Breetzke’s fifty and Junior Dala’s five-fer secures Giant's seventh win

Durban Super Giants won the toss and opted to bat first. A powerful 73-run knock from Matthew Breetzke and Quinton de Kock’s 16 off 7 balls provided a solid start.

Heinrich Klaasen, at No. 4, smashed a quick-fire 18-ball 30-run innings after Giants lost their early wickets inside seven overs. However, JJ Smuts (21*) along with Naveen-ul-Haq’s swift cameo of 10*(3), propelled the Giants to set a challenging target of 174 runs.

Both Senuran Muthusamy and Daryn Dupavillon took a three-wicket haul for the Capitals. Will Jacks, Adil Rashid, and Wayne Parnell picked up a wicket apiece.

In reply, after the Capitals lost a couple of wickets in the powerplay, Will Jacks stood strong on the other end, scoring a crucial 41-run knock. However, no batter scored above 19 runs. Junior Dala, the medium pacer for the Giants, wreaked havoc in his four-over spell, dismantling half of the Capitals' batting order.

Senuran Muthusamy and Daryn Dupavillon both took three wickets each for the Giants. Wiaan Mulder, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Noor Ahmed also chipped in with a wicket each. While Captain Keshav Maharaj and Keemo Paul remained wicketless, the Capitals fell eight runs short of the target.

Breetzke's impactful half-century earned him the well-deserved Player of the Match award.
