SA20 I Twitter lauds Malan-Hermann carnage as Curranās heroic innings in vain in Cape Town
In an absolute nail-biting encounter at the Newlands, Sunrisers Eastern Cape defeated MICT by 4 runs, making it their first win this season. The SEC innings was powered by a splendid 138 partnership by Dawid Malan and Jordan Hermann who helped their side to reach the total of 202/2
MICT openers Rassie van der Dussen and Ryan Rickelton did something similar to that of the last games and cruised through the powerplay. At the powerplay, MICT were 64/0 with the duo punishing the SEC bowlers with blazing boundaries and sixes. Ryan Rickelton has been a revelation in the two games he has played and scored a brilliant 50 off 24 balls with MICT looking a tad helpless hoping for a breakthrough. Meanwhile, the Rickelton carnage ceased as Ottniel Baartman gave SEC their first breakthrough and broke the 108 runs opening stand. THe MICT batting looked shaky thereafter with three quick dismissals of van der Dussen, Dewald Brevis and English star Liam Livingstone with the scorecard at 124/4 in 13 overs. Baartman picked up his third wicket as the hosts hoped to recover from the damage. With Sam Curran and Pollard in the crease, SEC produced quality good bowling, courtesy of Marco Jensen and Liam Dawson, restricting MI to 151/4 in 16 overs. But the Curran-Pollard duo looked optimistic in the run chase while their team cruised to 177/4 in 18 overs with Pollardās dismissal in the same over breaking the crucial partnership of 53 runs. Meanwhile, Connor Esterhuizen and Curran showed utmost grit but unfortunately succumbed to Baartmanās brilliant last over. Ā This is the first win of the season for the defending champion.
What a match!
