Sunrisers Eastern Cape v Joburg Super Kings – #SA20 Match 17

By

Match 17 of the SA20 tournament in Gqeberha, saw the second on the log with 12 points, Sunrisers Eastern Cape versus the bottom of the log, Joburg Super Kings.

With an hour or so to go the fans were forming deep queues to get into the ground which was rumoured to be sold out for this game. Testament to the fact that a winning team attracts winning crowds.

On everyones lips was the explosive batting prowess of Marco Jansen who has ‘saved’ the day on more than one occasion this tournament.

So far in this SA20 tournament the Sunrisers have opted to chase rather than set a target in their 5 games past. Will they stick to this winning formula?

The Joburg Super Kings won the toss and elected to bowl to Sunrisers – maybe this change in ‘formula’ would benefit the Joburg Super Kings?

Faf du Plessis says they have batted first in all the matches so far, and most teams have preferred chases so they would like to “join the bandwagon”. Says the ball has been coming on to the ball better in the second innings and he hopes that stays the case.

Markram says he would have also chosen to bowl first. Credits the bowlers for their winning run. Says execution was not good in the first two matches, which they lost. Says that’s something easy to live with as plans were in place.
