Joburg Super Kings Form
The Super Kings kept their 100% start to the season with a Super Over win against two-time winners the Sunrisers.
Matthew de Villiers (38) and Faf du Plessis (47) found form together at the right time to set the Super Kings up for a third straight win. Donovan Ferreira has found his big-hitting form, smashing four sixes in a 10-ball 33* against the Super Giants, while Shubham Ranjane impressed with 50* off 31 balls.
Richard Gleeson has been the Kings’ star with the ball, taking 2/33, 3/2 and 3/41 in his side’s three wins. Akeal Hosein has been economical, taking 1/19, 1/27 and 2/31 in his three matches.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape Form
The Sunrisers started the season with two big wins, only to let the Royals off the hook to lose in the last over a match they looked to have wrapped up.
Jordan Hermann and Quinton de Kock have been rich with runs, and Matthew Breetzke has also put his ability on display this season with scores of 52 and 31. Jonny Bairstow is finding form with scores of 31 and 33. Tristan Stubbs’ top score is 17 and he will be keen to put a big score on the board.
Anrich Nortje has been terrorising batters with his pace, taking 4/13 to destroy the Royals in their opener and 2/21 in the home defeat to the same side. Adam Milne’s 2/7 and 4/25 were key to the wins over the Royals and the Capitals. Marco Jansen has been incredibly tight with the ball and is 4th on the economy rate list (6.11).

Super Kings star bowler Richard Gleeson bowled a tight Super Over that put his side on track to snatch the win. “Games like this are probably more important for the campaign. You don’t want easy wins in each game. They are great but it’s moments like these where you’re under pressure, where you have to fall back on your skills, and it gives you great confidence,” said Gleeson.
