Sunrisers Eastern Cape owner receives marriage proposal in game against Paarl Royals at SA20
The SA20 has been a wonderful tournament with high-quality and high-octane cricket being played. The 14th match took place between the Paarl Royals and the Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Eastern Cape won the toss and elected to bat. The Royals did not get off to the best of starts as they lost their openers Jason Roy and Jos Buttler early.
Wihan Lubbe came in at no. 3 and made 28 off 21 balls with two fours and one six. Corbin Bosch provided some support with 20 off 29 balls. After Lubbe fell to Brydon Carse the Royals were on 58-3, which put the brakes on the scoring. Later, when Eoin Morgan and David Miller got dismissed in quick succession at 62-4 and 81-5. This meant that the runs were not being scored freely.
When the Royals were 60-3, a funny incident happened, as Eastern Cape and Hyderabad franchise owner Kavya Maran received a marriage proposal from the stands. It was from a fan who was holding a placard that read ‘Kavya Maran, will you marry me?’
