Full commentary

Frenetic finish, and a cruel way to end for Sisanda Magala in particular, who up until then had bowled a phenomenal final over. It all ends in vain, though, and the Super Kings seal a thrilling win.

19.5
5nb
Magala to du Plooy, (no ball) FOUR runs

squeezes it through square leg for four, and the scores are level! The scores are level, and Super Kings have an opportunity to win it now. Actually, it's a no-ball, and the Super Kings have won

19.4
1
Magala to Shepherd, 1 run

high full toss, but it's missed! Thumps him on the pads and it's a dot ball!

Duncan : "Whatever the outcome, Magala has been very impressive."

19.3
1
Magala to du Plooy, 1 run

absolutely exceptional execution. Another yorker, this one dug out towards midwicket, and they can only get a single

19.2
1
Magala to Shepherd, 1 run

another near-perfect yorker that gets just enough tail into the right hander. Gets an inside edge and the pair scamper through for one

19.1
Magala to Shepherd, no run

barrels in a perfect yorker that he can do absolutely nothing with. 8 off 5 now

18.5
van der Merwe to Shepherd, no run

squeezed to extra cover, but there's no single there! The crowd erupt once more

Ram: "I really thought they would finish in 16 overs for bonus point - but it looks like 19.5 overs now after 8 wickets."

18.4
1
van der Merwe to du Plooy, 1 run

superb fielding from Erwee and somehow what was a nailed-on for is only one. It was a hard hit straight drive that Erwee needed to dive to his left to prevent

18.3
1
van der Merwe to Shepherd, 1 run

low full toss, he absolutely pummels it back down the ground, and van der Merwe does remarkably to get fingertips to it to prevent it going for four

the low full toss is timed to long-on and he keeps the strike

Magala to du Plooy, FOUR runs

tried to catch it in the deep with a forward dive, but misses it clean and it goes away for four! Is that the game for the Super Kings?

Magala to du Plooy, FOUR runs

comes down the track and slashes it through point. Gets the toe-end of the bat and speeds past point for a crucial boundary

17.2
2
Magala to du Plooy, 2 runs

steps away to create room and the bowler follows him. Works it down the ground and calls for two. Good running from the pair to get back

John: "Strange cricket when what should be an easy 8 runs per over is playing as hard as 16 runs per over would in another league." It's purely pressure, there's no way conditions are tricky enough to make such hard work of this chase
