Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) will face Pretoria Capitals (PC) in the 17th league stage match of the ongoing SA20 season. The high-voltage clash will be played at St George's Park in Gqeberha. 

Led by Aiden Markram, SEC have had a topsy-turvy journey in the SA20 2025, claiming the fourth position with two victories in five matches. On the other hand, Pretoria Capitals have been sub-par across departments, reeling at fifth place with a solitary win in as many attempts. 

So, considering we are inching closer to the halfway mark, both teams would like to pull up their socks before it's too late. Ahead of the much-awaited face-off, let's see how the surface at St George's Park in Gqeberha will behave throughout the contest.

St George's Park Gqeberha Pitch Report: Is It Batting Or Bowling Friendly

The average run rate of 6.86 in two SA20 2025 matches in Gqeberha suggests that its pitch hasn't been a great one for batting. The batters have found it tough to get going at this venue in the tournament. 

So, we reckon the pace and bounce of the pitch might not aid in stroke play, which is why the batters must take some time to adjust to the playing conditions before shifting gears. The fast bowlers, who bowl into the pitch, will likely be more effective than the other bowling types at this venue. Batting might get more difficult as the game progresses; so, the toss-winner will likely bat first. 

Players To Watch Out For At St George's Park Gqeberha

Marco Jansen

  • All-rounder Marco Jansen has been one of the most consistent performers for SEC with bat and ball. Apart from scoring 107 runs, the left-arm pacer has bagged six wickets at an economy of 7.00. 

Senuran Muthusamy

  • The left-arm spinner has starred with the ball for the Capitals, scalping five wickets in three matches at an impressive strike rate of 12. If the Capitals bowl second, Senuran Muthusamy can be a genuine threat to the Sunrisers' batting unit. 

Richard Gleeson

  • English pacer Richard Gleeson has been the most successful bowler in the SA20 this season, scalping eight wickets in five outings. He can trouble the Capitals with his razor-sharp bowling at this venue. 

P.S: Apart from these players the eyes will be on Tristan Stubbs, Ottniel Baartman, Daryn Dupavillon (if plays), Kyle Verrynne, Will Jacks and Jimmy Neesham.
