JSK recovered from being 27/4 to post an ultimately winning total of 190/6 in their SA20 opener against Durban Super Giants.

The Super Giants, however, proved they weren't out of the battle despite their weak bowling show in the second half of that innings. Du Plessis, batting at No.3, hunkered down to anchor the innings and in the company of Ferreira played out three quiet overs before the latter exploded into life right after the time out. The visitors, who elected to bat, were pushed onto the backfoot early in the contest with Quinton de Kock's expert use of the slow bowlers inside the PowerPlay.

That Joburg Super Kings batting performance was an MS Dhoni innings spread out over a whole team. [January 11, 2023] Just trying to focus on my game, the coaching staff picked me for a reason and I will do what I just needed to do. However, as soon as Mayers and De Kock were dismissed, the middle-order couldn’t handle the heat as Super Giants only managed to reach 174/5, losing the contest by 16 runs. In response, Kyle Mayers and skipper Quinton de Kock took the Super Giants off to a flyer, expressing their clear intentions of finishing the game early. Batting first, the Super Kings started terribly with half of their side back in the pavilion inside 14 overs for just 99.
