Weather: According to AccuWeather, the weather for the SA20 clash between Joburg Super Kings and Sunrisers Eastern Cape on January 26 is expected to be ideal for cricket. A high of 31°C is forecast, with temperatures peaking at 34°C under long sunny spells. There will be minimal cloud cover at 1% and chances of rain at 1% ensure uninterrupted play.

While fast bowlers may exploit some early movement with the new ball, the overall conditions are expected to favour batting. Spinners are unlikely to receive much assistance. Given that only one match has been played in this venue, which was marred by rain, the captain winning the toss may opt to bowl first to exploit early conditions.
