Crafty: "It's definitely a respectable total if you have Rabada, Curran, Khan, Smith and Linde as your bowling attack. Bring Archer in and it's pretty terrifying!"

Luke Matema: "It's as if George Linde and his teammates were playing on a different pitch. "

Shivam : "Amazing how Linde's boundaries came in pair.. A six followed by a four. Last one was a four and then a six. Speaks of his intent to press hard when he gets a hit."

7.11pm A special knock from George Linde takes MI Cape Town to a respectable total on a surface that is aiding pace. The Sunrisers bowlers were all over Cape Town early on and applied the squeeze. Brevis could only manage 15 off 28 as Cape Town were reduced to 58 for 4 in the tenth over. But, RVD and Linde staged a 59-run stand off 33 balls. Linde was the aggressor as he finished on an unbeaten 63 off 28 balls with four fours and five sixes. It was down to him that Cape Town reached 158. Having said that, Sunrisers were disciplined all through with Baartman taking three wickets and Magala and Markram picking two. Can Sunrisers score their first points of the season? Won't be easy against a fiery Cape Town attack. Join Ekanth in a bit to find out.

Baartman to Rashid Khan, OUT, Cleans him up last ball with a change of pace! Great comeback from Baartman in the last three balls. Rolls the fingers across the length ball on off. Rashid gets low to swing it away, misses and the off bail goes for a toss, and is in fact, broken.

Baartman to Linde, 2 runs, Another low full toss on the stumps, he backs away and a slight misfield at extra cover allows them an extra run. Harsh to call that a misfield to be honest. Magala did his best at extra cover

Baartman to Linde, FOUR, Top, top shot from Linde. Nothing wrong with the ball, was in fact a very good yorker outside off. Linde backs away and squirts it past point for a four. Highest T20 score for him.

Baartman to Potgieter, OUT, Sunrisers keeps striking! Back of a length seam-up ball around middle and leg. He looks to flick it squarer, but gets a massive top-edge with the ball going straight up. Jansen gets around and takes a good catch around the short fine leg region.

Srinivasan: "" More than a batsman Linde is a very clever left arm spin bowler. Could be 2nd spinner in India accompanying Maharaj or Shamsi. This would give cushion to Bavuma for batting as well as bowling ""

Jansen to Smith, OUT, Miscues the back of a length ball, and that will test the fielder again. But Fuller does really well to hold on. Smith was going only one way. Looks to slam it away. Ends up dragging it to deep midwicket who runs in, settles himself and takes very good catch.
