Analysis:
Sunrisers Eastern Cape
The Aiden Markram-led side has emerged as one of the best teams in the tournament so far. The Sunrisers are placed second in the table after three straight wins. The Sunrisers have a young squad with Marco Jansen taking a bulk of the responsibility in both departments. Like Jensen, Eastern Cape also has other exciting young South African players like Tristan Stubbs and JT Smuts, who put up great performances.

Joburg Super Kings
Unlike the Sunrisers, Joburg has had a disappointing start to their season. The Super Kings are placed at the bottom of the table with just two wins from five games. Barring the first game, Faf du Plessis-led side hasn’t performed well with the bat which has been a major reason behind their defeats. Whereas their bowlers have managed to put up some decent performances with Aaron Phangiso, Alzarri Joseph and Gerald Coetzee leading the charge.
