Sa20 Super Over ResultImage Credit source: SA20

These days, just before the T20 World Cup 2026, SA20 League action is going on in South Africa. Like previous years, exciting matches are being seen in the fourth season of the league. But what did not happen in this league in the last 3 seasons, finally happened this time. The 9th match of the league played between Joburg Super Kings and Durban Super Giants ended in a tie and thus for the first time in the history of SA20, a match was decided in a super over, where Joburg won.

This historic match was seen in Johannesburg on Thursday, January 1, i.e. the first day of the year. Home team Joburg batted first in this match and scored a good score of 205 runs after losing 4 wickets. For that, captain Faf Du Plessis scored 47 runs while Shubham Ranjane played an inning of 50 runs. But Donovan Ferreira did the most effective batting. This wicketkeeper-batsman scored 33 runs in just 10 balls and took the team to this score.

The top order of Durban Super Giants could not contribute much in this run chase but Heinrich Klaasen and Avon Jones in the middle order saved the team. In particular, Jones scored 43 runs in just 17 balls, while Clausen contributed 29 runs in 19 balls. During this period, fast bowler Richard Gleeson took maximum 3 wickets. Durban needed 15 runs in the last over but the team could score only 14 runs and thus the score was tied, due to which the decision had to be taken through a super over.

For the first time in the history of SA20, a Super Over was taking place and here the power of the bowler, who was not quoted by any team in the IPL auction just a few weeks ago, was shown. This bowler is England's pacer Richard Gleeson, who had already taken 3 wickets in the first match but had also given away 41 runs. Despite this, Joburg captain Duplessis expressed confidence in Gleeson and it proved to be right. Gleeson gave only 5 runs and took 1 wicket in the super over. Joburg got the target of only 6 runs, which Ferreira achieved by hitting 2 fours in 3 balls.
