SA20, Qualifier 2, 2025: SEC vs PR: Captains’ Corner
Another good night. Like I said last night, we are in the right direction. I was quite happy with a sub-180b score at the halfway stage. Good to see the guys who weren’t firing firing. A big lift for the guys. Tony and Jordan will feel completely different guys. Johannesburg is generally a really good wicket. Let’s see.
Aiden Markram(SEC Captain) said post-match
Coming into the game with three losses… but it’s a new game and everyone was up for it. T20 cricket does go like that. SEC lost their first three games and pulled it back. I expected us to do the same tonight. We lost the last four games but really proud of the unit. We had some really outstanding performances. We had great team spirit. A sad situation to end like this but it is what it is. All the best to Sunrisers.
