JSK vs DSG

And breathe! What a game we have witnessed tonight. Something that we will never forget nor will any of the thousands that saw it live at the Wanderers. With that win, JSK move to the top of the table making it three wins out of three for them. On the other hand, it is now two losses on the trot for DSG who have been done the double by JSK in a space of two days. They stay number 3 on the table but they have played the most number of games out of any team and tomorrow they could slip below as the action moves to Paarl with the Paarl Royals set to face MI Cape Town. We will be back to bring you all the action as always. For now, it is time for us to give our fingers some rest and take your leave. This is Sourabh Agrawal signing off on behalf of Darpan Tikiya and the entire team. Good night!

Donovan Ferreira is the Player Of The Match for his 33* off 10 with the bat and 1/24 in 4 overs with the ball, here are his words: "That was a good win for us. Got a bit close than we would have liked but luckily we could put it over the line. That was fun (on his batting). Bit frustrating to sit on the sidelines for a while but I was glad I could contribute. (on his bowling plus wicketkeeping duties) That was something we spoke about in game one, seems like it would happen more often now. Glad that I could contribute in all three facets, hope to continue the form. This crowd has been really good for the last three years and this season they are topping it. Gives us a lot of energy and they give us a reason to play. We will keep doing that for the crowd and they will keep roaring for us."

Faf du Plessis (JSK captain): "There are a few extra grey hair there. As a neutral, or as a fan coming in, that;s the stuff you want to see. There so many things. It ebbed and flowed. There were so many things. There was madness and there was greatness.

(On the total score) Looking at the wicket and the way the spinners bowled, I thought it was slightly above par. But the dew pulled things back for the finger spinners, otherwise there would have been more spin off the pitch. 

(Run out of the last ball to take it into a super over) When you win a super over, you think you have the rub of the green. I have this memory of MS Dhoni running a batter out against Bangladesh. So, I wanted Ferriera to do the same. But he went for the direct hit and got it. 

(On Gleeson) To bowl that amount of yorkers takes a lot of heart and character. Against those two batters, Buttler and Jones, that was an excellent job. Tonight is nice to squeeze over the line."

Aiden Markram (DSG captain): "Mixed emotions. Great game of cricket. Very small margins. We will reflect and analyse where did we lose it. But a great game to be a part of. 

(His emotions) The last 45 minutes or so it has been over the top, but it will settle down. It was a game of small margins. 

(On the umpiring) Can be tricky. Batters are moving all over the place with short boundaries. We don't expect 100% accuracy, but as long as the decisions are consistent for both teams, it is okay. Great to be a part of the (game that went into a) super over. Hopefully we get a couple more. The crowd got its money's worth. There is always more to it than just the result."

Joburg Super Kings win the first ever Super Over in SA20 history

Joburg Super Kings (205/4 in 20 overs) tied with Durban Super Kings (205/8 in 20 overs) before JSK (8/0 in 0.3 overs) beat DSG (5/1 in 1 overs) in the Super Over

Shubham Ranjane 50*(31) | Richard Gleeson 3/41(3)
Evan Jones 43(17) | Noor Ahmad 3/12(4)

Absolute crazy scenes at the Bullring, the Wanderes has witnessed one of the best T20 games that has ever been played, anywhere in the world, let alone SA20.

How do we even sum this up? How do we recollect our thoughts will all the madness that has transpired in the last half an hour or so?

Does anyone even remember the time when Shubham Ranjane scored his first-ever SA20 fifty in the first innings? Does anyone rememeber the time when Donvan Ferreira absolutely bulldozed his way to a 10-ball 33 with some brutal hitting at the death powering JSG to 205? Feels like that was ages ago

We thought we had seen something but boy no one could have prepared you for what was about to come. Chasing 206, DSG got off to a poor start and found themselves struggling at 61/3 in 7.4 overs with their top 3 (Conway, Williamson and Buttler) all gone for not a lot and more importantly leaving their side with a hell of a lot of work to do to get close in the chase.

JSK were spot on with their plans, they had seen what had transpired in the first innings where spin did the job and pace travelled all around the corner. As many as 10 overs out of the first 13 overs in the run chase were bowled by spinners and the troika of Hossein (2/31 in 4 overs), Ferreira (1/24 in 4 overs) and Subrayen combinedly registerd figures of 3/76 in those 10 overs.

Klassen tried and connected with some of his trademark shots but JSK's hero with the bat Ferreira got the better of him and it looked like DSG were down and out at 111/4 after 13 overs needing a further 95 off 42.

The skipper Markram was out there for DSG and he found an able and a powerful ally in Evan Jones who came out with just one thing in his mind which was to thrash the ball to pieces. He absolutely belted it around and along with his skipper put on a staggering 60 off 23 which helped them to bring it down to just 40 needed off the final 4 overs.

Once more, one might have thought that the result was becoming clear but then Gleeson and Mulder put on a masterclass at the death, chipping away wickets and at the same time restricting the batters. In the end, we went to the first ever Super Over in the tournament's history which was brought about by that man Ferreira throwing down the stumps from behind the wickets with 1 needed off the final ball.

Gleeson yet again put on a show in the Super Over and just conceded 5 off the six balls he bowled as Buttler and Jones were not able to get his yorkers and pace off deliveries away. Needing 6 to win in the Super Over, Rossouw finished it off in three balls as he smashed back-to-back boundaries off Noor Ahmad to send the thousands here at the Wanderers bonkers

0.3 Noor Ahmad to Rilee Rossouw, CARRESSED FOR FOUR! Joburg Super Kings have won the first ever Super Over in SA20 history. Wanderers erupts. What a crazy game have we witnessed tonight. Savour this, folks. It would be talked about for years to come. Shorter side of good length, outside off. Rossouw stood firm and stable, before unfurling that solid backfoot jab, into the gap at extra cover and then punched the air in delight. 

0.1 Noor Ahmad to Rilee Rossouw, fired in at the pads, from over the wicket. Rossouw went down on a knee to deploy the hard sweep, failed to connect, but the ball hit his pad and raced past short fine leg and to the boundary. DSG review for LBW! Seemed leg side-ish but at this stage, why not! Turns out, Rossouw got an inside edge — UltraEdge confirms. Four runs to his name.

Rilee Rossouw and Donovan Ferreira have walked out to bat for JSK. Rossouw on strike, Noor Ahmad with the ball. Let's go for one final time in the night

Looks like Noor Ahmad will bowl the Super Over for DSG. He is going through some warmups now. Who will come out to bat for JSK? Surely common sense has to prevail whoever comes out, right? Won't bet against it though with how crazy the night has been. Mark Nicholas is down on the ground and he says that there is considerable dew on the outfield now

0.6 Richard Gleeson to Evan Jones, RUN OUT? It matters if they have completed the second run or not. No, they have not. Jones is  un out for the second time in the evening. They finish with 5 runs. How good was Gleeson? Very full, outside off. Jones shuffled to the off side and squeezed it towards long-on before he came rushing back, only for Ferriera to collect the slightly wayward throw cleanly and take the bails off.
