In the ninth match of the 2025-26 season of the SA20 League, Joburg Super Kings faced Durban Super Giants. In this match played at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, an Afghan bowler bowled amazingly. This bowler caught everyone’s attention by his test-like performance in the T20 match. This bowler also proved to be the stingiest bowler of the match, in front of whom the batsmen of Joburg Super Kings were seen struggling to score runs.
Noor Ahmed bowled magically
In this match, Joburg Super Kings won the toss and chose to bowl. At the same time, Joburg Super Kings, batting first, scored a huge score of 205 runs after losing 4 wickets in 20 overs. The team had a great start and the team scored runs at a fast pace through the power play. But thanks to the economical and wicket-taking bowling of Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmed, Durban prevented Joburg from reaching a big score to a great extent.
Noor Ahmed took 3 important wickets giving just 12 runs in his 4 overs. His economy was also only 3 runs per over and he bowled a total of 15 dot balls, which kept the pressure on Joburg’s batsmen. Caught in Noor’s spin, Joburg’s batsmen were seen struggling. His balls were turning fast and review was also taken several times, but Noor’s magic continued. He made big batsmen like Mathieu de Villiers, Faf Duplessis and Wiaan Mulder his victims. But he did not get support from the other bowlers.
Ethan Bosch made a shameful record
In this match, Durban Super Giants fast bowler Ethan Bosch proved to be very expensive. He spent 56 runs in his 4 overs and could not take a single wicket. During this period his economy rate was Rs 14.00. Due to which he also became the bowler who spent the most runs in a match for Durban Super Giants. At the same time, David Wiese spent 53 runs in just 3 overs. The condition of Kwena Mafaka was also similar, where he gave away 50 runs in 4 overs.
