Joburg Super Kings Team News & Playing 11
JOH Team News
With only 15 overs bowled by the bowling unit and no overs batted by Joburg Super Kings on Friday, there should be no tired bodies in the squad. There is always a temptation to rest players but we expect the management to select the same XI in this match.
JOH Key Players
- Faf du Plessis- the right-handed South African opener hit 16 boundaries in his last innings on this pitch. He has now scored five T20 centuries.
- Maheesh Theekshana- the 22 year old Sri Lankan off-spinner produced a fine performance in the last game in Johannesburg. He took 3-30 and picked up the wicket of opener Kyle Mayers.
- Gerald Coetzee- the young right-arm pace bowler has always been thought of as a strong prospect but is now putting in consistent performances at the top level.
JOH Team Form
The Super Kings have lost only one of their last five matches across this tournament.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape Team News & Playing 11
EAC Team News
Only 5.2 overs were possible on Friday afternoon in Durban before the rain arrived but in that time the Sunrisers’ batters looked in fine form. The bowlers will have enjoyed not having to bowl one delivery and we would be surprised if there were any changes to the team.
EAC Key Players
- Aiden Markram- the right-handed skipper is not quite as explosive a player as some of his fellow internationals but he has the ability to time the ball better than most in this tournament.
- Adam Rossington- the opening batter was looking in excellent form before the poor weather arrived on Friday. He hit 35 not out from 18 balls and was set for a big score.
- Roelof van der Merwe- the 38 year old left-arm spin bowler is the only player to have taken a five-wicket haul in the SA20. The Netherlands international has a strike-rate of 9.8 from 23 overs.
EAC Team Form
Sunrisers Eastern Cape have not won either of their last two game and have won only two of their last five.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape Predicted Playing 11
Adam Rossington (wk), Temba Bavuma. Jordan Hermann, Aiden Markram (c), JJ Smuts, Tristan Stubbs, Marco Jansen, Sisanda Magala, Roelof van der Merwe, Brydon Carse, Ottniel Baartman
