Durban Super Giants to face Sunrisers Eastern Cape in SA20 2025 [Source: @SA20_League/X.com]

For the 11th fixture of the SA20 2025 season, Durban Super Giants is set to clash with Sunrisers Eastern Cape. The clash will be held on January 17 at the Kingsmead Stadium starting from 9.00 PM IST.

Durban Super Giants

The Durban Super Giants lost their previous fixture against the Joburg Super Kings by 28 runs. The latter had posted 169 runs on the board batting first. However, DSG’s middle order made a mess of the simple chase. Apart from Quinton de Kock’s half-century, nine batters were dismissed on single-digit scores. 

Matthew Breetzke and Wiann Mulder were disappointed big time as the Super Giants suffered their first loss of the season. The team is currently placed fifth on the points table and must buckle up to stay in contention for the playoff race.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape

Two-time SA20 League champions, Sunrisers Eastern Cape, are having a terrible season. They have lost all three games played and dropped to the bottom of the points table with an abysmal negative net run rate. In the previous contest, the Eastern Cape witnessed a humiliating batting collapse and got bowled out for 113 runs, out of which 51 runs were scored by Marco Jansen.

Pretoria Capitals wrapped the chase in 16 overs to humiliate the defending champions. After dominating the league for two seasons, the Eastern Cape finds itself in a deep mess. The upcoming game is a must-win contest to keep playoff hopes alive.

DSG vs SEC: Head-to-head in SA20

What to expect from Kingsmead pitch?

The Kingsmead stadium has been a decent scoring venue this SA20 season. Batters can capitalise against pacers as the pitch provides little assistance for swing or seam. However, spinners could play a crucial role, especially in the latter stages of the game, when the surface tends to grip and offer turn. Moreover, teams batting first would aim to post a massive total, while chasing sides will look to capitalise on the favourable batting conditions early on.

Players to watch out for DSG vs SEC Match 11

Durban Super Giants

Quinton de Kock: The South Africa veteran was a standout performer for Super Giants in the previous game. His experience and quick-hitting will help Durban while accelerating the scoring run rate.

Heinrich Klaasen: The explosive middle-order batter hasn’t fired as expected. However, Klaasen’s power-hitting cannot be underestimated and his exceptional talent makes him a player to watch out for.

Keshav Maharaj: The captain bowled an economical spell and picked up two wickets in the last game. Maharaj’s experience and deceptive variations will be crucial for Super Giants.

Chris Woakes: The fast bowler has picked up four wickets this SA20 season and can also bat decently. His all-round skills will be a key factor for Durban in the upcoming game.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape

Marco Jansen: Jansen has been the only consistent performer for Eastern Cape this year. He has scored 69 runs with 3 wickets in three games already. Hence, his all-rounder performance will be crucial for Sunrisers.

Aiden Markram: The captain holds the key to their middle order. If he fires, Sunrisers Eastern Cape can definitely aim for a big total, something they haven’t been able to do this season.

Richard Gleeson: Gleeson has picked up four wickets this year. He can pick wickets at crucial times and will lead the bowling attack in the upcoming contest.

Tristan Stubbs: Another powerful hitter, Stubbs can help Eastern Cape put quick runs on the board. If he manages to regain his form, Stubbs might end up being a match-winner for the defending champions.
