SEC vs JSKS Match Prediction & Betting Tips - Jan 21, 2023
The Joburg Super Kings are just managing to hold on to the rest of the group through some tight-fought wins. They are at the bottom of the SA 20 2023 table with two wins from five matches. However, since the entire table is separated by just one win, there is enough time for the Joburg Super Kings to stage a comeback.
JSK is going to take on the Sunrisers Eastern Cape, a team on the rise with three wins on the trot and currently in second place in the standings. This improved form sees the Sunrisers Eastern Cape go into the match as the favorite to win at all the best cricket betting sites.
SEC vs JSKS Team Previews
Sunrisers Eastern Cape
Sunrisers Eastern Cape is playing brilliantly as a team and seems to have gotten better with every match that they have played. Marco Hansen and Aiden Markram get the most attention (deservingly) but Jordan Hermann, Tristan Stubbs, Sisanda Magala, and Roelof van der Merwe deserve some love as well.
There are still some areas where the Sunrisers need improving. Sarel Erwee is struggling in the top order and Adam Rossington has yet to play a big inning but as a whole, the team seems to be performing quite well.
We also think their bowling attack is making the most of its resources. Sisanda Magala has a happy knack for picking up wickets, Marco Jansen has been brilliant, and Aiden Markram is also bowling regularly to give the team a lot of flexibility.
The Sunrisers will go into this match as the favorites and believe they can win.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape Playing 11
Adam Rossington, Jordan Hermann, Sarel Erwee, Aiden Markram, Tristan Stubbs, Marco Jansen, RE Van Der Merwe, Brydon Carse, Sisanda Magala, James Fuller, JJ Smuts.
Joburg Super Kings
Joburg Super Kings suffered another poor batting display and this time there were no heroics to bail them out. Faf du Plessis scored 52 off 22 deliveries but was the only batter that crossed 20. Leus du Plooy got another start but could not go on. He is a batter that is clearly in good form and could certainly score some runs against the Sunrisers.
We think the Joburg Super Kings have no option but to make some changes to their batting lineup.
They have been the worst batting lineup of SA 20 2023 and we don't think they can be relied upon in current form.
The bowling lineup of the Joburg Super Kings has been better than the batting unit but also quite inconsistent. Alzarri Joseph and Aaron Phangiso are the pick of the bowlers but they have also been quite expensive on occasion.
Romario Shepherd, Lewis Gregory, Nandre Burger, and Gerald Coetzee all bowled in the previous match. This is not a poor bowling lineup but there are a number of bowlers that can be attacked.
Joburg Super Kings Playing 11
Reeza Hendricks, Faf du Plessis, Leus du Plooy, Donovan Ferreira, Maheesh Theekshana, Romario Shepherd, Gerald Coetzee, Alzarri Joseph, Sibonelo Makhanya, Aaron Phangiso, Neil Brand.

Pitch and Conditions
There is no rain predicted in Gqeberha and the sun should shine all throughout. The pitch at St. George's Park has been excellent for batting. Both matches played here have seen close to 350 runs being scored. More of the same could be in store and that is bad news for the Joburg Super Kings because they are struggling with their batting.
SEC vs JSKS Betting Tips
The Sunrisers Eastern Cape is picking up momentum at the right time in the tournament. Not only does it seem to have sorted its batting out but the bowling is also doing quite well. In contrast, the Joburg Super Kings have problems a plenty. Their batting is the worst in SA 20 and their bowling is also not very reliable.
Bet on Sunrisers Eastern Cape to win.
