Sunrisers Eastern Cape take on Joburg Super Kings in Match 17 of the SA20 in Gqeberha on Saturday evening. Eastern Cape lost their first two matches but are now up to second in the table.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape Team News & Playing 11
EAC Team News
Experienced pace bowler, Ayabulela Gqamane, came in for his first taste of the SA20 tournament in place of leading wicket taker Ottniel Baartman in Thursday’s game. After a rest in that match, we expect Baartman to come back into the team for this clash.
EAC Key Players
- Aiden Markram- the captain has been performing with bat and ball for his side so far in the tournament. He has taken five wickets and scored over 120 runs in his last four matches.
- Marco Jansen- the all-rounder has been in excellent form and is currently the leading run scorer for his side. He has taken three wickets and finished unbeaten in three innings so far in the SA20.
- Ottniel Baartman- the right-arm medium fast bowler has had an excellent start to the competition, performing particularly well at St George’s Park.
EAC Team Form
Sunrisers are on an excellent run of form and are targeting their fourth successive win of the tournament in this game.

Joburg Super Kings Team News & Playing 11
JOH Team News
Lewis Gregoy returned to the side with Nandre Burger getting his first appearance in the SA20 for Joburg Super Kings last game against Paarl Capitals in Johannesburg. The ineffective pair of Sibonelo Makhanya and Maheesh Theekshana were left out and we do not expect them to return in this match.
JOH Key Players
- Faf du Plessis- the skipper hit his first half-century of the tournament on Wednesday and has scored 79 runs from his last two innings.
- Gerald Coetzee- the express pace of the young right-arm bowler has caused problems in every game. He has taken four wickets and is yet to concede more than 31 runs from his four overs.
- Alzarri Joseph- the West Indian pace bowler had an off-day in the defeat to Paarl Capitals but has been a consistent performer for too long for there to be any worries over him in the Super Kings squad.
JOH Team Form
Joburg Super Kings won their opening match of the competition but have since lost three of their last four games.

Reeza Hendricks, Faf du Plessis (c), Leus du PLooy, Kyle Verreynne (wk), Lewis Gregory, Donovan Ferreira, Romario Shepherd, Gerald Coetzee, Alzarri Joseph, Aaron Phangiso, Nandre Burger

Who will win Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Joburg Super Kings T20 Match?
There is no doubting the talent of Sunrisers Eastern Cape, but they have relied upon lower order runs in recent games and the bowling attack of Joburg Super Kings may well be able to take advantage of this.
🏆 Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Joburg Super Kings Prediction
Although Sunrisers Eastern Cape are in second place in the table and Joburg Super Kings are bottom, the Super Kings have won only one game less than the teams at the top. Therefore, there really is not a great deal of difference in the quality and level of performances seen so far. With a top three of Faf du Plessis, Leus du Plooy and Reeza Hendricks, we expect Joburg Super Kings to produce an excellent batting total. We predict that Sunrisers Eastern Cape will push them hard but we are backing Joburg Super Kings to win.
