Imran Tahir's stunning dive sent Wiaan Mulder back to the crease
This happened in the 7th over of the Super Giants innings. The home side were 2 wickets down with 51 runs on the board and they desperately needed a partnership to get through the chase. Quinton De Kock he showed some impressive displays with the bat but needed help from the other end to continue his team's run. However, on the third given visit, Wian Mulder he tried to sweep back by trying to drive others off the board and avoid spending money. The ball landed where Tahir was stopped. The 45-year-old dived to his right and held the ball firmly.
The celebration from Tahir was also interesting. He continued his all-round celebration and took it upon himself to celebrate his catch with the fall of another wicket.

A good bowling performance from the Super Kings stopped the Super Giants
Super Kings started strongly and batted after winning the toss and elected to bat first. A good match between the openers Devon Conway and Leus The Stealer put it in a comfortable place. However, the constant fall of wickets plagued the visitors. The Super Giants bowling unit managed to stop the incoming runs 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 could not establish a good connection. The entire batting line-up of Super Giants failed to concede a goal except De Kock and Heinrich's studies 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 a testy combination of bowling from the Super Kings. When Gerald Coetzee, Tabraiz Shamsiand Donovan Ferreira took 2 wickets each, David WeiseTahir is Matheesa Pathirana had 1 wicket to their name.
