After winning the toss and opting to bat first, the Keshav Maharaj-led side was handed the first jolt in Quinton de Kock early in the inning. However, the next wicket came in the very next over, courtesy, Romario Shepherd’s brilliant athleticism. Nandre Burger, who bowled the fourth over, bowled a short of a length delivery to opener Matthew Breetzke. While the Giants opener played an outrageous flick on one leg, Shepherd, who was positioned at short mid-wicket, timed his jump to perfection to complete a sensational catch to cut short Matthew’s inning.
