Win Projections to be updated soon
Aiden Markram, the captain of Sunrisers Eastern Cape, showcased his exceptional fielding skills during a recent SA20 league match, where he took a stunning one-handed catch. The catch occurred while Markram was positioned at mid-on, and he successfully grabbed the ball after the batsman mistimed a pull shot. Markram’s athleticism and agility were on full display as he leaped to secure the catch, earning praise for his remarkable fielding abilities.
The Sunrisers Eastern Cape emerged victorious in the match against Durban Super Giants, winning by a comfortable margin of 56 runs to advance in the competition. Markram’s outstanding catch added to the team’s triumph, highlighting his contribution both as a leader and a fielder.
Speaking at the post-match presentation, Markram expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance and emphasized the importance of their strategic approach. He credited the team’s fighting spirit and their ability to adapt to the changing conditions during the match. Markram also highlighted the significance of reaching the finals, noting that winning the tournament again would be a fantastic achievement for the team.
“Wasn’t much of it (team talk at halfway stage) to be honest. The team is full of characters who want to fight and I am fortunate that they were up for it today. We focus quite a lot on conditions, see what is our best chance to win and execute those plans. The wicket changed a lot before the rain and after rain. The ball was skidding on after the rain and we thought we were a few runs short at the halfway stage. It is huge, you want to be in finals, we have won it once and to do it again will be fantastic. We have had a busy week and to get an extra couple of days off will be great,” Markram said at the post-match presentation.”
With this win, Sunrisers Eastern Cape have not qualified for the final of the second edition of the SA20 League. They are the winners of the inaugural edition of the tournament. They will look to make two in a row on Sunday.
