SA20: Sunrisers Clinch Bonus Point Win Over Pretoria Capitals
The Kiwi Express Milne: Quinton de Kock's batting masterclass powered Sunrisers Eastern Cape to 48-run bonus point win over Pretoria Capitals at St Georges Park The victory propelled the Sunrisers to top of the SA20 table with 10 points, while the Capitals remain winless after two matches. The Gqeberha locals came out in their thousands to deck South Africas oldest Test venue in a sea of orange for the first home game of Season 4 with the iconic brass band getting everyone in the festive spirit to deliver yet another memorable SA20 night. De Kock certainly gave them plenty to cheer for with the left-hander blazing 77 off just 47 balls (5x4, 6x6). The left-hander struck the ball sweetly from the outset with a couple of rasping lofted cover drives interspersed with powerful pull shots. Matthew Breetzke (52 off 33 balls) was the perfect partner for De Kock after the early demise of Jonny Bairstow with the pair putting together an electrifying 116-run partnership off just 70 balls. This laid the platform for the in-form Jordan Hermann (37 off 20 balls) to unleash a series of conventional and reverse sweeps that pushed Sunrisers to an impressive 188/6. The four Player of the Match candidates were Matthew Breetzke, Quinton de Kock, Shai Hope and Adam Milne with the 'QDK' winning 69.3 per cent of the fan vote. The total proved way beyond the reach of the Capitals with the Sunrisers unleashing their three-pronged pace arsenal of Marco Jansen, Adam Milne and Anrich Nortje. Jansen required just six balls to strike the first blow when he removed Capitals opener Bryce Parsons with a rasping delivery that the left-hander could only fend off to De Kock behind the stumps. The Kiwi Express Milne (4-25) was next in the act when he dismissed West Indian Shai Hope (36 off 19 balls) just as he threatened to build an innings of substance. The four Player of the Match candidates were Matthew Breetzke, Quinton de Kock, Shai Hope and Adam Milne with the 'QDK' winning 69.3 per cent of the fan vote.

'Id Call It The Ideal Build-up': Anrich Nortjes SA20 Surge Fuels T20 World Cup Hopes
T20 World Cup: Anrich Nortje believes the past two months have given him the perfect platform to push for a place in South Africas T20 World Cup squad, which is set to be announced next week, as the fast bowler continues his comeback from a long run of injuries. Nortje made a thunderous start to the SA20 season for Sunrisers Eastern Cape, tearing through Paarl Royals with figures of 4 for 13 to bowl them out for a tournament-record low total of 49. It marked his best T20 returns since last years World Cup and his first appearance in South Africas franchise competition since the inaugural season. His back issues forced him to miss the second and third editions, while injuries have limited him to just two international matches over the past 18 months. Despite opting out of a central contract with Cricket South Africa, Nortje remains available for national selection and is firmly in contention for the global tournament. Hopefully I get selected, but for now it's just to try and build, take it game by game and day by day. I had a nice little buildup starting with the CSA T20 challenge and then got the call-up for the India series. I'd call it the ideal build-up. From here on, it's just to try and execute and work on one or two things. It's also so busy, so it's just to try and keep the momentum going, keep a clear head, and keep focus. I'd probably call it the ideal build-up just from where I was a few months ago to now, Nortje was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo after the Eastern Cape's opening win in Paarl. The SA20 schedule will test Nortjes durability, with the possibility of playing five matches in 10 days early on and as many as 13 in a month if the Eastern Cape reach the playoffs. Given his recent history, which includes missing the 2023 ODI World Cup and the 2025 Champions Trophy, the workload could be a concern. Nortje, however, insists he is not preoccupied by what might go wrong. You've got to trust your body, and you can't worry about this or that. I don't think it's something I ever don't trust, he said. When something's wrong, then it's probably too late, but, in general, you have to trust your bodyWhen I'm out injured, I'm just motivated to get back better and build on what I can remember, he added. Signs of progress were evident even before the SA20. Nortje finished joint fourth on the wicket-taking list in the CSA T20 Challenge and featured in two matches during South Africas recent T20I series in India, where his pace and control steadily improved despite going wicketless. In Paarl, he looked back to his best, using the short ball effectively on a slow, uneven surface and showcasing his full skill set. With his confidence growing, Nortje is also open to expanding his international ambitions beyond T20 cricket. He has not played an ODI in over two years or a Test since early 2023, but remains eager to contribute again in longer formats. Signs of progress were evident even before the SA20. Nortje finished joint fourth on the wicket-taking list in the CSA T20 Challenge and featured in two matches during South Africas recent T20I series in India, where his pace and control steadily improved despite going wicketless.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score For now, Nortjes focus remains firmly on the shortest format, with the SA20, T20 World Cup, and a return to the IPL with Lucknow Super Giants shaping a busy few months ahead.
