Joburg Super Kings Win SA20’s First Super Over to Go Top

Donovan Ferreira’s last-ball run-out triggered the tie, with Richard Gleeson’s tight Super Over setting up Rilee Rossouw to finish the chase.

Overview

  • Regulation ended 205-205 at the Wanderers after Ferreira’s direct hit ran out Eathan Bosch on the final ball of Durban’s chase.
  • Ferreira was Player of the Match for a rare multi-role display that included 33* off 10 balls, 1/24 with the ball, and wicketkeeping duties.
  • Richard Gleeson bowled the Super Over and restricted Durban to very few runs; reports vary on whether he conceded five or six and he was credited with a wicket in most accounts.
  • Joburg’s total was set up by Shubham Ranjane’s maiden SA20 fifty and an 89-run opening stand from Faf du Plessis and Matthew de Villiers, before Rilee Rossouw struck two boundaries to seal the Super Over chase.
  • The victory gave Joburg Super Kings a 3-0 start and first place on the SA20 table as the league’s only unbeaten side.
