RAIN WINS THE DAY AS SEASON 2 OPENER ABANDONED

The Betway SA20 Season 2 opening match between Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Joburg Super Kings has been abandoned without a ball being bowled due at St George's Park in Gqeberha.

Both teams were excited to kickstart their campaigns, but unfortunately could not take the field.

The Sunrisers faithful had come out in their numbers to support their team in the first home match since being crowned champions last year at the Wanderers.

They were certainly in a festive mood despite the consistent downpour with the legendary St George’s Park brass band keeping everyone entertained.

There was also a rocking performance from Grammy Award-winning Zakes Bantwini that kept the fans in good spirits.

With no play possible at all, the no result means both teams claim two log points today.

If less than 7 overs are bowled ticket holders are entitled to a refund.

The process of obtaining a refund depends on how the ticket was purchased. If purchased online through Ticketpro, a refund notice will be sent to the ticketholder with information as to the refund application process.
