SA20 Match 2 review: The Don Ferreira Show

Image
By


 Joburg Super Kings have got off to a winning start in the SA20 as they beat Durban Super Giants by 16 runs in match 2 of the league. 

The Super Kings won the toss and chose to bat 1st and were in early trouble as they slipped to 27-4 in 6 overs. They were then rescued by Donovan Ferreira and Faf du Plessis who put together a partnership of 72 of 48 at a Strike rate of 150 and then a 2nd partnership of 87 from 35 between Donovan Ferriera and Romario Sheperd at a strike rate of 248.5. These 2 partnerships changed the game totally as Super Kings posted a defendable score of 190. 


Donovan Ferreira was the star of the match with both bat and ball as first he helped rescue the Super Kings after a disastrous start, he was a key contributor to both the partnerships that took Super Kings to a winning total as he scored 82 of 40 at a strike rate of 205 which included 8 4s and 5 6s during his innings. He did get off to a shaky start as he edged a few that went over the slips and keeper but once he got himself in, he was unstoppable as he took apart the Super Giants bowlers with some good shots and unbelievable power hitting. He was not done as with the ball in hand he bowled 4 overs of off-spin finishing with 1-28 as he capped off a brilliant performance on the night. Donovan Ferriera is going to be one player to keep an eye out for throughout this tournament. 

The Super Giants spinners were great on the night as they did most of the early damage in the powerplay, but the seamers were unable to contain Donovan and Romario as the Super Kings made an excellent comeback into the match. The spinners as well weren't as good in their 2nd spells as the batsman charged them and took them to the cleaners damaging their bowling figures which looked good early on. The only bowler who got away with no damage was Keshav Maharaj who finished with figures of 1-23 in his 4 overs. 

The Super Giants' openers got them off to a great start and at one stage it looked like they would get over the line comfortably, but the Super Kings bowlers managed to pull things back as they picked up regular wickets in the middle period to slow things down and their spinners, in particular, made it tough for the newer batsman coming in. The Super Giants middle order struggled to get going and, in the end, the Super King's spinners and Alzarri Joseph were able to restrict the Super Giants' batsman as the other bowlers around them were struggling to contain the batsman. 

Well done to the Joburg Super Kings on their 16-run win
