MI Cape Town got to a target of106 in 16.2 overs
It happened on the first ball of the 8th over, where Aaron Phangiso bowled a full ball wide of off stump. It was in the slot for Brevis and he did not look at the ball but ended up lofting it over long off with a bent back leg. He got down low and slogged it over the mid-wicket region for six. It went off the middle of the bat and went long.
