Durban’s Super Giants clinched a nervy win over the visiting Pretoria Capitals in match number two of the SA20 2025 season at the Kingsmead Cricket Ground in Durban. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Will Jack unfurled majestic run-chase specials with blistering half-centuries during their colossal opening partnership, before Super Giants bowlers conjured a spirited fightback in the slog overs.

Here’s the timeline of how Super Giants vs Capitals panned out in Durban:

Super Giants vs Capitals Highlights: Muthusamy Douses Fiery DSG Start With Three-Fer

Durban’s Super Giants raced to 67-0 in just six overs after home captain Keshav Maharaj won the toss and opted to bat first. Super Giants openers Bryce Parsons and Matthew Breetzke set themselves off with an outbreak of powerplay boundaries against the Capitals’ new ball attack.

While Breetzke made a brisk 33 off 20, Parsons slapped a belligerent 28-ball 47 before both well-set batters were toppled by Capitals’ left-arm spinner Senuran Muthusamy in the space of his two overs. Muthusamy (3-21) also trapped Quinton de Kock for 15, and part-timer Liam Livingstone got rid of dangerman Heinrich Klaasen for a two-ball duck as the Durban’s Super Giants slipped to 118-4 in 13.3 overs.

Super Giants vs Capitals Highlights: Williamson And Wiaan Mulder Bolt DSG Past 200

Overcoming Durban Super Giants’ middle-order setback, senior man Kane Williamson forged 91 runs with number six Wiaan Mulder for the fifth wicket. Bolting their team past the 200-run mark, the two cricketers consumed just six-and-a-half overs in their belligerent partnership as the Durban’s Super Giants hauled 209-4 from 20 overs.

Williamson top-scored in the innings with a regal 60* from 40 balls with three boundaries and two sixes, while Mulder smeared 45* off just 19 deliveries, unleashing a sequence of four boundaries and three huge maximums in the process.

Super Giants vs Capitals Highlights: Gurbaz, Will Jacks Wallop DSG With 154-Run Stand

Chasing 210 runs for a win, Pretoria Capitals openers Will Jacks and Rahmanullah Gurbaz mopped up 154 runs on their own from 12 overs during their colossal opening stand at the top of the order. The two cricketers extracted 81 runs from the six powerplay overs, and reached team 100 by just the end of the eighth over of the innings.

Gurbaz led the belligerent assault on Durban’s Super Giants bowlers with an 89-run blitzkrieg from just 43 balls. In an innings glittered with three boundaries and seven soaring sixes, Gurbaz’s hour of mayhem was halted by fellow Afghanistan international Noor Ahmed in the 13th over. Will Jacks also made his presence felt by pounding 64 runs off 35 balls with five scorching sixes and three additional boundaries.

Super Giants vs Capitals Highlights: Woakes, Ahmad And Others Trigger Huge Capitals Collapse

At the time of Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s dismissal, the Pretoria Capitals required just 56 more runs from the remaining eight overs. However, Capitals’ high-scoring pursuit turned upside down with a sequence of six quick wickets in the space of six overs to slip from 154-0 to 195-6.

Noor Ahmad (2-34), who had Gurbaz holed out by Heinrich Klaasen in the deep, also knocked over Will Jacks; before Chris Woakes (2-42) cleaned up Rilee Rossouw and Senuran Muthusamy in his return spell.

Keshav Maharaj accounted for the wicket of dangerman Liam Livingstone in the penultimate over as the Durban’s Super Giants escaped with a two-run victory after a thrilling final over showdown.
