The showdown between Durban Super Giants and MI Cape Town at Kingsmead was abandoned on Sunday. After MI Cape Town won the toss and opted to bowl, Durban’s Super Giants surged to 37 without loss after four overs before adverse weather halted play.
The all-Kiwi opening pairing of Devon Conway and Kane Williamson picked up where they left off at Newlands on Friday. Conway, 24 not out off 13 balls, was particularly aggressive against his fellow New Zealander Trent Boult, blasting two straight sixes in the opening over.
Williamson then moved things along in the next over, nonchalantly blasting two boundaries off league debutant Karim Janat, who had come in for Tristan Luus.
Rain rapidly intensified, stalling momentum and eventually forcing the umpires to abandon play at 6pm.
Both teams earned two points apiece. Durban Super Giants climbed to the top of the table with six points, following their opening-win at Newlands, while MI Cape Town rose to fourth place.
