T20

St George's Park Cricket Ground

The second season of the SA20 is here. Defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape will take on Joburg Super Kings at the St George's Park, Gqeberha, on January 10, 2024 (Wednesday), at 9:00 PM IST. Sunrisers Eastern Cape, led by Aiden Markram, had a splendid season last time around and they will be eager to continue the trend from the Game 1 onwards.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Joburg Super Kings Chance of Winning

Sunrisers Eastern Cape won the inaugural edition of the SA20 competition, getting the better of table-toppers Pretoria Capitals by four wickets in the final. This year, they once again have an imposing look with Aiden Markram, Marco Jansen, Tristan Stubbs, Craig Overton, and Dawid Malan manning the squad. That’s too good of an association for them to let down anyone.

On the other hand, Joburg Super Kings aren’t too far behind either. With Faf du Plessis leading the squad, the Super Kings have the likes of Gerald Coetzee, Moeen Ali, Reeza Hendricks, Lizaad Williams, and Nandre Burger in their line-up. While the pedigree factor definitely lay there, the JSK management, by virtue of being a subsidiary of Chennai Super Kings group, know how to navigate through that.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Joburg Super Kings Betting Tips

Well, if it’s a T20 match, it is extremely hard not to go crazy about Faf du Plessis. Over the years, the former South African skipper has created a pattern of sorts to do well in matches that many believe was out of reach. Further, Burger has done really well against India and seems eager to deliver in the SA20 as well. I am also banking Sunrisers skipper Aiden Markram to deliver for his franchise, knowing the kind of season he had last time around plus the Cape Town century that seemed otherworldly.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Joburg Super Kings Match Toss Prediction

Since January 2020, the St Georges Park in Gqeberha has hosted 38 T20 matches, with the batting first team winning 18 games.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape Team Form

There is no question about Sunrisers Eastern Cape’s form in the competition, having won the tournament comprehensively last time around. But look deeper, there’s so much to unearth. The Markram-led side could only manage four wins from 10 games to finish with 19 points and could only make it to the next stage thanks to their superior net run rate of +0.316.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Sunrisers Eastern Cape

Even though SREC have the woods over other teams, JSK seem favorite to win the contest thanks to a great deal of in-form players. Nandre Burger seems to be in very good form as does Faf du Plessis, who has a distinct niche of batting well in T20s. The likes of Moeen Ali and Reeza Hendricks provide very good support up top, ensuring things float in a positive direction.

SREC to win @ 1.88 (Parimatch)

JSK to win @ 1.93 (Parimatch)
