DSG AND MI CAPE TOWN SHARE THE SPOILS AFTER WASHOUT AT KINGSMEAD

The much-anticipated Betway SA20 clash between Durban Super Giants and MI Cape Town was abandoned at Kingsmead on Sunday. 

The heavens opened after Durban’s Super Giants, who were inserted after MI Cape Town won the toss and elected to bowl, raced to 37 without loss after four overs. 

The all-Kiwi opening pair of Devon Conway and Kane Williamson continued from where they left off on Friday at Newlands. 

Conway (24 not out off 13 balls) was particularly harsh on his New Zealand compatriot Trent Boult with the left-hander carving out two consecutive sixes in the first over. 

Williamson (12 not out 11 balls) took over the mantle the next over when he cut League debutant Karim Janat, who came into the MI Cape Town side for Tristan Luus, for consecutive boundaries. 

Super Giants’ momentum was stalled though when the rain came down, which grew heavier as the afternoon progressed causing the umpires to call off the contest at 6pm.

Both teams were awarded two points each with DSG moving into top spot on the table with six points after their victory in the competition opener at Newlands last Friday.

Defending champions MI Cape Town move up into fourth place.
