Durban’s Super Giants have kept their SA20 2025-26 playoffs hopes alive with a narrow two-wicket win over table-toppers Sunrisers Eastern Cape in Gqeberha on Sunday. Set a target of 159 after a late burst from SEC, DSG were off to a flier before losing the plot in the middle. The tail, however, managed to hold their nerve to script a thrilling win – first for them since their season opener – and keep their campaign afloat with two more games to go. A late flourish helped SEC recover after losing wickets at regular intervals for the better part of their innings. After opting to bat first, both Quinton de Kock and Jonny Bairstow fell cheaply inside four overs, trying to take on the new-ball attack. At 26/2, Matthew Breetzke (20 off 22) and Jordan Hermann (29 off 24) got together to steady the ship with a brief 38-run stand that came in 6.5 overs.
