Pitch Report
The pitch at SuperSport Park provides a lot of assistance to fast bowlers. The pacers will get a good bounce and carry from the pitch. However, the outfield is lightning-quick, which means batters will get value for their shots.
Team Analysis
Sunrisers Eastern Cape
Despite JJ Smuts brilliant half-century, Sunrisers fell short of the target in their first match against the Capitals. The middle order couldn't contribute much to the game. The team will be hoping for a better show from the middle order, including skipper Aiden Markram, who fell cheaply in the last game. Sunrisers' star bowler Marco Jansen also disappointed in the first game as the pacer went for 31 runs in his 3 overs. However, despite the defeat, the management is likely to go with the same XI in this match as well.
