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

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]
