DSG vs SEC T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Qualifier SA20 2024
The first play-off game of the 2024 SA20 tournament gets underway on Tuesday afternoon with Durban's Super Giants and Sunrisers Eastern Cape going head to head in the Qualifier 1. The Super Giants finished in second place with 32 points in the group stage with Sunrisers topping the table on 33 points. Read on as we preview this game. This match gets underway at Newlands at 17:30 local time.
Durban's Super Giants had an excellent group stage and they will not be too worried about their defeat against Paarl Royals which concluded the first stage. Although they know they are up against a tough team, they will fancy their chances of qualifying for the final.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape were rightly the top team in the group stage as they only lost two matches and won seven of their last eight matches. They also came through a tight fixture with Paarl Royals in their last game so will be full of self belief in this fixture.
