The 23rd match of the SA20 2024 tournament unfolded amidst rain and fireworks as MI Cape Town clashed with Joburg Super Kings at Newlands on Monday. Despite the weather interruptions, both teams displayed explosive batting perform♑ances,🐭 captivating the audience. However, amidst the thrilling encounter, a heated moment involving two star players stole the spotlight.

Faf du Plessis upset with Kieron Pollard’s tactics

Veteran batter Faf du Plessis showcased his batting prowess, leading Joburg Super Kings’ charge with a blistering 20-ball half-century. Alongside his opening partner Leus du Plooy, Du Plessis propelled the team towards the challenging target of 98 runs in just 5.4 overs. However, amidst their onslaught, Du Plessis found himself visibly upset with the tactics employed by MICT captain Kieron Pollard.

Tensions rise as rain intervenes

As Joburg Super Kings approached victory, rain once again interrupted play during their chase. In a shortened eight-over-per-side contest, the need for swift action was crucial. However, Pollard’s tactics of delaying the game further irked Du Plessis, leading to a tense moment on the field.

The contentious moment occurred on the first ball of the fourth over bowled by Kagiso Rabada. Just as Rabada prepared to deliver, Pollard halted proceedings, much to Du Plessis’ dismay. The frustration was evident as the former South Africa captain vocally expressed his displeasure, shouting ‘No, no Polly.’
