Cape Argus
|January 13, 2026
SUNRISERS Eastern Cape coach Adrian Birrell has stressed that his team remains steadfast on finishing in the top two after the Betway SA20 group stages.
The two-times champions currently top the table with 19 points with three matches remaining — Paarl Royals have four — but stumbled against Durban’s Super Giants in a thriller at St George’s Park on Sunday.
The victory would have ensured qualification for the playoffs and entrenched their position at the summit, but now they have allowed the chasing park to close in with just four points separating first and fourth.
The two sides finishing first and second after the group stages are assured of a place in Qualifier 1 at Kingsmead on Wednesday, mJanuary 21 with a possible straight entry to the final at Newlands.
“It was never going to be easy. You look around, I mean, this team is a formidable team, DSG, that we played against.
