Heinrich Klaasen blasted Durban's Super Giants into their first-ever SA20 final as the Super Giants comfortably beat Joburg Super Kings by 69 runs in Qualifier 2 at the Wanderers. Klaasen smashed 74 off just 30 balls (3x4, 7x6) to power DSG to 211/6. The Proteas superstar was well supported by Wiaan Mulder, who struck an equally rapid unbeaten 50 off just 23 balls (3x3, 3x6). DSG debutant, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, also made a solid contribution in his first outing in the competition with 35 off 23 balls. Naveen-Ul-Haq Takes an Absolute Screamer To Dismiss Leus du Plooy During Durban’s Super Giants vs Joburg Super Kings SA20 2024 Qualifier 2 Match (Watch Video).
The Super Kings had done well to reduce DSG to 94/4 after 12.1 overs with left-arm seamer Nandre Burger (2/27) delivering a fiery spell upfront. But that's when Klaasen and Mulder began their work as they added a mammoth 101 runs in just 38 balls for the fifth wicket to take the game away from the Super Kings.
The JSK run chase was always going to be dependent on their captain Faf du Plessis, but once he departed early after being caught by Quinton de Kock, who took a good catch running back to the boundary, the home team's mountain became so much steeper. It was a valiant effort after they had won their Eliminator just 24 hours earlier to give themselves the opportunity to qualify for the final.
Moeen Ali (30), Reeza Hendricks (27) and Donovan Ferreira (24) all struck cameos for the Super Kings, but nobody could match Klaasen's sheer brute force of earlier in the day. Klaasen is now second on the Betway SA20 leading run-scorers list with 447 runs and needs 84 runs in Saturday's final to overtake MI Cape Town's Ryan Rickelton at the top of the leaderboard.
