Good evening viewers. This is the live coverage of the second SA20 match of the day. Durban Super Giants are up against Joburg Super Kings with both sides aiming to get second win of the tournament.
Joburg Super Kings captain Faf du Plessis won the toss and decided to bat first.
Durban Super Giants Playing XI: Brandon King, Matthew Breetzke, Quinton de Kock(w), Wiaan Mulder, Heinrich Klaasen, Jason Smith, Chris Woakes, Prenelan Subrayen, Keshav Maharaj(c), Naveen-ul-Haq, Noor Ahmad
Joburg Super Kings Playing XI: Devon Conway, Faf du Plessis(c), Leus du Plooy, Jonny Bairstow(w), Wihan Lubbe, Donovan Ferreira, David Wiese, Gerald Coetzee, Matheesha Pathirana, Tabraiz Shamsi, Imran Tahir
Here we go then. Prenelan Subrayen, off spinner, with the ball and Devon Conway alongside Faf du Plessis in the middle for the Super Kings.
JSK 2/1 (1)
The very first over and the Super Giants have a wicket. That too a big one. Super Kings skipper Faf du Plessis departs. He can just score 1 and Subrayen is the one who gets the wicket. Good start for the Super Giants.
Conway and du Plooy have stitched a good free-flowing partnership so far since the last ball of the first over when Faf du Plessis lost his wicket. Not the quickest of starts but both the batters are looking good. Three good overs from Prenelan Subrayen who has given away just 19 runs and taken a wicket.
JSK 45/1 (6)
Maharaj gets a wicket straightaway. The Super Giants skipper brings himself into attack despite having two left-handers in front of him and he reaps the fruits of the risk he takes. Devon Conway goes back for 22.
JSK 61/2 (8)
Durban Super Giants spinners have done well so far in this game. Maharaj has bowled his four-over spell for 28 and Subrayen has spent 24 in his quota of four overs. Both of them have taken a couple of wickets each.
JSK 120/4 (15)
Coetzee finishes off in style. He smashes two sixes off the final two deliveries and take the target to 170.
JSK 169/7 (20)
A good end to the Joburg Super Kings innings. Leus du Plooy scored 38, the highest, but small contributions came up throughout and JSK are at 169/7.
Second ball boundary for Brandon King. Overpitched from David Wiese and King slams his drive to perfection. A good first over for both sides.
DSG 7/0 (1)
Durban Super Giants have touched 50 and the powerplay too has ended. Both teams can feel they have split the first six overs. Super Giants have scored fifty runs but Super Kings have taken two wickets. Interesting start to the match.
DSG 50/2 (6) need 120 runs in 84 balls
Durban are now pinning their hopes on the dangerous duo of Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen. The target is still quite far away but if these two find rhythm, things could turn very quickly in favour of the Super Giants in this game.
DSG 77/4 (10) need 93 runs in 60 balls
de Kock is the key here. The runs are still within reach but who will give enough assistance to de Kock among the DSG tail?
DSG 120/7 (15) need 50 runs in 30 balls
Joburg Super Kings won by 28 runs!
JSK 169/7 (20)
DSG 141 (18)
Joburg Super Kings prevail over Durban Super Giants. JSK managed just 169 and a lot of there batters contributed with small numbers to take the team to that mark. With the ball, JSK were on point as they did not let Durban Super Giants get off the hook. Quinton de Kock scored a half-century but did not get enough support from the other end. And the difference between the two teams was 28 runs.
