Sunrisers off to bright start

The Citizen

December 29, 2025

The Sunrisers Eastern Cape have won the competition twice and been runners-up once in three seasons and if their first match in this season's SA20 competition is anything to go by they're again going to be up there at the end of January when season four comes to a conclusion.

- Jacques van der Westhuyzen

They hammered the Paarl Royals in Paarl in the opening game for both teams on Saturday by 137 runs, bowling out their hosts for 49 after scoring an impressive 186 in their innings.

A number of the Sunrisers' batters stood out in the clash, while almost forgotten Proteas speedster, Anrich Nortje, picked up a sizzling 4/13 in three overs to remind the national selectors of his abilities ahead of February's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
