The Sunrisers Eastern Cape made light work of the Pretoria Capitals at the Wanderers on Sunday by beating them by four-wickets and clinching the first Betway SA20 title.
Markram won the toss and opted to bowl. The skipper summed up conditions quickly and incisively as he brought on Van der Merwe, his experienced left-arm tweaker, as early as the third over to help spin a web around the Capitals batters.
Six players in the Capitals lineup reached double figures but none could kick on. Only Mendis scored more than 20 runs. The English wicketkeeper/batter bludgeoned five massive maximums – more than the entire Pretoria Capitals side. They were unsuccessful until the final over of the powerplay when 21-year-old Jordan Hermann ran past an Adil Rashid delivery and was stumped for 22 runs.
