Sunrisers Eastern Cape Winn Sa20 Final
Champion players or teams are those who know how to get up and bounce back after falling once. Sunrisers Eastern Cape is also the same team which knows how to make a comeback. Sunrisers Eastern Cape, the most successful team of SA20, has become champion for the third time. Sunrisers, who missed a hat-trick of titles by losing in last season’s final, made a comeback this season and again won the trophy. On the basis of the excellent innings of captain Tristan Stubbs, Sunrisers won the title by defeating Pretoria Capitals by 6 wickets in the final.
In this final played on Sunday in Cape Town, Pretoria batted first and for them Dewald Brevis scored an explosive century. At the age of just 22, Brewis became the youngest batsman to score a century in the final. He played an inning of 101 runs in just 56 balls. But apart from him, no other batsman could show any strength. Due to this, the entire team could score only 158 runs in 20 overs. The reason for this was fast bowler Marco Jansson, who gave only 10 runs in 4 overs and took 3 wickets.
But in response, Sunrisers Eastern Cape lost 4 wickets for only 48 runs, while 9 overs were also over. In such a situation, the team needed more than 110 runs in the last 11 overs. Matthew Britzky and captain Tristan Stubbs took charge at such times. Both of them batted carefully for some time, due to which the team’s 100 runs were completed in 15.4 overs. But after this both of them attacked and then hit fours and sixes.
