SA20 2024: Sunrisers Eastern Cape claims back-to-back titles after win over Durban’s Super Giants

Sunrisers Eastern Cape gained back-to-back SA20 titles after an emphatic 89-run victory over Durban’s Super Giants at Newlands right here.

After topping the group stage, the Sunrisers delivered a scientific efficiency within the last on Saturday.

Half-centuries from Tom Abell (55) and Tristan Stubbs (56 not out) together with contributions from Jordan Hermann and captain Aiden Markram, who each contributed 42, respectively, noticed the Sunrisers submit a formidable 204/3.

The defending champions then bowled out the Super Giants for a paltry 115 in 17 overs.

Partnerships have been essential within the Sunrisers’ innings with Hermann and Abell organising the successful whole with a 90-run stand for the second wicket after the early lack of Dawid Malan.

Durban’s Super Giants captain, Keshav Maharaj, hit again with a double-wicket over by eradicating each set batters in Hermann and Abell.

But the Sunrisers confirmed they’d a lot extra in reserve with Markram and Stubbs rebuilding the innings earlier than exploding in the direction of the backend with 98 runs off 55 balls.

The Sunrisers’ bowling has been its strongest self-discipline all season and its seamers actually rose to the event on the evening.

Dan Worrall (2/15) set the tone upfront once more with the dismissal of Quinton de Kock early on earlier than Marco Jansen delivered two hammer blows within the fourth over with the removing of Jon Jon Smuts and Bhanuka Rajapaksa to go away the Super Giants reeling at 7/3.

Wiaan Mulder tried a restoration job with quickfire 38, however that’s when Ottniel Baartman (2/17) delivered the second of the match.

He had already dismissed Matthew Breetzke, but it surely was his in-swinger that wrapped the damaging Heinrich Klaasen on the pads first ball that closed the sport as a contest.

DSG have been on the ropes at 63/5 which left the door open for Jansen (5/30) to return charging by means of and end off the Super Giants tail to finish the back-to-back triumphs.
