The Joburg Super Kings (JSK) have clinched a playoff berth in the SA20 thanks to a dominant spin bowling display in their final round-robin match. Imran Tahir, Prenelan Subrayen, and Akeal Hosein shared six wickets, expertly navigating a spin-friendly pitch at Boland Park to propel JSK to a 44-run victory over the Paarl Royals.
This crucial win saw the Royals dismantled for 122, with captain David Miller sidelined by injury. Earlier, JSK had set a challenging target of 166/5. Leus du Plooy was the standout performer with an explosive, unbeaten 54 off just 27 balls, anchoring the innings in the absence of injured stars.
JSK will now face the Paarl Royals again in the Eliminator on Thursday at SuperSport Park. The victory ensures the Joburg-based side continues their campaign, while the Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Pretoria Capitals will compete in the first Qualifier on Wednesday.
