SEC vs JSK: Preview

SunRisers Eastern Cape

Two-time champions SunRisers Eastern Cape, led by Aiden Markram, have been toiling hard after facing three consecutive losses in the first three games. Ever since that, they have not looked behind with three bonus points to turn their campaign around, courtesy of inspirational leadership and top-class performances. At the moment, they are third on the table with 15 points from six games while having three wins under their belt.

From the individual perspective, Markram played a handsome 68* run knock in a challenging situation to pull them back in the game while bowlers, especially Marco Jansen (4/13), rocked the Pretoria batters to bowl them out for a paltry 97.

Joburg Super Kings

Faf du Plessis' Joburg Super Kings have had a decent start to the competition but lost their way out in the middle with two straight losses in the last two encounters. While one of their games was washed out due to rain, Joburg are now on fourth position with 10 points, as they have two wins in as many matches. Du Plessis' personal form isn't what he would have liked it to be, as he has only managed one half-century so far in this edition of SA20.

Meanwhile, Jonny Bairstow is a major positive for Super Kings with a 60-run knock in the last game against Paarl when other batters were mostly struggling. Imran Tahir's form has lifted this side up often, while Donovan Ferreira is doing his best in every department.

SEC vs JSK: Weather and Pitch Report

Weather

Weather in Gqeberha on Friday is encouraging, with sunny skies and no chance of rain, according to the forecast. Precipitation shows 0% throughout the day, which means clear weather. The temperature is expected to be between 26 to 20 degrees celsius while humidity will stay around 75%. The match is likely to go on without any interference.

Pitch

Talking about the pitch in St George's Park in Gqeberha, this venue favours bowlers more than batters, with pacers having the upper hand. There is extra pace and bounce in this wicket, which won't be very helpful for the batters as run-scoring is difficult. Batters usually find it challenging here, with those spending time in the middle getting rewards. Spinners, meanwhile, do get some purchase from the surface. The average first innings score here is 145, suggesting the nature of the track. Team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first here since batting in the second half gets tougher.

SEC vs JSK: Probable Playing XI

SunRisers Eastern Cape: David Bedingham, Zak Crawley, Tom Abell, Jordan Hermann, Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs (wk), Marco Jansen, Liam Dawson, Simon Harmer, Ottneil Baartman, Richard Gleeson

Joburg Super Kings: Devon Conway, Faf du Plessis (c), Leus du Plooy, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Moeen Ali, Donovan Ferreira, David Wiese, Tabraiz Shamsi, Imran Tahir, Lutho Sipamla, Hardus Viljoen

SEC vs JSK: Fantasy Cricket Tips

Looking at the conditions, Marco Jansen is a must-pick alongside Aiden Markram from the SEC camp. Liam Dawson, Ottneil Baartman and Richard Gleeson have bowled well so far, which makes them great options.

From the JSK side, Jonny Bairstow is in good form, while Donovan Ferreira has made an impact with both bat and ball. Imran Tahir and Hardus Viljoen bowled suitable lengths in the last game, whereas skipper Faf du Plessis can also be considered for his experience.

SEC vs JSK: Winner Prediction

With conditions favouring pacers more than batters, the side having a better bowling attack will win. In this case, SunRisers Eastern Cape looks ahead with everyone firing for them with the ball.
