The games are only getting better and better as we get to the next match with Sunrisers Eastern Cape having a go against Pretoria Capitals in the 3rd match of the SA20 that will take place at St George's Park, Gqeberha.

Aiden Markram will lead the Sunrisers, a side he plays for in the IPL and could be quite magnificent again this time. While the side possesses some of the best batters, there is enough quality in the bowling department too as the experience of Roelof van der Merve will be handy.

However, on the other hand, the Capitals have Anrich Nortje and Adil Rashid in their armoury along with skipper Wayne Parnell. The batting power of Rilee Rossouw and Cameron Delport cannot be ignored which makes them a formidable line-up.
