Superkings have been unbeaten in their last five games coming into the knockout stages. The team finished 2nd on the league table with six wins in 10 outings and will be confident going into the crucial encounter. Meanwhile, the Eastern Capes finished on 3rd place with 4 wins in 10 games. The Sunrisers have won just one game in their last five games.
In the previous two meets of both teams this season, Joburg emerged victorious comprehensively.
The pitch at Centurion has been great for batting, especially batting first, with over 200 runs scored in the first innings in the last two games. It would a run feast in the Semi-Final.
We might not have a full game on our hands with rain expected throughout the evening. Though batting first has been ideal at the centurion, we expect the teams to chase looking at the weather.
Faf Du Plessis, Reeza Hendricks, Leus du Plooy, Sibonelo Makhanya, Matthew Wade, Donavon Ferreria, Romario Shephard, Gerald Coetzee, Kyle Simmonds, Lizaad Williams, Maheesh Theekshana

Baartman might come into the squad for Sunrisers Eastern Capes as he impressed in the initial stages of the league. No other changes are expected.

Faf has been leading from the front with the bat. He is the highest run-scorer in the SA20 with 369 runs in 10 matches at an average of 46.12. Superkings captain need to continue his hot form if JSK are to reach the finals
Markram hasn’t had an outstanding tournament, with just 240 runs in 10 matches. However, has also chipped in with a few wickets which makes him a good player to have.
Du Plooy has been the second-best batter for JSK with 249 runs in just 8 matches at an average of 83. JSK are pretty much reliant on Leus and once again he would have to take things forward with his captain in the Semi-Final.
The 38 years old is getting younger by the day. Having scalped 14 wickets in just 8 games at an economy of 5.26. Merwe has been the go-to bowler for Capes.
Coetzee has been the find for JSK. The youngster has scalped 17 wickets in just 8 games and has bowled with some pace. Since Phangiso has been ruled out, Coetzee has taken up the responsibility of taking wickets regularly.
