Super Kings captain Faf du Plessis struck gold with his decision to open the bowling with Subrayen. He also struck in his very first over to remove the in-form Devon Conway before dismissing Kane Williamson and Jose Buttler in the powerplay to leave DSG in complete disarray at 21/3.Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel.

Ferreira was immediately given the ball and fired over on the stroke of half-time as Heinrich Klaasen latched onto a short mid-range save to add to the home side’s woes.

From there, the Super Giants never recovered. Captain Aiden Markram fought a lone battle with 22 off 27 balls but found little support as wickets kept falling at the other end. Seamer Richard Gleeson finished at the tail end with remarkable figures of 3 for 2 and DSG fired for 86.The Kingsmead crowd briefly found their voice when JSK lost both openers – Du Plessis and De Villiers – with just 19 runs on the board, and conviction grew further when Wiaan Mulder’s dismissal left the visitors reeling at 24/3.However, Rossouw extinguished any hopes of a miraculous comeback. The left-hander enjoyed a slice of fortune, being dropped twice – on eight by Kane Williamson and on 16 by Evan Jones – but the Super Giants paid dearly. Rossouw hit five fours and six for a smooth 43, calmly leading JSK to the brink of victory.
