Janneman Malan sets the Mzansi Super League alight in the opening match of the Mzansi Super League at the Wanderers vs the Jozi Stars, writes Naeemah Benjamin.
Despite losing a couple of partners at the other ends, he looked in complete control throughout the entire innings. He just kept going and never slowed down.
He powered his side to their highest total in the MSL with a collective effort from the rest of the batters. Cameos from his English teammates and his Cobras compatriot George Linde helped the Blitz score 213 in their 20 overs.
The most anticlimactic end to what was a blitzering knock by the 23-year-old was the dot ball he conceded in the final ball of the innings which saw him remain unbeaten on 99*.
This is the perfect start for the youngster who becomes harder to stop when he’s fully confident.
