Faf du Plessis outshone Kieron Pollard in a captivating duel of captains, reigniting Joburg Super Kings’ Betway SA20 campaign at a rain-soaked Newlands on Monday evening.

Du Plessis blazed an unbeaten 50 off just 20 deliveries to steer JSK to a commanding 10-wicket victory in a match shortened to eight overs per side due to inclement weather.

Du Plessis and Du Plooy set the tone early, with Du Plooy launching the run chase dramatically with a six over fine leg off Nuwan Thushara’s first delivery.

Despite light drizzle, the pair dominated, leaving MI Cape Town bowlers struggling to find their rhythm.
