“It’s nice,” Faf du Plessis remarked about being the first player to score a century in the Betway SA20.
Chasing 179 to beat the Durban Super Giants, Du Plessis blasted an unbeaten 113 that featured eight fours and eight sixes, along with a new record opening partnership for the Wanderers of 157 with Reeza Hendricks.
Never mind, Du Plessis was imperious. “It was a really nice wicket, a bit sticky in the beginning with the spinners. And then typical Wanderers, once you get yourself in you can score freely,” he said. “That was one of the best knocks I’ve seen in T20 cricket,” said Super Kings assistant coach Albie Morkel of Du Plessis’s performance.
One of those bowlers, English international Topley, said it was a case of Du Plessis displaying all of his nous and experience. “He stuck in there; it wasn’t the fastest start, but that’s where his experience showed. He cashed in when he could.”
