Team Journeys
Sunrisers Eastern Cape
The Sunrisers Eastern Cape have played like the defending champions in the tournament. They won seven of their ten games while losing two, and one of their games was abandoned. The Sunrisers finished at the top of the table and faced the Super Giants in Qualifier 1. They defeated the Giants by 51 runs in the game and earned a direct qualification to the summit clash of the tournament.
It is now a chance for Aiden Markram and his men to defend their title and etch their names in the tournament's history as the winners of the first two seasons.
Durban's Super Giants
The Durban's Super Giants have performed in the lines of the Eastern Cape during the tournament. They, too, managed to win seven of their ten games, but due to three defeats and inability to pick up a couple of bonus points, the Super Giants were the second team after the league stage.
They made it to Qualifier 1 but lost the game against the Eastern Cape. But being in the top two, the Super Giants got a second chance to make it into the finale. They faced the winners of the Eliminator, the Super Kings, in the Qualifier 2.
Keshav Maharaj and his men quickly amended their ways and outplayed the Super Kings. They scored 211 while batting first and then restricted the Yellow Army to 142, winning the game by 69 runs. Now, the Super Giants face the Eastern Cape in the finale, with a chance of avenging their defeat in Qualifier 1.

SEC vs DSG, Final: Pitch Report
The wicket at Cape Town has been a balanced one. However, in the last game played here, the wicket favoured the bowlers in the second innings. But there will be runs on the wicket for the batters, and the bowlers who can use their variations aptly will also be successful.

SEC vs DSG, Final: Top Player Picks
Ottniel Baartman (SEC)
- SA20 2024 Stats: 16 Wickes in 7 Innings
- Ottniel Baartman has been the architect for most of the Eastern Cape wins in the tournament. He has been amongst the wickets on a regular basis and that makes him a very crucial pick for the fantasy contests of the match.
Marco Jansen (SEC)
- SA20 2024 Stats: 15 Wickets in 9 Innings
- Marco Jansen has been an brilliant with the ball in the tournament. Jansen can also be useful with the bat lower down the order. Keeping him in the fantasy XI might turn out to be a beneficial choice.
Matthew Breetzke (DSG)
- SA20 2024 Stats: 398 Runs in 12 Innings
- Breetzke started off the tournament on a great note with the bat. He set up the stage with his batting for the team. But in the last couple of matches he has not been in the best of forms and will be looking to deliver in the most important clash. His current off form might make fantasy players ignore him and hence Breetzke might be a great choice for the fantasy contests of the match.
Heinrich Klaasen (DSG)
- SA20 2024: 447 Runs in 12 Innings
- The South African middle-order batter has been in brilliant touch. Klaasen delivered in the Qualifier 2 and is in golden touch. His current form and the impact he has had so far in the tournament, makes Klaasen a must-pick for the fantasy contests of the match.
