The hosts were good to begin with! They got a few early wickets, especially Mujeeb who was the star. He got good support from Kwena Maphaka who also had an impressive outing. However, Galiem was quite expensive and his spell could be the difference. This is going to be a tricky chase for the hosts against a really good bowling unit. They'll have to bat really well if they are to gun this down. The defending champions on the other hand, will back themselves to defend this. Join us for the chase in a bit.
Tristan Stubbs is up for a quick chat.
That’s a good effort with the bat by the defending champions on a wicket that is on the slower side. All thanks to the pair of Aiden Markram and Tristan Stubbs. They were in slight trouble when the two joined the association. They began slowly but accelerated big time towards the end. The two added over 100 runs with the skipper leading from the front. They’ll be pretty pleased with the total they have on board.

Kwena Maphaka 35/2(4)
OUT! TAKEN! Kwena Maphaka ends the innings with another wicket! He takes pace off again, short of a length and around off. Marco Jansen moves across and tries to heave it away but fails to generate the power on it. He hits it flat and in the air towards deep mid-wicket where Mitchell Van Buuren pouches it safely. Sunrisers Eastern Cape finishes on 175/5!
