Joburg Super Kings is the favorite to win this match.
Joburg Super Kings are at the bottom of the standings and Sunrisers Eastern Cape is in second place, but they have only won one fewer game than the top teams. As a result, there really isn’t much of a difference between the caliber and level of performance so far. With Faf du Plessis, Leus du Plooy, and Reeza Hendricks as their top three, we anticipate the Johannesburg Super Kings to post a strong batting total. Sunrisers Eastern Cape will likely put up a fight against them, but we believe the Joburg Super Kings will prevail.
