SA20 2023: Full List of Award Winners, Prize Money, Records and Statistics

Johannesburg, February 13: The Sunrisers Eastern Cape were on Sunday (February 12) night crowned the inaugural SA20 champions after a comfortable four-wicket victory over the Pretoria Capitals at a sold out Wanderers in Johannesburg.

The final was moved to the reserve day after a waterlogged field and inclement weather forced it to be postponed. But that did nothing to dim the excitement with the Bullring creating a fabulous atmosphere.

And the Sunrisers Eastern Cape did not disappoint by delivering a brilliant bowling performance to by bowling the Capitals out for just 135.

It was led by the ever-green Roelof van Merwe. The 38-year-old delivered an excellent spell with the left-arm spinner picking up 4/31. Van der Merwe was ably supported by Sisanda Magala (2/30) and Ottniel Baartman (2/22).

The Sunrisers' reply did not get off to the best of starts with Temba Bavuma departing in the second over to Eathan Bosch.

Aiden Markram's team, however, were soon back on track with Adam Rossington counter-attacking through a 30-ball 57. Rossington tore into the Capitals' attack and ensured the chase was never going to be tricky.

Anrich Nortje bowled his heart out for the Capitals in a bid to haul his team back into the game, but ultimately his 2/21 was not going to be enough.

Marco Jansen delivered the killer blow for the Sunrisers with his six over long-off, setting off the celebrations all the way from Johannesburg to Gqeberha.
