The Sunrisers Eastern Cape are one win away from a historic third consecutive SA20 title after defeating the Joburg Super Kings in the first eliminator. They will face the Paarl Royals in the second eliminator with a chance to secure their spot in the final. Captain Aiden Markram led the charge with a match-winning 62, and the team is hoping for consistency from their batsmen as they chase history.
LEADING man Aiden Markram of Sunrisers Eastern Cape signs the match ball as they chase a three-peat in the SA20 League. Sport zpicsThe Sunrisers Eastern Cape have made the best of their scrappy SA20 third edition, and as they continue to make ends meet, they will be within touching distance of reaching their third straight final when they take on the Paarl Royals at Super Sport Park in Centurion on Thursday night.
Captain Aiden Markram has been at the forefront of the Orange Army’s charge this season and he once again delivered a captain's knock when it was needed the most. “We haven’t been at our best this competition, and we got a little bit close to that in this game,” Markram said after the match on Wednesday.
“The start was massive for us; I think we had 50 on the board when we lost our first wicket, and that allows the team to take a bit of time after losing a flurry of wickets. We managed to absorb the pressure, and I thought we could have gotten more than 180.
