A flawless one-handed catch off a six by a spectator who is at least eighteen years old earns them a share of one million rand, according the competition’s rules. However, the prize money doubles, as it did for this fortunate person, if the participant is a sponsor’s client.
After winning the toss, DSG chose to bat first on the pitch and amassed a solid total of 209/4, which was aided by Wiaan Mulder’s unbeaten quick-fire knock of 45 runs and Kane Williamson’s undefeated 60. Following a strong start by Bryce Parsons (47 off 28) and Matthew Breetzke (33 off 20), the pair carried on the assault.
In response, PC opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz formed a fantastic partnership with Will Jacks (64 off 35) and smashed 89 runs off 43 deliveries. They made the game appear lopsided by adding 154 runs for the first wicket. Nevertheless, following a strong start, the Capitals’ batting collapsed as they lost six wickets for just 41 runs, ultimately losing at 207/6. Because to the outstanding bowling performances of Chris Woakes and Noor Ahmad, the team managed to pull off an incredible comeback and win by a slim margin of two runs.
