SA20 2024 Match 30, SEC vs PR: Team Previews

Sunrisers Eastern Cape

Sunrisers Eastern Cape justified their defending champions tag by securing six wins out of their eight completed league fixtures of the SA20 2024 season. Under Aiden Markram, the South African-based ‘Orange Army’ will head into the contest off the back of three successive victories, including one against Paarl Royals at the latter’s home ground a couple of nights ago.

As of now, the Eastern Cape is fuelled by the splendid batting form of Tom Abell, Tristan Stubbs and Jordan Hermann. However, captain Markram’s own touch with the bat has been an area of concern for the franchise since the last couple of weeks. In the bowling department, Australian import Daniel Worrall continues to lead the wicket-takers tally and he is ably assisted by the all-round brilliance from Marco Jansen.

Paarl Royals

With five wins and four defeats to their credit, Paarl Royals is placed at number three on the six-team SA20 2024 points table. While their place in the playoffs is already confirmed, a win over defending champions at this stage will enhance their confidence and snap their newfound losing streak prior to the final leg of the tournament.

At one stage of the season, the Royals were placed at the top of the table by securing five wins out of their first six fixtures. However, they lost each of their subsequent three games to slip to number three. Apart from Jos Buttler, and at times Mitchell Van Buuren, no other Royals batter have put up a consistent show this season while Obed McCoy’s expensive economy and dwindling form has left Lungi Ngidi to helm his side’s fast bowling attack.

SA20 2024 Match 30, SEC vs PR: Gqeberha Pitch Report

The conditions at Gqeberha’s St George’s Park Cricket Ground have provided much assistance to the batters off late, with Pretoria Capitals’ mere 52-run effort in one of the games this season marking the only occasion of a batting collapse at the venue. The average first innings total here after three completed SA20 2024 fixtures has emerged in the range of mid-150s. Considering the recent results, the captain winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.
