The second match of this SA20 season on Friday ended in a pulsating last-ball finish, which saw Durban’s Super Giants (DSG) holding nerve to beat Pretoria Capitals (PC) by just two runs at Kingsmead. But before that, there was a moment in the stands that stole the thunder.
In the 17th over of DSG’s innings bowled by Eathan Bosch, Kane Williamson got down on one knee to smash the ball into the stands behind deep mid-wicket for a six, but it was the one-handed catch by a fan that became a bigger hit than Williamson’s maximum, as it fetched him 2 million South African Rand (INR 9 lakh approximately).

Such was the quality of the catch that commentator Mark Nicholas exclaimed: “Has he played the game? Triple it (the winning amount) if he has played the game…That is proper!”
Coming to the match, PC opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s blistering 89 off 43 balls, including 7 sixes, and his 154-run opening stand with Will Jacks (64 off 35) laid the foundation required to go past DSG’s 209 for 4, but the remaining PC batters couldn’t score a mere 56 needed off the last 47 balls with nine wickets in hand.

Requiring 14 off the last over to win, PC could score just 11 to finish at 207 for 6, losing by a mere two runs.
Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmad (2 for 34) and England pacer Chris Woakes (2 for 42) brought DSG back in the match after Gurbaz and Jacks’s big opening stand had set up the big run-chase.
