Defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) will host MI Cape Town (MICT) in the opening match of the SA20 2025 season on Thursday, January 9. The action is slated to commence from 9:00 PM IST onwards at the St George's Park Cricket Ground in Gqeberha.

The Sunrisers Eastern Cape will enter the SA20 2025 season as defending champions. Under the leadership of Aiden Markram, the Easter Cape won each of the preceding two editions of the tournament. The MI Cape Town, on the other hand, secured the unwanted wooden-spooners tag in both editions of SA20 so far. Last year alone, the MI Cape Town incurred seven defeats from 10 league games.

Top 3 Captain and Vice-Captain Choices For SEC vs MICT

3. Aiden Markam

Why Aiden Markram Will Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Prolific SA20 record: Aiden Markram holds a prolific batting record in SA20 matches. In the 23 matches he has played in the tournament; the charismatic right-handed batter has scored 627 runs at a healthy average of 33 and with a strike rate of 132.

Experienced T20 campaigner: A veteran of 171 T20 matches, including 57 internationals, Aiden Markram has hauled over 4,000 runs in his career with an average of 30.33. Markram can also bowl some tight overs during the middle stages of the innings.

2. Rashid Khan

Why Rashid Khan Will Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Recent form: Rashid Khan recently troubled Zimbabwean batters across all formats during Afghanistan’s away series. In his latest outing, Khan picked up an 11-wicket haul in the Bulawayo Test, and finished Afghanistan’s three-match T20I series with nine wickets last month.

One of the greats of T20 cricket: Rashid Khan is the second most successful bowler in the history of T20 cricket behind Dwayne Bravo. With a collection of 622 wickets from 451 matches, the legendary Afghanistan all-rounder is also the most successful spin bowler in the shortest format of the game.

1. Marco Jansen

Why Marco Jansen Will Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Ideal for the playing conditions: Marco Jansen’s pace will place the Sunrisers Eastern Cape in good stead on the playing conditions of the St George’s Park. Moreover, the lanky South African speedster is also in good nick with the ball at the moment.

Slog-overs hitter: Marco Jansen can also make his presence felt with the bat by going big in the slog overs. An ideal fast bowling all-rounder for any T20 team, Jansen holds a batting strike rate of 145.24 in the format.
