The 11th match of SA20 2025 saw Durban Super Giants taking on defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape at Kingsmead, Durban. After winning the toss, Sunrisers chose to bat first, but young Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad turned the game around with his magical bowling.

Noor Ahmad’s Dream Over

The match was evenly poised until the 10th over, when Noor Ahmad bowled a brilliant delivery to dismiss Zak Crawley, who was looking well-set on 38 off 29 balls. Crawley misjudged a turning ball that sneaked through the gap between bat and pad to crash into the stumps.

On the very next ball, Noor dismissed Sunrisers captain Aiden Markram for a golden duck. A sharply turning delivery trapped Markram in front of the stumps, and a review confirmed three reds on ball-tracking. This double blow left Sunrisers struggling at 75 for 3.

Noor returned in the 12th over to dismiss Jordan Hermann for just 6 runs. Another sharp turner struck Hermann on the pads, and the umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger.

Match Situation

After 14 overs, Sunrisers Eastern Cape were 106 for 4. Tom Abell stood firm with 45 runs off 30 balls, while Marco Jansen remained unbeaten on 5. Noor Ahmad was the star performer with figures of 3 overs, 14 runs, and 3 wickets.
