Sunrisers Eastern Cape climb to second place

Meanwhile, a 5-wicket victory on Thursday has ensured that the Sunrisers Eastern Cape climb to the second place in the SA20 points table. Although it is usually the Royals who are a strong spin attack on this occasion it was the Sunrisers who spun a web around the home batters. 

Aiden Markram (2/21), Roelof van der Merwe (2/21) and Brydon Carse (2/29) picked 6/71 in between their 12 overs to restrict the Royals to 127/7. In response, the Sunrisers did lose their way in the middle when Lungi Ngidi picked 2 wickets in 2 balls but Jordan Hermann's 43 along with healthy contributions from Rossington (20), captain Aiden Markram (23), Tristan Stubbs (18*) and Marco Jansen (22*) turned out to be enough to see them over the line with 10 balls to spare.
