Magala bowled the second over of the innings and sent Rickelton (7) back to the hut early in the innings. Baartman also bowled inside the powerplay and also got the wicket of Roelofen to help the team pick two wickets inside the first six overs.
Dewald Brewis (15 off 28), who struggled throughout his innings, got out off Markram in the 8th over. Markram also sent Curran back to the hut in his next over to leave the team in all sorts of trouble at 52 for 4 inside the first 10 overs.
