Aiden Markram (46) and JJ Smuts (28) kept the Sunrisers in the game but regular wickets proved their undoing.
Jansen’s 36-run cameo (two fours and three sixes) provided some excitement at the backend of the innings, but it was not enough as they suffered a second defeat to the Capitals in three days.
