SA20 2023: The Durban Super Giants (DSG) were forced to settle for a draw in their game against the Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) on February 3rd at the SA20 tournament, as persistent rain prevented a full match from being played.
Jonty Rhodes rushes with the covers
Although, this is not all, as former cricketer Jonty Rhodes was spotted helping the staff in putting the covers. The video of the moment has now gone immensely viral on social media. Despite their best efforts, including support from former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes, the ground staff were unable to get the covers over the square quickly enough to protect the field from the heavy rain and winds.
This result was a major setback for DSG, who were in dire need of a win to keep their hopes of qualifying alive. Heading into the match, they were already on a losing streak with four consecutive defeats. However, they had managed to turn things around with a recent win over MI Cape Town, but picking up just two points from their game against SEC has greatly diminished their chances of advancing to the next round.
However, apart from the match, Jonty Rhodes assistance to the staff made headlines on the internet. Fans were clearly amused by what they saw and once again it showed why he is one of the best players to have ever graced the game of cricket.

DSG is currently in fifth place, trailing behind Johannesburg Super Kings by four points, but have played one more game and have a game in hand from MI Cape Town. To keep their hopes of qualifying alive, they must now win their final game with a bonus point and hope for favourable outcomes from other matches.
