in all departments in a close game as this one. We clawed our way back with the bat in the latter stages today. Would have been interesting to see some of our big boys such as Donavon Ferreira at the back end. For me, it's just making sure we do the small things better. One or two half chances, soft overthrows, you count all of those, it's over 20 runs.

Match summary:

Paarl Royals (171/5) defeat Johannesburg Super Kings (168/3) by 5 wickets

Wihan Lubbe 57 (48) | Dane Vilas 42 (26)
Moeen Ali - 2/31| Imran Tahir - 1/21

As Mark Nicholas puts it on-air, "it has been a quirky night, with some unusual things happening". We were always on the edge of our seats throughout that chase. Fabian Allen did not wait for the ball to reach the stands before he raised his arms aloft because he knew he had connected with that one pretty well.

They have won another last over thriller - with the other one coming in SuperSport Park. This win takes Paarl Royals to 22 points which virtually seals their spot in the qualifications scenario for the knock-outs.

It was not always hunky dory for the men in pink. Their regular stars in Roy and Buttler did not run away with the game at the start. Burger bowled with great pace, it was entertaining stuff, he was seaming the ball around, very unfortunate that he returns home without any wickets.

At 55/3 after 9 overs, the chances looked brighter for the home side with 2 batters who did not do an awful lot for the Royals. It was really pleasing to see new heroes in Dane Vilas and Wihan Lubbe step up to the occasion. The latter struggled initially but then took control after the strategy break.

The duo put them in a strong position to win the match, stitching a 95 run stand in less than nine overs. It was fine work by the table toppers who have strengthened their grip at the pole position. For Johannesburg Super Kings, there is a lot of work to do. We will bring you the post-match reactions shortly.

19.1 Andile Phehlukwayo to Fabian Allen, SIX! No-nonsense finish - Fabian Allen gets it done with five balls to spare! Truth be told, this was a slot delivery, full, just outside off stump. Allen had a swing through the line, met it right, and the ball sailed over the long off boundary! Oh. and by the way, Phehlukwayo overstepped as well!

5 runs needed from the final over!

18.6 Nandre Burger to Dane Vilas, OUT! Vilas might have run himself out here! Yorker, pitched up outside off stump. Vilas dug this one towards deep mid wicket right through his legs. It was Allen who called his partner for a brace, Vilas was a touch hesitant about it, he went through with it as Burger chased after it himself, put the dive in as Ferreira gathered a throw on the bounce and broke the stumps as Vilas dived in. The third umpire has a look, and gives Vilas the marching orders!

Dane Vilas run out (Nandre Burger/Donavon Ferreira) 42 (26b, 4x4, 1x6)

18.5 Nandre Burger to Dane Vilas, full outside off, Vilas tries for a reverse ramp and misses. Vilas slips trying to get back having set off for a bye, makes it back

Oh, such drama! One moment you think Paarl Royals are cruising to a victory, a wicket falls, there is tension then a no-ball kind of fizzles out all the excitement!

18.4 Nandre Burger to Fabian Allen, slower one, Allen has a swing at it, misses out. Hang on... what's happened here? The Super Kings players are appealing for an obstruction against Fabian Allen... here's what happened. The batters looked to scamper through for a bye as Ferreira tossed the ball to Burger. Allen came in between the throw, and deflected the ball away as Vilas momentarily hesitated as well!

18.3 Nandre Burger to Fabian Allen, SIX! Short of a length outside leg stump, Allen gives himself room and slaps this one down the ground. The ball flew high up towards long on off the upper splice of the blade, and ended up just over the ropes!

18.2 Nandre Burger to Fabian Allen, low full toss on leg stump, turned towards deep fine softly. Allen turns back for the second, gets it

The worst thing that could happen - a no ball! Allen gets served a free hit and he must put it out of the park

18.2 Nandre Burger to Fabian Allen, pacy full toss on middle, Allen mistimes this one towards long on. The batters push for a brace as the throw ends up wide at the keeper's. Burger seems to have clipped the stumps at the bowler's with his foot in his release - no ball has been called!

18.1 Nandre Burger to Fabian Allen, whoosh! On a fullish length on middle and leg, Allen swings at thin air as this one whistles over middle stump!

18 runs needed from 12 balls! We have a twist in the plot. Tahir responds and we have a game now! Another wicket here would definitely set the cat among the pigeons!
