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

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.
