NEW DELHI: The Sunrisers Eastern Cape secured a commanding 58-run bonus point win against Durban’s Super Giants at Kingsmead, marking their return to form.
Following three consecutive losses, the defending champions were keen to revive their Season 3 campaign.<\/p>\n

After winning the toss, captain Aiden Markram<\/a>‘s decision to bat first proved successful as his team delivered an enhanced batting display.
Zak Crawley from England set the initial pace with 34 runs from 29 balls, while his compatriot Tom Abell contributed a vital 57 runs from 39 deliveries, including five boundaries.<\/p>\n

Noor Ahmad emerged as the Super Giants’ best bowler, securing impressive figures of 4\/24.
The Super Giants began well, with openers Bryce Parsons and Matthew Breetzke establishing a 40-run opening partnership.
Their progress was halted when a poor communication led to Parsons being run out for 23 runs from 21 balls.<\/p>\n

This proved to be a turning point, as left-arm spinner Liam Dawson effectively exploited the spin-friendly Kingsmead pitch.
Dawson demonstrated his skill by dismissing Kane Williamson<\/a> (3) and Breetzke (21), finishing with figures of 2\/18 in his four-over spell.
Simon Harmer supported well, claiming the crucial wicket of Season MVP Heinrich Klaasen<\/a> for just one run.
Despite some dropped catches, the Sunrisers’ bowling unit performed excellently, with Richard Gleeson and Ottneil Baartman each taking 2\/17, restricting the Super Giants to 107.
The teams will meet again at St George’s Park on Sunday. <\/div>\n
