SA20 match 14 review

Sunrisers continue their comeback with their 3rd straight win in the SA20. The Sunrisers beat the Royals by 4 wickets in what turned out to be a close low-scoring encounter between the 2 teams.

The Royals struggled with the bat after losing wickets at regular intervals as all their batsman got starts and then lost their wicket. The Sunrisers' bowlers never let the batsman get away from them as all bowled well. The Standouts were Magala 1-15 in 4 overs, Markram 2-21 in 4 overs, Roelof Van der Merwe 2-21 in 4 overs and Brydon Carse 2-29 in 4 overs.

The Sunrisers looked comfortable in the chase as Jordan Hermann 43 0f 39 including 3 4s and 2 6s and Aiden Markram 23 of 23 including 1 four and 1 six put together a partnership of 57 of 50 to take the Sunrisers within distance of victory before Bjorn Fortuin 3-20 in 4 overs took 3 wickets in an over to give the Sunrisers a bit of a scare before Stubbs and Jansen guided them home.

The pitch for this match was a good one it just required the batsman to apply themselves and play proper cricketing shots. The biggest key on this pitch was patience. If you look at how Hermann and Markram batted, you know that it is possible to bat on this pitch and score around 140 to 150 which is a competitive score in these conditions.

SA20 review

The SA20 season 2 has ended with Sunrisers Eastern Cape successfully defending their title to win back-to-back titles. The Sunrisers were the team to beat as they played an excellent brand of cricket and dominated throughout the tournament winning 7 matches and losing 2 with 1 no result to top the table in the league stage. The final of SA20 season 2 was played by the 2 best teams of the tournament the Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Durban Super Giants. Sunrisers proved too good for Super Giants beating them by 89 runs to not only successfully defend their SA20 title but also win the head-to-head between the 2 teams 3-1. SA20 season 2 saw some unbelievable performances with quite a few young South African players taking the opportunity and shining. The young standout SA batsman were: Rickelton 530 runs ave 58.88, strike-rate 173.77 Breetzke 416 runs ave 32, strike-rate 135.50 Stubbs 301 runs ave 60.20, strike-rate, 168.15 Mulder 297 runs...

In reply, the Proteas were always ahead of the scoring rate, the only problem was they lost wickets at regular intervals, which is why they ended up being bowled out for 287.
