SA20 match 5 review

Durban Super Giants beat MI Cape Town in match 5 of the SA20 by 5 wickets to get their campaign back on track. The Super Giants were excellent with the ball in hand and restricted MI Cape Town to 158 in their 20overs and then chased it down comfortably for a convincing victory.

The MI Cape Town team will be disappointed with their performance with the bat in hand and will be hoping to improve when they take on Super Kings today. They will be happy with their performance with the ball as they put up a good fight in defending 158 but it was not enough as they were short 20 to 25 runs of a good score.

The star of the match was Kyle Mayers for the Durban Super Giants as he scored 34 of 23 to give the Super Giants a good start to their chase and took 2-10 in 2 overs with the ball in hand.

This was a good match and there was some entertainment in the match as at one stage it looked like Grant Roloefsan and Goerge Linde would take the match away from the Super Giants similar to what happened in the Super Giants' previous match when Ferreira and Sheperd turned the match in favour of the super King. The Giant's bowlers managed to keep their calm and didn't allow the match to slip too far from their grip as they restricted MI Cape Town to a chasable target. '

Well done to Super Giants on their 1st victory of the SA20.

SA20 review

The SA20 season 2 has ended with Sunrisers Eastern Cape successfully defending their title to win back-to-back titles. The Sunrisers were the team to beat as they played an excellent brand of cricket and dominated throughout the tournament winning 7 matches and losing 2 with 1 no result to top the table in the league stage. The final of SA20 season 2 was played by the 2 best teams of the tournament the Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Durban Super Giants. Sunrisers proved too good for Super Giants beating them by 89 runs to not only successfully defend their SA20 title but also win the head-to-head between the 2 teams 3-1. SA20 season 2 saw some unbelievable performances with quite a few young South African players taking the opportunity and shining.
