The Joburg Super Kings roared back to form with a dominant nine-wicket victory over the defending SA20 champions, Sunrisers Eastern Cape , at the Bullring on Sunday. Devon Conway spearheaded the Super Kings' charge, smashing an unbeaten half-century and guiding his team to a comfortable chase of 119 runs in just 14 overs.
Conway's masterful innings, studded with 11 fours and three sixes, was his first of the season and proved instrumental in reversing the Super Kings' fortunes after a string of three consecutive defeats.Lutho Sipamla and Hardus Viljoen delivered a devastating performance with the new ball, dismantling the Sunrisers' batting lineup and setting the stage for the Super Kings' triumph. Sipamla, in a display of electric pace and precision, claimed a double-wicket maiden in his opening over, dismissing both Zak Crawley and Tom Abell for ducks. He continued his relentless assault, finishing with impressive figures of 3/13 at the end of the first powerplay. Viljoen, at the other end, matched Sipamla's intensity, relentlessly probing the Sunrisers' batsmen with his tight line and length. Together, they reduced the visitors to 4 wickets down for a paltry 34 runs.David Bedingham and Tristan Stubbs attempted to rally the Sunrisers with a 57-run partnership, but Viljoen struck again, dismissing Bedingham for a well-played 48. Despite Stubbs's spirited 37 and Marco Jansen's valuable 22, the Super Kings' bowling attack, spearheaded by Viljoen (4/24) and Matheesha Pathirana (1/26), managed to bundle out the Sunrisers for 118. The Sunrisers' innings was ultimately curtailed by a flurry of wickets in the final overs, with Viljoen and Pathirana claiming five wickets in just eight balls.
