Rahmanullah Gurbaz delivered a breathtaking knock for the Pretoria Capitals, providing them with a scintillating start in their SA20 clash against the Durban Super Giants. The Afghan wicketkeeper-batter was in imperious form, smashing boundaries at will and setting the stage for a mammoth total alongside Will Jacks.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s Blazing Half-Century

From the first ball, Gurbaz looked in complete control, dismantling the opposition bowlers with his aggressive stroke play. He raced to a half-century in just 22 balls, peppering the boundary ropes with ease. His innings was a masterclass in power hitting, as he relied heavily on finding the gaps and clearing the field.

In partnership with Will Jacks, Gurbaz formed an incredible 154-run opening stand, which came off just 73 balls. The duo kept the scoreboard ticking at a rapid pace, putting the Durban Super Giants’ bowlers under immense pressure.

The Match-Changing Dismissal

Gurbaz seemed unstoppable, smashing 89 runs off just 43 balls, laced with 10 fours and 5 towering sixes. However, his electrifying knock came to an end on the first ball of the 13th over, thanks to a clever delivery by his compatriot, Noor Ahmad.

Noor bowled a full-length ball at 92 kph, pitching outside the off stump. Gurbaz, looking to add another six to his tally, attempted a slog sweep but mistimed it. The ball went high into the air, and Heinrich Klaasen made no mistake at the deep midwicket boundary. Gurbaz’s wicket left Pretoria Capitals at 154/1, and the momentum shifted slightly in favor of the Super Giants.
