Imran Tahir’s superb dive brought Wiaan Mulder back into the pavilion
The incident happened during the 7th over of Super Giants’ innings. The home side were 2 wickets down with 51 runs on the board and were in desperate need of a partnership to get the runs across. Quinton De Kock he was showing promising signs with the bat but needed support from the other side to keep running for his team. However, on the third overdraft delivery, Wiaan Mulder tried to reverse the momentum in a bid to get some runs on the board and avoid an economical over. The ball sailed towards where Tahir was deployed. The 45-year-old jumped to his right and firmly caught the ball.
The celebration of Tahir was equally sensational. He went on a celebratory drive all fired up and pulled off a breathtaking move of his own to celebrate his catch and another wicket fall.

Disciplined bowling by the Super Kings restricted the Super Giants
Super Kings got off to a solid start with the bat after winning the toss and opting to bat first. A decent partnership between the openers Devon Conway and Leus du Plooy place them in a comfortable position. However, the continuous falling of goalposts bothered the guests. The Super Giants bowling unit managed to restrict the incoming run flow but could not stop the Super Kings from reaching a respectable total of 169 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 20 overs.
In response, the home side failed to put together a decent partnership. The entire Super Giants batting line-up failed to make a mark except for De Kock and Heinrich Klassen who scored 55 and 29 runs respectively. In the end, Super Giants were bowled out for 141 with 12 balls remaining and JSK won the match by 28 runs.
It was the bowling combination of the Super Kings. While Gerald Coetzee, Tabraiz Shamsiand Donovan Ferreira took 2 doors each, David WeiseTahir i Mathees Pathiran had 1 wicket to their name.
