Sunrisers Eastern Cape v Pretoria Capitals

By

The Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Pretoria Capitals SA20 teams could be forgiven for thinking that they had travelled far back in time as a capacity crowd greeted them at St Georges Park, Gqeberha on Thursday 12 January for the first match for the home team in the series.

Pretoria Capitals XI: Phil Salt (wk), Will Jacks, Rilee Rossouw, Theunis de Bruyn, Shane Dadswell, James Neesham, Senuran Muthuswamy, Wayne Parnell (c), Eathan Bosch, Adil Rashid, Anrich Nortje

Sunrisers Eastern Cape XI: Sarel Erwee, JJ Smuts, Tom Abell, Jordan Cox (wk), Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs, Marco Jansen, James Fuller, Mason Crane, Sisanda Magala, Ottniel Baartman

The Sunrisers Eastern Cape won the toss and elected to bowl first. Cox, Abell, Fuller and Crane are the four overseas players for the Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Pretoria Capitals Captain and Gqeberha local, Wayne Parnell said he would have bowled first as well and reckons it is a typical St. George’s wicket.

#SA20 Sunrisers Eastern Cape v Pretoria Capitals

Opening for the Pretoria Capitals were Salt and Jacks who faced Sunrisers opener Marco Jansen.

First wicket to Sunrisers as Jacks was caught behind on the 5th ball of the 1st over – 9/1. Next batsman in was Rossouw.

At the end of 2 overs the Pretoria Capitals had lost two wickets – Will Jacks (caught Cox and Bowled Jansen) and Rilee Rossouw (Caught Crane and Bowled Magala) and were on 15/2.

At 17h57 pm the game was postponed due to bad weather – thunder and lightning and a smattering of rain encouraged the umpires to send the teams back to their dressing rooms. The teams have a buffer of 60 minutes before overs are lost.

At 18h25 the ground staff began preparing the covers for removal with the Pretoria Capitals on 41-2 after 4.2 overs. Play resumed at 18h38.

The 50 up mark for the Pretoria Capitals came after 33 minutes of play, 33 balls, 6 fours and 1 six with Salt and Muthusamy at the crease.

And then the covers came out again at 18h47 with the Pretoria Capitals on 55/3 (Salt – 21 and Muthusamy – 4).

At 19h00 the first ball of the resumed game was bowled. Power Play took place in over number 7.
