SEC vs DSG Team Previews
Sunrisers Eastern Cape
The Sunrisers are by far the most consistent team this season. The team finished at the top of the points table and then went on to defeat the Super Giants in Qualifier 1 to reach their second consecutive finals.
It has been an all-round effort by the Sunrisers. The top and middle-order batsmen have stepped up at various stages of the tournament to help the team perform consistently well. Jordan Hermann is the leading run-scorer for them with 253 runs.
That said, Tristan Stubbs, Tom Abell, Dawid Malan, and Aiden Markram are all in good form, making the Sunrisers one of the most formidable batting line-ups. The bowling, particularly the seam attack, has been one of the highlights.
Ottneil Baartman is the leading wicket-taker of the season and has received good support from Marco Jansen and Daniel Worrall, who have 15 wickets each. Simon Harmer and Liam Dawson will lead the spin attack.

Durban Super Giants
The Durban Super Giants lost Qualifier 1 to the Sunrisers but came back strongly in Qualifier 2 to beat the Joburg Super Kings by 69 runs. They will now look to avenge the loss and register their maiden series win.
Heinrich Klaasen is in red-hot form with the bat and has scored 447 runs so far. He is among the top two run-getters of this season. His partnership with Wiaan Mulder, who himself scored a half-century, was instrumental in helping the team post a match-winning total.
Matthew Breetzke is another batsman to watch out for at the top of the order. The form of Quinton de Kock is a bit of a concern for the team. The Super Giants have a solid seam attack consisting of Naveen Ul-Haq, Reece Topley, Junior Dala, and Dwaine Pretorius.
Junior Dala is in particularly good form as he has picked up 13 wickets from just 4 matches. The spin attack will be led by Keshav Maharaj, who has 12 wickets against his name.

Pitch and Conditions
The Newlands Stadium usually offers a well-balanced pitch and we expect the same for this match as well. There is plenty of bounce and pace for the batsmen to work with, as the ball comes nicely onto the bat. The team batting first will look to post a total of around 180 to put the opposition under pressure.
That said, the quicker bowlers will get some swing and seam movement.
The pitch does slow down a bit in the second half. The weather is expected to remain clear with temperatures of around 20 degrees. There will be some breeze blowing through the ground, further helping the ball to swing.
