Sunrisers thrash Capitals to storm to top
The Star
|January 06, 2026
SUNRISERS Eastern Cape delivered an emphatic statement with a first-ever Betway SA20 victory over Pretoria Capitals at Centurion yesterday.
The two-time champions stormed to the top of the table with a comprehensive 10-wicket victory, which earned the Eastern Cape side a third bonus point.
Openers Quinton de Kock (79 not out, 41 balls, 5x4, 5x6) and Jonny Bairstow (85 not out, 44 balls, 8x4, 6x6) produced an electrifying 177-run opening stand that silenced the home crowd.
De Kock kickstarted the run chase with Bairstow content to play the supporting role initially. But the former England World Cup winner exploded into action when he took down Capitals captain Keshav Maharaj in the 12th over.
Bairstow blasted Maharaj for 34 runs - the most expensive over in SA20 history - with the opener smashing five sixes and a boundary.
