JSKS vs SEC Team Previews
Joburg Super Kings
The Joburg Super Kings have been rather inconsistent this season. With just 2 wins in 8 matches, the team is placed 4th on the points table. However, with just 2 matches to go and the Pretoria Capitals as well as MI Cape Town close on its heels, the Super Kings will need to treat both these matches as virtual knockouts.
Looking at the positive side, the Super Kings are coming into this contest on the back of a massive 10-wicket win over Cape Town that not only gave them a bonus point but also improved their NRR. Faf du Plessis, who was seen struggling for most of this season, came back strongly to score an unbeaten half-century in just 20 deliveries.
He, along with Reeza Hendricks will look to give the team a strong start. Leus du Plooy is in fine form in the middle order and is also the leading run-getter for the team with 224 runs. However, the others in lower down the order have been rather inconsistent. The Super Kings will need the likes of Moeen Ali, David Weise, and Donovan Ferreira to play better with the bat.
Coming to the bowling, Lizaad Williams is among the top 3 wicket-takers of the season with 11 wickets. The other bowlers will need to be more disciplined as Nandre Burger has picked up just 5 wickets, while Moeen Ali has 4. Imran Tahir bowled a good spell in the last match and will lead the spin attack.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape
The Sunrisers Eastern Cape have played well over the last couple of weeks, winning 4 of their last 5 fixtures. They trail the 2nd placed Paarl Royals by 3 points and with 3 more matches to play, the Sunrisers will be gunning for a top 2 finish.
The opening pair of Jordan Hermann and Dawid Malan has been a bit inconsistent so far and the team will need a strong start from them. The team’s biggest strength however lies in its middle order. Tristan Stubbs is the leading run-scorer for the team with 190 runs.
He has scored 2 half-centuries in his 5 innings so far. Skipper Aiden Markram and Tom Abell will be the other two key players for the team in the middle order. The duo scored individual half-centuries in the last match and looked in fine touch.
The quicksters, Daniel Worrall and Ottneil Baartman have done an excellent job with the ball, picking up 10 wickets each. They have been well supported by Marco Jansen, who has 7 against his name. The spinners however have struggled a bit.

Bonus Cricket Bets
2 of the 3 matches played at the Wanderers have seen 13 or more wickets fall in them. As both teams, particularly the Sunrisers have a strong bowling attack, we are expecting plenty of wickets to fall.
As both teams have some clean strikers of the ball, who are batting on a flat surface, we can expect at least one high-scoring over in this match.
Tom Abell is in good form this season. He has scored 157 runs at an average of 52.33 and has scored at least 22 runs in 3 of his last 4 innings this season. We are therefore backing him to play another good inning.
