SEC vs JSK Team Previews

Sunrisers Eastern Cape

Captain Aiden Markram will take the leadership role on his shoulders. He is a handy off-spin bowler to add to his brute force with the bat. The skipper played a pivotal role in his team’s win over Pretoria Capitals with 68 runs unbeaten in Gqeberha.

Zak Crawley and David Bedingham form a solid opening pair to get the Sunrisers going. Kent’s Crawley has almost 2000 T20 runs. Tom Abell and Jordan Hermann add depth to the batting with their ability to soak up pressure and dictate the pace of the game.

Abell has 429 SA20 runs with four scores of 50-plus. Tristan Stubbs will act as the wicketkeeper, but is largely known for his role as a game-changing middle-order batter.

Marco Jansen’s towering presence may be symbolic for being a giant part of this team with bat and ball. The left-arm fast bowler was impossible to face in his previous game with bowling figures of four for 13 in four overs. The experienced spin duo of Liam Dawson and Simon Harmer will maintain a constant wicket-taking threat after the powerplay. Dawson picked up three key wickets against the Capitals.

The pace attack is lead by Protea Ottneil Baartman and overseas player Richard Gleeson. The pair of pace bowlers will control the game with their accuracy. Gleeson has seven wickets in his last four SA20 matches.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape Expected Playing 11

Joburg Super Kings

Opening the batting will be Devon Conway with his sharp stroke play and captain Faf du Plessis with his aggressive leadership. Conway has more than 6000 T20 runs in his illustrious career. The middle order is brimming with firepower, spearheaded by Leus du Plooy and wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow. Yorkshireman Bairstow belted 60 runs in Paarl.

Englishman Moeen Ali brings a dynamic all-round option as a utility batter and clever right-arm off-spinner. Sibonelo Makhanya and Donovan Ferreira offer depth to the batting lineup. Makhanya has four T20 half-centuries. Ferreira is an accomplished finisher with the bat.

He hit 32 runs not out off 19 balls against the Royals to give the impetus that the team needed.

In the bowling department, veterans Imran Tahir and Tabraiz Shamsi form a potent spin duo with the ability to turn the ball both ways. 45-year-old Tahir has ten four-wicket hauls and four five-wicket hauls in T20s.

Hardus Viljoen and Lutho Sipamla provide pace giving their bowling attack a cutting edge. Viljoen took two wickets in his previous game.

SEC vs JSK Toss Prediction

The tourists have lost both of their previous two SA20 matches when batting first. They could be looking to bat second. The Sunrisers also might not hesitate to chase if they win the toss.

Pitch and Conditions

The St George’s Park in Gqeberha should offer an exciting balance between bat and ball. The seam bowlers will be in the game for the first six overs with a brand-new white ball in hand. The batters will need to assess the situation to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

The spinners may be able to produce wickets on a slowish surface. The Sunrisers Eastern Cape chased a target of 116 inside the 16th over against the Durban’s Super Giants at Gqeberha. A first-innings score exceeding 160 runs will be much more exciting.

Gqeberha will experience partly cloudy, but extremely hot and humid conditions during the match. There is a ten percent chance of rain on Friday.
