DSG vs JSK: What Happened When They Last Played?
The last time Durban Super Giants showcased a commanding performance to defeat Joburg Super Kings by 69 runs in the SA20 Qualifier 2 held in Johannesburg on February 8, 2024. The Super Giants secured their place in the final with a clinical display, excelling with both bat and ball.
After being put in to bat, Durban's Heinrich Klaasen led the charge with a blistering 74 off just 30 balls. Wiaan Mulder added to the carnage with a quickfire 50 off 23 deliveries, helping the Super Giants post an imposing total of 211/6. Joburg’s bowlers struggled to contain the onslaught, though Nandre Burger and Doug Bracewell managed to claim two wickets each.
In response, the Joburg Super Kings crumbled under pressure. Their skipper, Faf du Plessis, and opener Leus du Plooy failed to provide the solid start the team desperately needed. The batting lineup collapsed, with no meaningful resistance, and the Super Kings were bundled out for just 142 runs.
