9:22pm: Sunrisers Eastern Cape win by 44 runs. They've been excellent tonight. The decision to promote Jansen to 4 worked wonders. Then they bounced back superbly with the ball after Roy and Buttler threatened to take the game away from them in the powerplay. Dawson and Harmer bowled well in the middle overs, Worrall and Swanepoel chipped in too, with great variations. Jansen picked up two wickets as well, on what will eventually be remembered as his night. The Royals will have to go back to the drawing board now, after a third straight loss. They're heading into the playoffs with minimal momentum.

Harmer to Fortuin, 1 run, The bonus point is theirs, and Sunrisers will finish in the top two! Fortuin looks to slog sweep this, but gets it really high, but on the bounce to deep backward square leg

Harmer needs to concede 3 or less off the last ball for Sunrisers to win the bonux point

Harmer to Ngidi, 1 run, really full length on leg stump, turned to deep backward square

Harmer to Ngidi, no run, Looks to repeat the trick, but Harmer is clever and fires in a wide yorker

Harmer to Ngidi, SIX, Ngidi is threatening to take the bonus point away from Markram's men. Length ball on middle and leg again, Ngidi smashes that flat over long-on, where Dawson jumps but the ball just evades him

19.2

Harmer to Ngidi, SIX, Big six first ball from Ngidi! Length ball on middle and leg, Ngidi gets in position and absolutely nails it over midwicket

19.1

Harmer to Fortuin, 1 run, short and wide, cut away nicely to deep point

Harmer will bowl the final over. He's defending 18 off 6 here, for the bonus point. Ngidi walks in for the Royals
