Faf du Plessis took confidence from the match, despite suffering the defeat: "We played a good game. Cloudy conditions made it tough to catch. Wet conditions made fielding difficult as well as death bowling, but otherwise our boys have been doing well."

MI Cape Town skipper Rashid Khan was delighted about his side picking up their first win of the season against the Super Giants: "After the first bowling powerplay, the way we came back was a brilliant effort. Chasing that was something amazing. Pooran is famous for those shots and that's what we are expecting from him. The blasting innings in the middle is needed for that 250-300 strike-rate. It was a long wait for a win after last year's final – this will give us so much energy."

Joburg Super Kings (possible XI): Faf du Plessis (c), Matthew de Villiers, James Vince, Donovan Ferreira, Akeal Hosein, Shubham Ranjane, Wiaan Mulder, Nandre Burger, Richard Gleeson, Janco Smit, Dian Forrester.
