End of over. Over 20. 8 runs. Bowler: Kwena Maphaka. Sunrisers Eastern Cape: 175/5(rr 8.75)

Wicket. OUT! Caught. Kwena Maphaka to Marco Jansen. Leg cutter back of a length, to leg on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, caught by van Buuren. That's the end of the first innings, and the defending champions have shown significant improvement from their previous match, posting a competitive total. The skipper led by example, scoring a crucial fifty, while Stubbs proved tough to get past, offering valuable support. Mujeeb Ur Rahman was the standout bowler, taking two wickets for his side. Now, it's time to see if the Paarl Royals can chase down the total and secure their first win or if the defending champions can successfully defend their target. Stay tuned for the run chase!
