Commentary

That’s a wrap from our side as well. Thank you for joining us from all around the globe. This is Prince suman signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Tugral Azmi and Scorer / Analyst Chandan Kumar Singh. Do join us for the other fixtures across the globe. Until then, Ta-Ta, Bye-Bye.

Aiden Markram (Sunrisers Eastern Cape): "It lacked conviction. At the end of the day, it makes for entertaining watching. Happy to have won anyway. On these wickets, you need to allow yourself some time. We'll learn from this and take care to avoid making the same errors twice. It's encouraging to see how many characters the bowlers are displaying. I'm hoping they'll keep going."

Player of the Match: Aiden Markram

David Miller (Paarl Royals Captain): "At the end of the day, it's all about mentality since we didn't score enough runs. But during the middle overs, we fought well. When you lose wickets in T20 matches, it is difficult. Although I believe the boys did a decent job, we didn't do well enough today. Although the pitch did begin to pick some pace, it was sluggish in the late afternoon. On Saturday, we need to have a better mentality. a significant weekend for us."

Wihan Lubbe(28 off 21 balls) and Corbin Bosch(20 runs off 29 balls) tried to build some partnership in the middle but their progress was halted as Wihan Lubbe departed. Jason Roy(6 runs off 6 balls), Jos Buttler(12 runs off 9 balls), Morgan(2 runs off 5 balls), and Miller(10 runs off 9 balls) failed to impress with the bat today.

Then Bjorn Fortuin came and took 2 wickets in 2 balls and put some pressure on the opposition. But Marco Jansen(21* runs off 22 balls) and Tristan Stubbs(18* runs off 12 balls) took charge and put his team on track. Marco Jansen finished the match with a six. Jordan Hermann was the top run-scorer for Sunrisers Eastern Cape, and Adam Rossington score quick 20 runs in just 12 balls, while Sarel Erwee and Jordan Cox didn’t open their account.
