Sunrisers Eastern Cape Secures First SA20 Victory Over Durban

The Sunrisers Eastern Cape secured their first victory of the 2025 SA20 season with a 58-run win over the Durban Super Giants at Kingsmead, breaking a three-match losing streak. After posting a total of 165-5, led by Tom Abell's 57 and supported by Zak Crawley's 38, the Sunrisers capitalized on a strong bowling performance, particularly from Noor Ahmad, who took 4 wickets for 25 runs. The Durban Super Giants struggled in their chase, collapsing to 107 all out, with key players like Quinton de Kock and Kane Williamson failing to make significant contributions. Eastern Cape's victory, although a much-needed boost, still leaves them at the bottom of the table, while Durban remains in fifth place. This match marked a turning point for the Sunrisers, who will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming matches. The next fixtures feature the Pretoria Capitals facing Joe Root's Paarl Royals and MI Cape Town taking on Joburg Super Kings.
