Super Giants Edge Sunrisers in Gqeberha After Durban Washout Reshapes SA20 Race

The result follows Friday’s washout in Durban, underscoring how repeated no-results have distorted the SA20 points race.

Overview

  • Durban’s Super Giants beat Sunrisers Eastern Cape by two wickets at St George’s Park, successfully chasing 159 in a tense finish.
  • Sunrisers posted 158-5 with Tristan Stubbs unbeaten on 49 after recovering from 87-5, but DSG closed it out with late runs to seal the chase.
  • The victory came two days after the Kingsmead fixture was abandoned without a toss, which awarded two points to each team.
  • The washout had kept Sunrisers on top and left DSG frustrated by a third no-result this season, a pattern that has hampered their campaign.
  • Despite the defeat, Sunrisers remain at the summit, while the result tightens the mid-table scramble shaped by weather-affected fixtures and net run-rate.
