Entertainment galore in Centurion as Pretoria Capitals claim SA20 win over Sunrisers Eastern Cape

There was rich entertainment both on the field and on the grass banks at SuperSport Park on Saturday, where the Pretoria Capitals claimed a 37-run victory against the Sunrisers Eastern Cape.

It’s been less than a week since the first match in the Betway SA20 and already it appears to have captured the South African sporting public’s attention.

Over 10,000 fans strode through the gates on a blistering afternoon and between three new claimants for the sponsor’s “catch a million” competition — and a few others who injured themselves trying to stake a claim — nearly 400 runs were scored in 40 overs and more than enough fun was had.

As was the case when the two sides met in Gqeberha on Thursday it was an Englishman who dominated with the bat.

At St George’s Park it was Phil Salt, Saturday was the turn of Will Jacks to power the Capitals to a substantial total.
