Gleeson stars as Super Kings beat Super Giants in super over

1 week ago 2

England's Richard Gleeson bowled a brilliant super over as Joburg Super Kings beat Durban's Super Giants in the SA20.

Gleeson conceded just six - four off the bat - and picked up the wicket of Evan Jones.

With seven required, Rilee Rossouw then Noor Ahmad's first and third ball for four to seal the win.

Gleeson had earlier taken 3-41, including David Weise in the 19th over, as Super Giants could only match Super Kings' 205.

They were struggling at 108-4 in the 13th over but Jones and Aiden Markram shared 60 in 24 balls to give them hope.

They needed 19 from 12 balls but Gleeson's superb penultimate over, which also included the run out of Jones, left 15 needed from the final over.

Wiaan Mulder bowled it and was hit for six off the second ball, before two successive wides when trying to bowl the fifth delivery of the over.

When Mulder did bowl a legitimate ball, Simon Harmer smashed it down the ground for four to leave the scores level.

Harmer missed the final ball and attempted to run a bye but Eathan Bosch was run out by Donovan Ferreira.

Shubham Ranjane top-scored in Super Kings' 205-8 with 50.

The win extends Super Kings' winning start and they sit second, while Super Giants are third.
