Time for the post-match presentation.
10:40 PM IST, 7:10 PM Local Time: The rollercoaster ride between table toppers finally ends up as Cape Town Samp Army wins the match by 4 Wickets. Janat and Gurbaz held their nerve firmly and took their team on the winning side.
Chasing the target of 92 runs the start for Samp Army was not good. Tadiwanshe Marumani the hero of the last match got out early in the first over of Mohammad Amir. Bhanuka Rajapaksa coming at No. 3 didn't stay much as he got out in the very next over after hitting a six.
Rahanamullah Gurbaz held the inning from the other and continued scoring runs. Karim Janat coming at No. 4 played the inning of the match. His inning of 48 runs in 17 delivery helped the team to end the run chase. The 18 runs of Mohammad Amir in his last was the match-changing over.
Durban Qalandars didn't have many runs on the board to defend it against the strong batting lineup. Batting early in the match Qalandar's start was not good as they lost wickets at regular intervals. The only inning of Hazaratullah Zazai took the team over 90 runs. Thanks to George Linde's cameo of 25 runs in 13 deliveries. Dupavillon and Chatara bowled brilliantly and gave some early strikes to Cape Town Samp Army. They both got two wickets each, whereas Amir and Abbas got 1-1 wicket each.
Firstly very clinical with the ball and then wrapped up the things with the bat. Cape Town Samp Army stays straight up in the table with this victory. Qalandars with this loss stays at the second position.
Thanks to Karim Janat's all-around performance of 48 runs with the bat and 2 for 17 with the ball helped the Cape Town Samp Army to sail over the line and get on the winning side.
