Sunrisers Eastern Cape will host Durban’s Super Giants in the nineteenth match of the ongoing SA20 League at St George’s Park in Port Elizabeth.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape had a poor start to their campaign, losing each of their first two fixtures but managed to bounce back well and won three back to back games. However, they are coming into this match on the back off a defeat against the Super Kings and are now placed third in the points table with twelve points.
On the other hand, Durban’s Super Giants have had an unsteady first half of their campaign. They started the tournament well, winning two of their first three fixtures but failed to sustain their good run. They are coming off two consecutive defeats and will be hoping to regain their winning form in this game. As the things stand, they are placed second last in the league standings with eight points.
