Bairstow Smashes SA20 Record: 34 Runs in One Over!

Sunrisers Eastern Cape secured a resounding 10-wicket victory over Pretoria Capitals in the SA20, propelled by a spectacular unbeaten 85 from Jonny Bairstow. The English batsman's explosive innings included a record-breaking 34 runs scored in a single over against Keshav Maharaj. Bairstow's remarkable power-hitting, featuring six sixes and four fours in that over, electrified the match.

Bairstow, along with opening partner Quinton de Kock, who contributed a rapid 79 not out, formed an unassailable 177-run partnership. The formidable duo chased down Pretoria's target of 176 with ease, needing just 14.2 overs. Earlier, Sunrisers' bowler Anrich Nortje took 3-32, dismissing key batsmen and limiting Pretoria's scoring potential.

Despite a late surge from Sherfane Rutherford, who scored an unbeaten 47, Pretoria Capitals' total proved insufficient. This decisive win elevates Sunrisers Eastern Cape to the top of the SA20 standings with 17 points, while Pretoria Capitals now sit in fifth place.
