New Year’s Day 2026 delivered the first Super Over in Betway SA20 history, with the Joburg Super Kings (JSK) and Durban Super Giants (DSG) delivering a thriller at the Wanderers. JSK wicketkeeper Donovan Ferreira sent the Bullring into delirium when he threw down the stumps to run out Eathan Bosch off the final delivery, which tied up the game with both teams finishing on 205. Richard Gleeson took on the responsibility of bowling the Super Over for JSK and should have had Evan Jones caught at long-off with the first delivery but maintained his composure for the remainder of the five deliveries to restrict DSG to five runs with Jones run out on the last ball.
JSK had no trouble knocking off the target, with Rilee Rossouw hitting two boundaries off Noor Ahmad to send the hosts to the top of the SA20 table after three consecutive victories.

The regulation contest saw Shubham Ranjane’s maiden SA20 half-century set up JSK’s 205/4.
The US international blazed an unbeaten 50 off 31 balls, which included four boundaries and two sixes. Ranjane shared an unbroken 49-run partnership off only 16 balls with Ferreira, who also flexed his muscles with 33 not out off 10 balls with one boundary and four sixes. It followed a solid 64-run partnership between Ranjane and Wiaan Mulder that regained the momentum for JSK after DSG had put the brakes on through spin pair Noor Ahmad and Simon Harmer during the middle period.

Afghanistan star Noor Ahmad was excellent on the night, collecting figures of 3/12 from his four overs, while Harmer finished with 1/22. The DSG spin pair delivered their eight overs for a total of 4/34. Unfortunately for the Super Giants, however, the seam trio of David Wiese (0/53 from three overs), Eathan Bosch (0/56 off four overs) and Kwena Maphaka (0/50 off four overs) leaked a combined 159 from their 11 overs.
