SA20 Final: Sunrisers Hope To Defend Title In A Clash With Super Giants
Sunrisers Eastern Cape: Defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Durban’s Super Giants will meet at a sold-out Newlands for the much-anticipated SA20 Season 2 final on Saturday with the Super Giants hoping to exact revenge for their defeat earlier in the tournament.
It is a rematch of Qualifier 1 played earlier this week in Cape Town, which the Sunrisers comfortably won by 51 runs, to book their second successive appearance in the grand showpiece. The Super Giants, meanwhile, had to take the long route up to Johannesburg to face the Joburg Super Kings in Qualifier 2 at the Wanderers.
Keshav Maharaj’s team raised themselves for the occasion, defeating the Super Kings by 69 runs to secure their first-ever SA20 final appearance. The Sunrisers have the experience of winning last year’s final before a packed Wanderers Stadium and captain Aiden Markram believes this along with the recuperation gained this week will benefit his team on Saturday.
