Sunrisers Eastern Cape extended their winning run to four games to move to second place on the points table. This is an incredible turnaround by the defending champions after losing their first three games. They got the better of Joburg Super Kings in Gqeberha by 14 runs.

Aiden Markram (Sunrisers Eastern Cape Captain): "I mean, more often than not, it is about the executions from the bowlers. They are pretty clear with their plans. They have played a lot of T20 cricket and they bowl according to the conditions. Full credit to them as they have been clutch for us in pressure situations.
Yeah it is huge for us. It can be a tough place to score freely. We work really hard when it comes to running between the wickets. You might get into a tight game and it might be the difference. The boys try to push each other and you can see how much it means to them.
I suppose each team really wants to win the title. We have an experienced bunch of players. You have got a target on your back. Slightly but surely, throughout this competition, we are starting to play some good cricket.
(On the Atmosphere) Ah, the best. The crowd has been epic for us. Full house yet again tonight and they have been so loud. They have been there for us through thick and thin."

Faf du Plessis (Joburg Super Kings Captain): "I think they have a strong batting line-up. Ideally 5 runs less, but 160, it felt like a good score. They bowled well. I was surprised with the movement. We got into a position to take the game on but in the middle period we lacked intensity. They have a quality bowling.
I felt there was a period where Devon and Leus were going strong. They kept us in the game, we wanted to take the attack but then lost a few wickets.
(On facing Sunrisers again in a few days) Obviously, home conditions, these guys did well at home. Last year, we got on a bit of a run at home but we have to make sure we are up for it as these are guys are playing fine cricket at the moment."

Marco Jansen (Player of the Match): "Absolutely, there is no better crowd than this one in the country and it feels so good to win a game in front of them. We definitely feel their presence.
Yeah, I didn't pull much of a trigger to be honest with the bat. Stubbo batted brilliantly. For us, I think it was to take it deep. When there was 4 overs left, we pulled the trigger. Stubbo played a brilliant knock.
Gleeson was fantastic yet again. He swings the ball and nips it back in as well. I think we bowled nice lines and lengths. It worked out for us tonight.
You need to assess the wicket. Today it was just to bowl hard length for as long as possible. There was a bit of variance in bounce. It was difficult for the batters to play.
We will take one game at a time."
