Sunrisers Eastern Cape News

Cricket South Africa has announced the fixtures of the third edition of the SA20 league with defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape set to square off against MI Cape Town in Gqenberha. Johannesburg will continue to stage the grand finale with Centurion hosting a couple of playoff games.

Two-time SA20 champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape have secured English opener Zak Crawley and Dutch player Roelof van der Merwe for the SA20 2025 season. Crawley will debut in the prestigious South African league, while van der Merwe is set to return after participating in the inaugural season.

Sometimes arguments can lead to progressive results, but sometimes they can create confusion as well. Such was the case in the qualifier game between Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Durban’s Super Giants where Dawid Malan was seen arguing with umpires regarding a run-out and DRS appeal.

Athletes often undergo a rush of adrenaline during an intense competition and such was the case with Tabraiz Shamsi when he got the better of on-song Tom Abell. After getting banged for two fours and a six, Shamsi had the final laugh but it transpired into an agonizing act in Boland Park.
