An outstanding captain’s knock by Dane Vilas, 75 (52), together with Wihan Lubbe’s 49 (28) helped the visitors reach their target with three balls to spare.

After surviving a scare from a superb opening spell from Dale Steyn, David Miller delivered the final blows with his 26 (27) which included a six off the last ball of the 19th over, which meant the Heat needed just three runs to win.

On Debut, David Bedingham (44 of 33) put together a 101-run partnership with Janneman Malan (75 off 42) as the Blitz posted a daunting 181 runs.

Durban Heat will host Nelson Mandela Bay Giants at Kingsmead on Saturday (30 November 2019).
