Sunrisers Eastern Cape Team News & Playing 11
SUNE Team News
For the second time this season, Sunrisers Eastern Cape will arrive at a home fixture but this time they will be hoping for some play in front of their supporters. The players, particularly Temba Bavuma, will have benefited from additional rest ahead of this game.
SUNE Key Players
- Dawid Malan - The experienced left-hander has hit over 8600 T20 runs in his career and on a pitch which offers a bit more for the bowlers, his slightly slower approach could be crucial.
- Aiden Markram - The right-handed skipper may have to reign in his usual attacking instincts if the pitch is assisting the quicker bowlers. He still brings good form to this game.
- Simon Harmer - The right-arm off-spinner has taken over 150 T20 wickets. Although he may not get much turn from this pitch, he will bowl a tight line and length to keep the runs down.
- Marco Jansen - The tall left-arm bowling all-rounder will enjoy the state of the pitch for this game. He will look to bring the batters forward before taking the edge.
SUNE Team Form
Sunrisers Eastern Cape ended last season in excellent form and they also have individuals in strong recent performances in international cricket.

Temba Bavuma, Adam Rossington (wk), Dawid Malan, Aiden Markram (c), Jordan Hermann, Tristan Stubbs, Marco Jansen, Liam Dawson, Brydon Carse, Simon Harmer, Ottniel Baartman
Durban Super Giants Team News & Playing 11
DSG Team News
Keshav Maharaj’s side showed plenty of character in their opening game after they were able to still win after conceding over 200 runs with the ball. Reece Topley’s place will be secure for this game in spite of conceding 53 in Match 2.
DSG Key Players
- Heinrich Klaasen - The 32 year old South Africa international got off to a brilliant start to the tournament with the Player of the Match Award after striking eight sixes and four fours.
- Nicholas Pooran - The former West Indies white ball captain is a fine T20 batter and he came in at number six in the last game but we expect him higher up the order for this clash.
- Richard Gleeson - The tall right-arm pace bowler dismissed his fellow countryman Liam Livingstone against MI Cape Town and he should enjoy bowling on this pitch.
- Keemo Paul - The West Indies international bowling all-rounder picked up the key wickets of openers Rassie van der Dussen and Ryan Rickleton in the opening match.
DSG Team Form
In spite of conceding 207 from their 20 overs in the field, Durban Super Giants still had enough with the bat to win their opener.

🏆 Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Durban Super Giants Prediction
A Saturday evening fixture at St George’s Park should be a noisy affair in the crowd and we expect the action on the pitch to provide plenty of entertainment. The surface is likely to be a touch more bowler friendly than usual and that could give us a close and competitive fixture. There is not much to choose between the bowling attacks but Heinrich Klaasen’s batting form really is on a different level at the moment. As a result, we are backing Durban Super Giants to win.
