Pretoria Capitals vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape, Final, SA20, 2025-26 - Player Highlights

Bryce Parsons to Stubbs, SIX, Sunrisers Eastern Cape are SA20 champions for the third time! It's their captain Tristan Stubbs who has produced a gem of a knock on the big stage when the game seemed to be slipping away. FInishes it off with back to back sixes in the final over, going down on one knee and sweeping it flat and hard to the square leg boundary. The Sunrisers go wild in celebration with the players charging in from the dugout towards the two batters. Stubbs is over the moon while Peters looks crestfallen. It was his over where the game turned decisively. Will be a tough pill to swallow but that's how the game goes. Capitals came so close but the trophy remains evasive. It's the Sunrisers who will get their hands on the big prize yet again
