SA20 match 3 review


 

Pretoria Capitals beat Sunrisers Eastern Cape by 23 runs in match 3 of the SA20. 

Both teams got off to slow starts but recovered during the middle with the bat in hand. The Key partnership for Pretoria Capitals was Phil Salt and James Neesham as they put together 77 of 50 to take the Capitals to a competitive target before Parnell and Salt added 36 of 13 to put the finishing touches and give the Capitals a winning total. 

The Sunrisers were in early trouble during the chase after their bowlers were poor in closing off the innings as they gave away far too many runs. The Sunrisers had three key Partnerships one between smuts and Abell who put together 65of 39, Stubbs and Smuts who put together 34 of 17 and Abell and Fuller who put together 37 of 19 but it was not enough to get them to victory on the night. 

The Standout performers on the night were Phil Salt who scored 77 of 47 at a strike rate of 163.82 hitting 11 4s and Anrich Nortje who had bowling figures of 4 overs 1 maiden 2-18. Both were excellent for the Capitals, and they made the difference as their team ended up on the winning side.
