By

Electrifying T20 action returns to Dafabet St Georges Park this Friday (March 8) when the Dafabet Warriors take on the AET Tuskers in a T20 match.

“It is exciting to have the strongest 11 that we are able to field for our first three games,” says coach Robbie Peterson.

“We had such a great crowd here for the SA20s and we hope that having some of the Sunrisers boys involved in our team that the crowd will flock to support us”.

Key players from the two-time SA20 champions, the Sunrisers Eastern Cape, will be in action.

“Guys like Marco Jansen, Anrich Nortje, Matthew Breetzke, Tristan Stubbs, Jordan Hermann, and Patrick Kruger are all looking forward to emulating the excitement of the SA20s on their home ground.

“Everybody is looking in tip-top shape for the competition,” says Peterson.

“It is going to be a great game on Friday the eighth and we really look forward to entertaining our home crowd,” says Kariega-born speedster Anrich Nortje who is back in the squad after not being able to play for some time due to injury.

“The whole team is really excited to be playing on our home ground.

“It has been a great build up so far, and we can’t wait to start this year’s CSAT20 challenge.

“Please come out and support us. The guys really appreciate it,” he adds.

It will be the Warriors’ first T20 game under lights in nearly three years, starting at six to give fans time to get to the grounds after work.

Entry is R40 adults and R20 for scholars and pensioners.
