In the Durban’s Super Giants versus MI Cape Town cricket match, the latter showcased an adept batting display, managing to post a modest total of 157/6.
Despite the middle order faltering, a crucial lower-order partnership of 39 runs between Matthew Breetzke and Wiaan Mulder enabled their team to surpass the 150-run mark.
During the chase, DSG faced difficulties after losing key players JJ Smuts and South African star Heinrich Klassen. Marcus Stoinis, displaying dominance with a splendid boundary off Kagiso Rabada, later faced a setback when a momentary lapse in concentration led to a hit wicket.
In the 15th over, a rapid short delivery by Olly Stone prompted Stoinis to hastily attempt a pull shot. However, the execution was flawed, causing the ball to travel behind square, ultimately resulting in Stoinis unintentionally knocking out the off stump.

Stoinis, taken aback, expressed disbelief and frustration as he stormed back to the pavilion. Meanwhile, Olly Stone was visibly charged up, letting out a roar, and his teammates shared a moment of laughter at Stoinis’s unexpected blunder.
