A sensational batting display by Faf du Plessis helped the Joburg Super Kings register a comfortable 24-run victory over Sunrisers Eastern Cape on Sunday to book their spot in their Betway SA20 semifinals.
Faf du Plessis of the Joburg Super Kings hits over the top for six during the Betway SA20 match against Sunrisers Eastern Cape at the Wanderers on February 5 2023.
In front of a rousing Wanderers crowd, Du Plessis struck seven fours and four sixes on his way to 92, sharing 119 runs for the first wicket with Reeza Hendricks to help their side to a competitive 160-6 in their allotted overs. Chasing 161 for victory, the men in orange found batting tough on a tricky pitch, with Temba Bavuma chalking up his first half-century of the tournament with the Eastern Cape side ending on 136-9 in 20 overs.
Proteas teammates Bavuma and Aiden Markram took their team to 67-3 at the halfway stage, Bavuma striking five boundaries and two sixes on his way to 50 off 34 balls before he was undone by a low ball that crashed into his stumps off Kyle Simmonds. Simmonds struck again when he bowled Tristan Stubbs before trapping Marco Jansen leg-before wicket in his final over to leave the Orange Army reeling on 98-6.
