Durban Super Giants registered an emphatic win against the table-toppers Pretoria Capitals in the 28th match of the ongoing SA20 league. Powered by a magnificent unbeaten century from Heinrich Klaasen and a quickfire opening stand by Quinton de Kock and Ben McDermott helped Super Giants to win the match by a big margin of 151 runs.

Durban Super Giants scored a mammoth 254 for 4 in their 20 overs. De Kock (43 off 20) and McDermott (41 off 24) put up a partnership of 76 runs for the first wicket in the powerplay. Thereafter, it was the Klaasen show all through as he remained unbeaten on 104* off 44 balls scoring 10 fours and six sixes.

Accompanied by Matthew Breetzke, who scored a blistering unbeaten 46 runs off 21 balls with five fours and three sixes, piloted the Super Giants to go past 250. For the Capitals, Migael Pretorius turned out to be the most successful and yet the most expensive bowler, having conceded 62 runs in his four overs and took 2 wickets. Meanwhile, Neesham and Josh Little shared a wicket each.

Chasing the total, Pretoria started losing from the very second over of the innings. DSG bowlers kept sending the PC batters back to pavilion at regular intervals. The table topper got bowled out for just 103 runs in 13.5 overs. Junior Dala took 3 wickets in his four overs conceding 33 runs. Dwaine Pretorius and Wiaan Mulder took 2 wickets, while Keemo Paul and Reece Topley shared a wicket each.

Pretoria capitals story in #SA20 could be like Delhi daredevils 2009 in ipl. They dominated the entire 2009 season and lost one sided in the semis. That’s why playoffs makes the competition much more justified.

Hundred for Henrich Klaasen from just 43 balls in a match when Durban needs to win with a bonus point. One of the best knocks ever in SA20.

@CricCrazyJohns That Breetzke guy had one shot. Crouch low, extend his arms. Literally One shot for every ball. Yet he scored like 35 runs in his last 10 balls. Says a lot about quality of bowling.
