Sunrisers Eastern Cape Form
The Sunrisers peaked at the right time last season, just in time for the playoffs. After beating the in-form Joburg Super Kings in the semi-final, with Sunrisers skipper Markram blitzing an unforgettable 100 off 58 balls, they went on to beat top-of-the-table Pretoria Capitals by four wickets in the final.
The Capitals were rolled for 135 with three balls in hand. Roelof van der Merwe was the destroyer-in-chief, nabbing figures of 4/31.
Adam Rossington got the chase off to a great start with 57 off 30 balls as Sunrisers raced to the win in the 17th over.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape Team News
Sunrisers have brought some exciting batting talent into their squad in the shape of T20 star Dawid Malan and all-rounder Liam Dawson, while Australian Daniel Worrall’s pace will be used to keep opposition batters on the back foot.
Joburg Super Kings Form
After winning their last four completed group matches in a row in the 2023 season, the Kings were rocked out of the tournament in the semi-final by a Sunrisers’ team that had bounced back from three losses out of four.
Sunrisers packed on a daunting 213/5 off their 20 overs, despite a superb performance with the ball by Lizaad Williams (4/36).
Reeza Hendricks smashed 96 off 54 balls as the Kings chased bravely, only to fall 14 runs short of their target after their 20 overs.
Joburg Super Kings Team News
The Kings are looking in good shape for a title challenge with a powerful batting line-up in the shape of Faf du Plessis, Reeza Hendricks, David Wiese, Donovan Ferreira, Leus du Plooy, Wayne Madsen and Moeen Ali. Their bowling line-up is well balanced between explosive pace and crafty spin and controlled medium pace - Nandre Burger, Gerald Coetzee, Romario Shepherd, Lizaad Williams, David Wiese, Sam Cook, Moeen Ali and the magical Imran Tahir.
Verdict
I am backing Sunrisers Eastern Cape to win. I am also backing Aiden Markram to top score for Sunrisers Eastern Cape.
Faf du Plessis is a good bet to top score for the Joburg Super Kings.
