Meanwhile, @ABdeVilliers17 has shown us today that there is no rustiness at all to his batting. Incredible. Has almost certainly set up a win for his team. In a different league so far today.

3TC Solidarity Match
The unique match is currently underway between three teams comprising of eight players each. It will be a 36-over contest divided into two halves of 18 overs each. Each innings will last 12 overs that will be further divided into two six-over periods in each half. A draw will be conducted to ascertain which team will bat, bowl or be the third team that will wait in the dug-out in the first half. The team with the most number of runs across the two halves will be the winner. Reeza Hendricks' team needs 161 to beat de Villiers and his men at the first-ever 3TC match.
