A high-voltage clash between Joburg Super Kings and Durban’s Super Giants turned into a nail-biter as fans witnessed drama right till the final ball at the Wanderers Stadium. With pressure at its peak, Donovan Ferreira emerged as the standout performer, holding his nerve in the field to keep the Super Kings alive and force the contest into a Super Over.
Batting first, Joburg Super Kings put up an imposing total of 205/4. Shubham Ranjane anchored the innings with a composed unbeaten 50 off 31 balls, ensuring stability through the middle overs. The momentum, however, truly shifted in the death overs when Donovan Ferreira unleashed a blistering assault, smashing 33 not out from just 10 deliveries, including four towering sixes that electrified the crowd.
In reply, Durban’s Super Giants matched the intensity, keeping pace with the steep run rate throughout their chase. They reached 205/8 at the end of 20 overs, setting up a dramatic finish. With just one run needed off the final ball, the match seemed destined to slip away from the Super Kings — until Ferreira produced a moment of brilliance behind the stumps.
