Weather Disrupts SA20 Clash; Royals Secure Nail-Biting Victory

JSK vs Sunrisers Match Abandoned Due to Weather Conditions

The highly anticipated SA20 match between Joburg Super Kings and Sunrisers Eastern Cape was called off at Wanderers on Saturday, as reported in an official statement. Fans and players alike faced disappointment as they waited for the adverse weather to improve enough for the game to proceed.

As captains Faf du Plessis and Tristan Stubbs prepared for the toss, a lightning strike was followed by a hailstorm, causing nearly a three-hour delay. Eventually, the toss took place, with Du Plessis winning and opting to bowl in what was set to be a five-over match. However, just as excitement built in the crowd, lightning returned, leading the umpires to abandon the match.

Both teams were awarded two points, allowing the unbeaten Joburg Super Kings to maintain a three-point lead over the Sunrisers in the standings.

Pretorius' 98 Leads Royals to Thrilling One-Run Victory

In an earlier match, Lhuan-dre Pretorius shone with an unbeaten 98, guiding Paarl Royals to a dramatic one-run win against MI Cape Town in the Western Cape derby at Boland Park.
