The game is just getting started in the SA20 2025, where Joburg Super Kings (JSK) are all set to take revenge on the SunRisers Eastern Cape (SEC) at the Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg, in Match 22 to be played from 7 PM IST on 26th January, Sunday. This will be the reverse fixture after the encounter on Friday, where SEC emerged victorious by 14 runs.

Joburg Super Kings

After an impressive start, the Joburg Super Kings have been derailed by a series of injuries that have negatively impacted their SA20 campaign, resulting in three straight losses. They opened with two victories but were unable to secure a third win when rain interrupted their plans. With six matches completed, the Super Kings have accumulated 10 points, consisting of two wins and three losses, positioning them fourth in the league table.

Faf du Plessis, the skipper, is getting off to promising starts but is struggling to convert these into significant totals. Jonny Bairstow has fought valiantly in two difficult situations, while Devon Conway contributed a valuable 43 runs from 40 balls in the last match against the SunRisers. The bowling unit has not performed poorly, with Lutho Sipamla and Hardus Viljoen each taking one wicket, while Evan Jones bagged two. Leg-spinner Imran Tahir has been decent with his economy and lengths.

SunRisers Eastern Cape

Conversely, the SunRisers Eastern Cape, who have claimed the SA20 title twice in a row, have showcased brilliant tactics and class under Aiden Markram after facing challenges early in the tournament. Marco Jansen has been a key figure for Eastern Cape, displaying exceptional bowling performance during both the powerplay and the death overs. Their campaign has seen a revival, with significant contributions from every bowler and most of their batting lineup.

In their match against the Super Kings, they managed to score 165 runs, highlighted by David Bedingham's 37 runs off 34 balls, Aiden Markram's determined 43 from 29 balls, and Tristan Stubbs' quickfire 35 not out from 22 deliveries. Their bowling performance was equally commendable, with the pace trio of Jansen (2 wickets for 19 runs), Richard Gleeson (2 for 37), and Ottneil Baartman (2 for 32) making significant contributions.
