Pretoria Capitals vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape Preview

• Sunrisers Eastern Cape dropped three of their four games before winning the semi-final match.
• The Pretoria Capitals are arriving with a robust and reliable bowling attack.
• The batting lineup for the Sunrisers lacks many dependable guys and will be exposed against the Capitals.

 

Pretoria Capitals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape will face off in the first-ever SA20 championship game on Saturday at Wanderers Stadium. In the first semi-final, Capitals defeated Paarl Royals by 29 runs, while Sunrisers defeated Johannesburg Super Kings by 14 runs in the second semi-final. At 16:30 local time, Johannesburg time, the final begins.

In this contest, the Capitals, who won the group stage, are going for their third straight triumph overall. Therefore, they will be pretty sure they can defeat the Sunrisers and win the championship.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape put up a strong effort against Johannesburg Super Kings to advance to this final. If they want to win this game and take home the title, they must perform another outstanding performance.

Pretoria Capitals vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape Weather Report, Toss Prediction, and Pitch Report 

On the day of the game, there will likely be thunderstorms and a high of 19 degrees Celsius.

Even though both teams batted first and won their respective semi-final matches, we believe that if their respective teams win the toss before this final, the captains will opt to field first.

Here in Johannesburg, there is a batting cage. Although the most recent game ended in a scoreless match, historically, the pitch has been favourable for batters.
