Eastern Storm started the season with 2 wins in two games and are sitting pretty at the top of the table. Their first match against Northern Cape was a nail-biter. It was the first match of the CSA T20 Knock-Out Competition 2024. And what a start it was.
In that game, Eastern Storm scored 171, batting first against Northern Cape. Christopher Britz top-scored with 82 of just 53 deliveries (Six 4s and three 6s), followed by 56 from captain Grant Thomson. The Northern Cape were on target most of the game and should have closed the game out. But an economical spell from Amaan Khan saw them home. He conceded 15 runs in 4 overs when the asking rate was over 8.5 runs per over. Amaan Khan also took two crucial wickets in the closing stages. Eastern Storm eventually won by 1 run.
The second game against South Western Districts was an easy win by 3 wickets with 9 balls to spare. Chasing 166, Eastern Storm opening pair of Kabelo Sekhukhune (84 runs from 55 balls) and Christopher Britz (35 off 25 balls) added 133 for the first wickets in the 12th over. However, once these two got out, Eastern Storm lost a flurry of wickets. However, the damage done by opening pair was enough to help Eastern Storm get over the line. They will be looking for their 3 consecutive win this season against Mpumalanga Rhinos.

Mpumalanga Rhinos played two matches so far. The first one was abandoned without a ball bowled while they lost the second one to Northern Cape. With 0 points so far and an NRR of -0.900, Mpumalanga Rhinos are in the 6th position in the points table.
Their first game against South Western Districts was a washout. In the next game, they were up against Northern Cape. Losing the toss and bowling first, Mpumalanga Rhinos conceded 204 to Northern Cape in 20 overs. Barring Nonelela Yikha, the other five bowlers went for more than 9 runs per over. Something they would like to rectify in this game against Eastern Storm.
Chasing a big target, captain Muhammed Mayet tried to give them a quick start, but Mpumalanga Rhinos kept losing wickets at the other end. Mayet had a good partnership of 93 runs in 49 balls with Jurie Snyman for the third wicket. The target looked reachable, but once Mayet got out for 76 runs ( Six 6s and five 4s), the rest crumbled under the pressure of the asking rate. Mpumalanga Rhinos eventually lost by 18 runs. They would hope for a better bowling performance against Eastern Storm to their first win on the season.
Key players: Muhammed Mayet, Jurie Snyman, Gareth Dukes
