Presentations coming up...
Earlier in the match, initially, the pitch favored the bowlers, but after a rain delay, it became better for batting. Dawid Malan and Aiden Markram performed well, but Malan's dismissal shifted the momentum. Durban's Super Giants bowlers, Keshav Maharaj, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Junior Dala, excelled in the later part, restricting the score. Ultimately, Sunrisers Eastern Cape ended their innings at 157/8.
Chasing 158, Durban's Super Giants needed a solid start but what they got was anything but a solid start! They went three down inside the powerplay with very few runs on the board and when that happens in a chase, it is difficult to fight back. Wiaan Mulder batted well but Heinrich Klaasen tried to show some intent at the end but couldn't get the side over the line.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape are into the SA20 League 2024 finals! Excellent bowling display from Sunrisers Eastern Cape! They were right on the money from the get-go. They were also exceptional in their field. Ottniel Baartman picked up a four-fer and was certainly the pick of the bowlers. Marco Jansen picked up four wickets as well, while Liam Dawson has two in his kitty.

OUT! TAKEN! Marco Jansen is the man who finishes the job for Sunrisers Eastern Cape! It's done and dusted! Marco Jansen sees the batter taking room and so he follows the batter, pitching it down the leg and fuller. Junior Dala tries to woop it but fails to find the elevation and the proper timing and ends up lobbing the straight to the fielder, Patrick Kruger standing still at the deep square leg region and takes the skier into his safe pair of hands. Sunrisers Eastern Cape wins the match against Durban's Super Giants by 51 runs and gets the ticket to move directly to the final stop!
