14.2
Kwena Maphaka to Carey, no ball, 2 runs, that's a nasty delivery. Slipped out of Kwena Maphaka's hands. Turns out to be a high full-toss and at Carey who is on the charge, awkwardly bunts it in front of deep mid-wicket and it's a no-ball for height. Immediate apology from Maphaka to the batter

Kwena Maphaka to Maxwell, out Caught by Brevis!! And out next ball. Full on middle and leg, Maxwell shovels and picks out deep mid-wicket, good catch there by Brevis who judged it well, diving forward and to his left to take it. Replays show that Kwena Maphaka rolled his fingers over that ball, came out like an off-cutter. Maxwell is disappointed that he has found the fielder. Maxwell c Brevis b Kwena Maphaka 16(10) [4s-1 6s-1]

3.3
W
Kwena Maphaka to Green, out Caught by Nqabayomzi Peter!! Fair call that from the third ump. It's a superb catch at mid-wicket.. It's short of length on off, Green pulls flat and Peter dives to his right and gets low with both hands to take it inches from the turf. As he gets up to throw the ball away in celebration, it hits the thigh and falls to ground. But by then he already had enough control of the catch. The third ump has a look and feels Peter has done enough. Shades of Herschelle Gibbs in the 99 World Cup against Australia. This time the decision goes in SA's favor. Green c Nqabayomzi Peter b Kwena Maphaka 9(7) [4s-2]
3.2
