After a shaky start to the season, the defending champs, Sunrisers, are looking in good form. I’m backing them to over the Super Kings.

Joburg Super Kings have lost 3 of their last 5 matches.
Joburg Super Kings’ Faf du Plessis scored 80+ runs 2 games ago.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape has won 5 of their last 7 matches.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape’s David Bedingham has scored 37+ runs in 3 of his last 4 matches.

Head to Head

These sides have met four times in the past with the Eastern Cape side winning on three occasions. Earlier this season the Sunrisers won the first game before the Super Kings won the second clash just two days later.

Joburg Super Kings Form

The Super Kings have endured a tough season, but they’ve done enough to get into the top four. They lost five and won four of their 10 games along with one no result.

While qualification was secured, the Super Kings will be disappointed with their 11-run DLS defeat in their last outing against the Durban Super Giants. The Super Giants batted first, scoring 173 runs in their allotted overs.

Rain then fell which reduced the target for the Super Kings to 147 in 16 overs. The Super Kings could only reach 135 despite a superb cameo by Donovan Ferreira who hit 51 off 22 balls.

The Super Kings changed a few things around in the last game which didn’t work. We will likely see Devon Conway back at the top of the order.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape Form

The two-time defending SA20 champions, Sunrisers Eastern Cape, lost their opening three games of the season, but bounced back superbly to finish third.

This is a side with experience and knowledge on how to win this tournament, so they will be dangerous moving forward. Last time out, the Sunrisers scored 148 runs against the Paarl Royals at home.

Jordan Hermann top scored with 53 runs while Tristan Stubbs found some form with 43 off 27 balls. Marco Jansen and Craig Overton then did the rest with the ball, taking three wickets each as the Royals crumbled to 100 all out.

The Sunrisers have struggled for runs this season. They won’t make many changes now, but they will hope some players can find some form.

Verdict

Joburg Super Kings v Sunrisers Eastern Cape

Sunrisers Eastern Cape are in better form heading into this clash and I fancy them to win. David Bedingham is backed to top score for them while Faf du Plessis can do the same for the Super Kings.
