Sunrisers Eastern Cape Team News & Playing 11
EAC Team News
We expect two English players to be selected in this opening game for Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Middle order batter Jordan Cox is a powerful stroke-maker who is not far from an international debut and spinner Mason Crane has a strong T20 Blast record.
EAC Key Players
- Aiden Markram - The skipper has a strike-rate of 132.67 in T20 cricket with the rate rising to 147.73 in IT20s. He is a great timer of the ball and will set an attacking example to his team-mates.
- Tristan Stubbs - The 22 year old keeper-batter has already shown off his skills in the IPL and the Men’s Hundred. He will have seen Dewald Brevis’ innings in Match 1 and be determined to produce a big score of his own.
- Marco Jansen - The left-arm pace bowling all-rounder will get carry and bounce on this wicket. He has excellent variations to trouble the batters alongside his natural angle.
