Woah. WOAH. WOOAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! We’ve not just turned the game on its head, we’ve done it so clinically with a bonus point in our kitty that we’ve gone on to top the table.  

Never losing hope, even at 97/0

The Joburg Super Kings were off to a real flier, with Faf du Plessis and Devon Conway setting the platform. At 97/0 in the 11^th over, it really looked like MI Cape Town were going to be on a leather hunt tonight. But in typical fashion, we turned it around. And the turnaround came from someone least suspected. Reeza Hendricks, the star batter, rolled his arm over, foxed Conway in the loop to get him stumped, got rid of Wihan Lube a couple of overs later, and just like that, restricted JSK to a pretty under-par 172. 

Rickelton, never in a pickle

89 runs | 39 balls | 8 fours | 6 sixes. Ryan Rickelton, making a return to the side and to the top of the order, was in no mood to back down. He absolutely nailed his authority and killed the game with Rassie van der Dussen and Reeze Hendricks giving him good company with useful 30s. 

Just brutal hitting, all through

None of our batters missed out. None of their bowlers was spared. Take the 14^th over for instance when Rickelton just cut loose – 4, 4, 4, 6, 2, 6. Young Dewald Brevis walked in, smashed Matheesha Pathirana for a massive 99m six first ball, flexed his muscle, and ensured we sealed the win with the bonus point. 

Table toppers, it has a wonderful ring to it. SA20 2025, we are coming for you!
