DSG Vs SUNE: Team Previews
Durban Super Giants
Durban Super Giants have been a force to reckon with this SA20 season. They finished second on the points table, just a point behind the Eastern Cape. Regardless, their achievements and impeccable performance from both ends of the ball cannot be underscored.
Besides batting prowess, the Super Giants have largely benefitted from the consistency of the bowling unit. Noor Ahmed, Naveen Ul Haq, skipper Keshav Maharaj, and Reece Topley chipped in vital wickets at crucial junctures.
Having said that, ahead of the knockout stage, Durban Super Giants faced a massive blow as Marcus Stoinis departed due to national duties. Ashton Agar will replace him for the rest of the tournament.
Stoinis’ impact as an effective all-rounder is something the Super Giants will dearly miss in this upcoming crucial matchup.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape
Sunrisers Eastern Cape witnessed a major turnaround after a few initial setbacks in the tournament. Despite an experienced bowling lineup, skipper Aiden Markram made the most of the available resources.
Additionally, the likes of Dawid Malan, Tristan Stubbs, and the skipper himself stepped up with the willow to ensure a successful league stage run.
Since South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma opted out of the New Zealand Test series, he will be available for the Qualifier 1 for the Sunrisers.
Notably, the Eastern Cape is coming off a strong victory over Paarl Royals in its last league stage game. Thus, the momentum is on their side as they gear up to take on the formidable force of Durban Super Giants.

DSG Vs SUNE: Newlands Pitch Report
The Newlands pitch typically offers pace and bounce, favoring fast bowlers who can exploit the conditions to generate movement and extract bounce from the surface. Rain interruptions are expected at the venue. Thus, bowling first remains an ideal choice. Dew and moisture in the second half will aid the chasing side. Overall, anything around 180 should be a competitive total.
