Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Paarl Royals, Qualifier 2, SA20, 2025-26 - Player Highlights

Nortje to Raza, no run, was there a nick on that? de Kock thinks so. Nortje looks interested as well. Sunrisers review for caught behind. No spike on UltraEdge though. Not out. Short ball that wobbles in late outside off, Raza looks to guide it fine and nearly fed a nick to the keeper. Nearly! No strong appeal, but de Kock went up and the bowler joined in with an air of uncertainity...

Nortje to Verreynne, 1 run, 146ks short ball angled in at the body, Verreynne swivels and controls the pull to fine leg

Nortje to Raza, 3 runs, not enough pace on this short ball. At 131ks and Raza stayed deep to cut it over backward point. Sweeper cover puts in a full length dive to his left to prevent the boundary

Nortje to Raza, no run, dug in short outside off at 146ks, Raza leaps up on his feet and fends it to backward point off the splice of the bat

Nortje to Raza, no run, short and well wide of off, Raza looks to carve it on the off-side and the extra bounce defeats him

Nortje to Verreynne, 1 run, short of length outside off, Verreynne opens the bat face and punches it down to sweeper cover

Nortje to Dan Lawrence, FOUR, seam up back of a length delivery on off, Lawrence stays on the back foot and heaves it with excellent timing in the gap through mid-wicket to his right

Nortje to Dan Lawrence, no run, short of length outside off, left alone to the keeper

Nortje to Rubin Hermann, out Caught by Sipamla!! That is an excellent catch from Sipamla. He had to wait for a long time under the ball whilst glaring at the sun. Never easy after you just finished bowling an over. He had none of that panic though. Settled under it with a reverse cup. 133ks skiddy short of length delivery on leg stump, Hermann sensed an opportunity for a maximum and played the help-me pull. Off the thick top-edge and Sipamla covered a few yards to his right at short fine. Rubin Hermann c Sipamla b Nortje 12(11) [4s-2]

Nortje to Verreynne, 1 run, 129ks good length just outside off, Verreynne pushes it gently to mid-off and hurries through for a quick single

Nortje to Verreynne, FOUR, poor lines from Nortje. Short of a length angled down leg, Verreynne flicks and gets it past the fielder at short fine to his left

Nortje to Verreynne, no run, short of length on middle and leg at 131ks, Verreynne hops and misses the flick. The ball skids across the deck and clonks Verreynne on the thigh pad
