Joburg Super KingsSunrisers Eastern CapeJoburg Super Kings started their SA20 campaign with a win but the team lost track and witnessed two consecutive losses after that. The players have shown inconsistency in the tournament and that has affected the overall outcome. Reeza Hendricks is struggling to give a good start to the team. Faf du Plessis has taken the right decision to open the innings for his team and things look positive after that decision. Bowlers are still struggling to break partnerships at an early stage.
The team management is expected to go with the same combination of players to bring changes in the outcome.
Predicted Lineup: Faf du Plessis (c), Reeza Hendricks, Neil Brand, Sibonelo Makhanya, Leus du Plooy, Donavon Ferreira (wk), Romario Shepherd, Aaron Phangiso, Gerald Coetzee, Alzarri Joseph, Maheesh Theekshana
Sunrisers Eastern Cape witnessed two consecutive losses against Pretoria Capitals at the beginning of SA20. However, the outcome has not affected the morale of the team and they have been on the winning track since then. Adam Rossington and Jordan Hermann have a solid equation as the opening pair. Skipper Aiden Markram handled the middle-order responsibility in a positive manner. Roelof van der Merwe is their star bowler and the team has high expectations from him.
