Faf du Plessis Got Angry On Kieron Pollard : The South Africa 20 League saw an amazing match between MI Cape Town and Joburg Super Kings yesterday. At one point the outcome of the match seemed almost impossible. Joburg Super Kings won the rain-affected match by 10 wickets via the Duckworth-Lewis method. Everyone has seen the rivalry between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, but the South Africa Twenty20 league also saw a fierce rivalry between the sister franchises of these two teams. MI Cape Town scored 80 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 8 overs, the match was stopped midway due to rain. MI Cape Town captain Kieron Pollard did something to win the match which infuriated Joburg Super Kings captain Faf du Plessis.
JSC got a target of 98 runs in 8 overs
Joburg Super Kings chased down a target of 98 runs in 8 overs through the Duckworth-Lewis method. Faf Duplessis and Les Duploy together achieved the target in just 5.4 overs. Duploy scored 41 runs off 14 balls while du Plessis scored 50 runs off 20 balls. The way both of them batted, it seemed that if there was a 20 over match, both of them would have scored 300 runs in 20 overs. Rain also started during the Joburg Super Kings' batting and Pollard was embarrassed to delay the match.
Pollard did this to delay the match
Both the teams have to play at least 5 overs for the result of T20 match. The third over of Joburg Super Kings' innings had just finished and by the time Kagiso Rabada came to bowl the next over, it had started to rain. To delay the match, Rabada was called by Pollard before he bowled and could not bowl. Faf du Plessis looked very upset about this. At that time Joburg Super Kings needed just 41 runs from 30 balls to win. Joburg Super Kings scored 57 runs in just 3 overs.
