Sunrisers Eastern Cape - Is Hat-trick Possible

It is not an easy task to win a T20 cricket league for three consecutive times. Sunrisers Eastern Cape will be motivated and in this section of the article, we dive deep into finding out the reasons why they can clinch the hat-trick.

1) Right Combination of Players

During the time of the draft, Sunrisers Eastern Cape went with the same old strategy and they came up with the same combination of players. They still have a ferocious bowling attack combining the top 3 bowlers from the last season. Marco Jansen, Ottneil Bartman, and Daniel Worrall. These three bowlers finished the league by being at the top of the charts and were the leading wicket-takers in the league.

On the batting front, Sunrisers Eastern Cape struggled to make it big in the previous edition. However, for 2025, they have shown trust in the same similar players but the management has worked hard on the middle order. It is an extra push for the team and that will ensure a good depth in the team.
 

2) Team Chemistry

The biggest advantage for Sunrisers Eastern Cape is their team chemistry. Since they have not made many changes in the squad and have shown trust on the same players, it generates trust between the management and the players. This will guarantee better communication and the players can do well on the ground while not getting insecure about their future with the team.

3) Strong Leadership

Sunrisers Eastern Cape will be under the leadership of Aiden Markram who is currently ranked third in the list of most matches as T20 captain for South Africa. His win percentage with the team stands at 46.15 which is just next to Faf du Plessis and Graham Smith. When it comes to the SA20 cricket league, he is at the top of the list with a 65.21% win percentage. He is an effective leader and without a doubt, his presence, as a leader will work wonders for the squad.
