The SA20 encounter between Durban Super Giants and Pretoria Capitals may have been a low-scoring encounter, but it certainly was not devoid of thrills and an enthralling encounter. One such exciting match took place between Durban Super Giants captain Quinton de Kock and Pretoria Capitals fast bowler Anrich Nortje. The South African teammates came face to face for the first time in the game during the fourth over of the innings. De Kock got off to a great start after hitting a six off the second ball. However, Nortje had the last laugh after he managed to send de Kock back to the dressing room on the final ball of the over.
Anrich Nortje sends Quinton de Kock’s off stump flying with a superb delivery. The South African wicketkeeper-batsman had swung his bat in an attempt to clear the ropes on the leg side. But de Kock missed the ball completely and paid the price for his risk, becoming his third victim of the night. With the loss of de Kock’s wicket, the Durban side were reeling at 20/3 at the end of the fourth over.

The chase was a walk in the park for the Pretoria Capitals despite Phil Salt getting out for a duck on the very first ball of the innings. Will Jacks tore through the Durban Super Giants bowling line-up with a blistering fifty at a strike rate of 224. Theunis de Bruyn helped him in an unbeaten inning of 21 runs. The Pretoria-based side went on to win the game by eight wickets.
