Cricket fans love a finish that goes down to the wire, and the New Year’s Day clash in the SA20 delivered exactly that. In a heart-stopping game between the Joburg Super Kings and Durban’s Super Giants, a moment of brilliance from Donovan Ferreira forced a Super Over and brought back memories of one of cricket's greatest legends.

The match at the Wanderers was on a knife-edge. Durban’s Super Giants needed just one run off the final ball to win. The tension was palpable. As the bowler, Wiaan Mulder, delivered a ball that angled across the batter, Simon Harmer missed his shot. Desperate for the win, the batters tried to steal a bye.

This is where Ferreira showed his presence of mind. Reacting instantly, he whipped off his glove, collected the ball, and unleashed a direct hit to catch Eathan Bosch short of the crease. The scores were tied, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

For JSK captain Faf du Plessis, the moment was instant deja vu. It reminded him of his former teammate, MS Dhoni.

Faf was referring to the iconic 2016 T20 World Cup match between India and Bangladesh. In that game, Bangladesh needed two runs off the last ball. Hardik Pandya bowled a wide delivery, and the batter missed. Dhoni, anticipating the run, had already removed one glove. Instead of throwing the ball, he sprinted to the stumps and broke them, securing a famous one-run victory for India.

Ferreira displayed that same "ice in the veins" composure. His quick thinking not only saved the match for JSK but also allowed them to go on and win the Super Over. It was a perfect example of how keeping a cool head, just like Captain Cool himself, can change the course of a game.
