DSG clashed against SEC in the Qualifier 1 where they suffered a 51-run defeat. The Sunrisers drafted a total of 157 runs for the loss of eight wickets, but the Super Giants fell short of 41 runs in the second innings of the game to lose the match. Wiaan Mulder and Heinrich Klaasen starred with the bat scoring 38 and 23 runs respectively, while Keshav Maharaj and Junior Dala shined with the ball, picking up two wickets each.
