🏆 Joburg Super Kings vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape Prediction
The winner of this game will progress to Saturday’s first ever SA20 final at the Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. Sunrisers Eastern Cape will be looking to turn around their poor recent form but are up against a team who are themselves in excellent form. The bowling of Gerald Coetzee has been particularly impressive and we expect him to be too good again in this match. Our prediction is for Joburg Super Kings to win.
