Sunrisers Eastern Cape to face Joburg Super Kings in SA20 2025 season [Source: @SA20_League/X.com]

The big clash between Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Joburg Super Kings in SA20 2025 season is scheduled for January 24. The match will be held at St George's Park in Gqeberha starting from 9.00 PM IST.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape

After a horrific start to the season, Sunrisers Eastern Cape have regained steam with back-to-back victories. They hammered Pretoria Capitals in the previous game to secure a mega 52-run victory. In a low-scoring thriller, the Eastern Cape’s top order collapsed before Aiden Markram scored 68 off 55 balls to power his team to a decent total of 149 runs. 

Meanwhile, Marco Jansen wreaked havoc with a four-wicket-haul before Liam Dawson’s three-wicket-haul helped Sunrisers bowl out the Pretoria Capitals for 97 runs, thus sealing a 52-run win. With that victory, the Eastern Cape jumped to third on the table with 15 points in 6 games.

Joburg Super Kings

Despite a strong start to the tournament, Joburg Super Kings have fallen off the winning bandwagon. In the latest setback, they lost to Paarl Royals by 6 wickets in a shambolic performance. Jonny Bairstow slammed 60 off 40 balls but apart from Donovan Ferreira’s 32, no batter contributed to the cause as Joburg finished with 146/6. 

In the second inning, Van Buuren and David Miller stitched a 71-run partnership to power the Royals to a comfortable victory. Needless to say, the Joburg Super Kings have lost the plot as they slipped to fourth on the table with 10 points in 5 games. The upcoming match is a must-win contest for JSK to stay alive in the playoff race.

SEC vs JSK: Head to head in SA20

How will the St George's Park pitch behave?

The surface at the venue typically favours bowlers, especially in the early stages of the game, due to the presence of grass and moisture. Fast bowlers are expected to dominate with the new ball, extracting movement and bounce. Batters will need to be cautious and focus on building their innings before capitalising on loose deliveries.

Players to watch out for in SEC vs JSK Match 19

Sunrisers Eastern Cape

Marco Jansen: Jansen is leading the wicket-taking tally this season with 10 scalps in 6 games. His lethal and quick spells will help the Sunrisers neutralise Joburg’s heavyweight batting lineup.

Aiden Markram: The skipper has amassed 200 runs in 6 games this year and played a match-winning knock in the previous game. Hence, his inning will be key for Sunrisers to post a big total or chase one.

Richard Gleeson: Gleeson is another fine bowler to stand out for Sunrisers Eastern Cape. In 6 games, he has picked 9 wickets and has been economical for his team.

Joburg Super Kings

Jonny Bairstow: The Englishman has been top scorer for Joburg Super Kings with 143 runs in 5 games. He regained form in the previous game with a half century and his experience makes him a player to watch out for.

Leus du Plooy: The explosive top-order batter hasn’t adjusted well to his role at no.3. However, on his day, he can shake up any opposition and his intent makes him a player to watch out for.

Donovan Ferreira: The bowler has scalped 5 wickets this season for Joburg Super Kings. He has been effective with tight spells, which makes him a key for Joburg.
