In the last South African Twenty20 match, which took place on Wednesday, Sunrisers Eastern Cape prevailed over MI Cape Town by a score of two wickets.
When given the opportunity to bat first, Cape Town scored 171 runs in 20 overs because to the contributions of Grant Roelofsen and Ryan Rickelton, who scored 56 and 46 runs, respectively.
Roelof van der Merwe and Ottniel Baartman both grabbed two wickets for the Sunrisers, while Aiden Markram, the team’s captain, and Sisanda Magala each took one wicket.
After that, Sunrisers won by two wickets with three balls to spare thanks to Marco Jansen’s scorching effort of 66 off 27 balls.
Everyone was blown away by Jansen’s incredible batting skills, which is not surprising given his reputation for having amazing speed. The Proteas fast bowler completely dominating the spinner Rashid Khan was easily the night’s most memorable moment. Rashid Khan was completely annihilated.
In the 16th over of the Sunrisers’ chase, Jansen hit the Afghanistan T20I skipper for one boundary, four sixes, and a total of five runs off of his delivery. After allowing 28 runs in that over, Rashid called time on the play, which proved to be a pivotal factor in Sunriser’s triumph over MI Cape Town.
Jansen’s first spell of the first innings resulted in no wickets being taken, and he also allowed 29 runs to be scored off of him.
However, with his amazing knock in the second inning, he absolutely turned the tide of the game and transformed the way it was going.
On the same day as Sunrisers Eastern Cape play Joburg Super Kings, MI Cape Town will face off against Paarl Royals in their upcoming match, while Sunrisers Eastern Cape’s opponent will be Joburg Super Kings.
