SEC vs DSG

We were promised a thriller, and a thriller is what we got! The Sunrisers still stay on top of the points table but the chasing pack is getting ever so close. As for the Super Giants, they live to fight another day in this edition of the SA20. That's all Mother Cricket had in store for us today! Until next time, this is Dwijesh Reddy signing off. 

Tristan Stubbs (Player of the Match): "This is more bitter than sweet, things didn't go our way. I think we have lost two games, both have gone to the last over - that's the positives we can take."

Aiden Markram (DSG Captain): "Beggars can't be choosers, and it is nice to get some points. It got quite close though. The wicket can be challenging here and we are very blessed to have two very good spinners. The last few overs cost us a bit but credit must be given to Stubbs. We got off to a great start and the boys built a couple of good partnerships in the middle too. They have a good bowling attack and at some stage, we need to take a risk early on. Match was 50-50 throughout and in positions like this, we expected it to be hard work. Glad to have won in the end."

Tristan Stubbs (SEC captain): "The whole second innings ebbed and flowed but credit to them, they got away in the powerplay. The powerplay is pretty challenging but it was one of those St George's days really. (On Lewis Gregory not bowling another over) Hindsight's a lovely thing but we were backing our bowlers. We knew that we were always in the game. We couldn't get over the line, unfortunately. The last few matches have been really closed, we have not done well at home this season so we owe the fans a good performance"

Durban Super Giants win by two wickets and three balls to spare!

Marques Ackerman - 45(26) | Sunil Narine - 1/24
Tristan Stubbs - 47(30) | Senuran Muthusamy - 2/20

What a match we have witnessed at St George's Park! The Super Giants have finally got a win in this competition, and they had to work hard for it. It didn't seem that way initially when Marques Ackerman took to Adam Milne, en route to a 26-ball 46. He had some support from captain Aiden Markram and Jos Buttler, who had brief cameos out in the middle.

At one stage, the Super Giants were cruising to a bonus point as well. But the Sunrisers had other plans as their spin twins Tharindu Ratnayake and Muthusamy shared three wickets between them. Marco Jansen and Anrich Nortje also did their bit while Adam Milne proved to be quite expensive in his three-over spell.

The final few overs were as nervy as they get in cricket, but Evan Jones held his nerve and withstood the Sunrisers bowling attack to take the Super Giants home to a much-needed win!

Stay tuned as we bring you all the post-match presentation updates in a bit

19.3 Anrich Nortje to Evan Jones, DSG WIN AN ABSOLUTE THRILLER! FOUR! A length ball bowled outside off, Jones crashes this one through the covers for the winning runs!

19.2 Anrich Nortje to Evan Jones, LBW SHOUT! A good length ball bowled on off-stump, Jones is beaten for pace as the ball hits the pads and dribbles away to square leg. Jones steals a double despite having to run all around the bowler. But the LBW decision is sent upstairs. However, it does look like it hit Jones outside off. The umpire's decision stands! Scores are now tied!

19.1 Anrich Nortje to Kwena Maphaka, a length ball bowled on the pads, Maphaka misses the flick and wears it on the pads. However, he does come through for a leg-bye

Now, now! The equation is pretty simple here for either team. The Super Giants need four runs, the Sunrisers need two wickets! Who will come out with the W?

18.5 Adam Milne to Gerald Coetzee, BOWLED! Is there life in this game? It is a pacy, back of a length delivery bowled on middle and off, Coetzee is beaten on a pull shot and ends up playing all around it and making a mess of his stumps!

18.4 Adam Milne to Gerald Coetzee, SIX! That might be Game, Set and Match! A full ball bowled on middle and off, Coetzee gets hold of a slog over Marco Jansen at long-on for a much-needed six!

18.3 Adam Milne to Evan Jones, a length ball bowled outside off again, Jones picks the slower ball and pulls it to cow-corner for only a single

18.2 Adam Milne to Evan Jones, WAS THAT DROPPED? A length ball bowled outside off, Jones is beaten for lack of pace as he gets a faint inside edge. However, it doesn't not carry but the looks of it
