Joburg Super Kings vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape Preview
- The Joburg Super Kings have won both matches at this location, therefore the players are familiar with the environment.
- The top order of Sunrisers Eastern Cape hasn’t been reliable, which is a huge concern for the team going into this game.
- Faf du Plessis, the captain of the Joburg Super Kings, has scored 277 runs in the competition and appears to be in great shape.
On Sunday afternoon, Joburg Super Kings and Sunrisers Eastern Cape will face off in game 27 of the SA20 at The Wanderers Stadium. The Super Kings are in fourth place with 18 points, and Eastern Cape is in second with 19 points, therefore there is only one point separating the clubs.

If their game on Friday hadn’t been called off due to weather, the Joburg Super Kings might have climbed into second position. Even though it will be a very difficult encounter, they have enough match-winners to succeed.

Joburg Super Kings vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape Weather Report, Toss Prediction, and Pitch Report
During the game’s scheduled hours, Johannesburg will see phases of partly overcast and sunny weather. The prediction calls for a maximum temperature of 24 degrees.
The team that won the toss has decided to field first in each of the three matches played at Wanderers Stadium. If either captain wins the toss on Sunday, we believe they will both choose to field first.
This pitch provides lots of pace and bounce, as we have come to expect. Any total above 190 will be challenging to defend, but the team batting second will believe they can accomplish it.
Joburg Super Kings Team News & Probable Playing XIs
There shouldn’t be any scratched players in the team because the bowling unit only bowled 15 overs and Joburg Super Kings didn’t bat any overs on Friday. Although it is tempting to rest players, we anticipate that management will use the same starting lineup for this game.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape Team News & Probable Playing XIs
Before the rain came on Friday in Durban, only 5.2 overs could be bowled, but at that time the Sunrisers’ batters appeared to be in excellent form. We would be shocked if there were any changes to the team, and the bowlers will have appreciated not having to bowl a single delivery.
