16:30 Local Time, 14:30 GMT, 20:00 IST: Greetings everyone! A warm welcome to the second game of the first double-header of the season. Two-time champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape take on the Paarl Royals, a team that has made it to the knockouts in all three seasons so far. There have been quite a few inclusions and exclusions since last season, with the most prominent being the release of the league’s most successful skipper, Aiden Markram, by Sunrisers. Tristan Stubbs has now been appointed captain, and whether he will feel the burden of the team’s rich legacy or take inspiration from the fact that he has played all three seasons with them is something we will find out over the course of the tournament. As for the Paarl Royals, David Miller is all set to lead the franchise for the fourth time in a row, and he will be hoping to break the knockout jinx this time around. There is plenty of exciting talent in both camps, and let’s hope we have a thrilling game on our hands. Toss and team details coming up shortly, stay tuned!
