The SA20 2024 tournament begins on Wednesday night in Gqeberha with Sunrisers Eastern Cape, the victors of the previous season’s league, against Joburg Super Kings. The previous year, the Super Kings were eliminated in the semifinals after placing second in the group stage. The game at St. George’s Park begins at 17:30 local time.
Although they defeated the Johannesburg Super Kings in the semifinals of the previous season, Sunrisers Eastern Cape did not show much throughout the group round. Despite having a potent batting lineup, they might have trouble with their bowling unit in this match.
In this game, the Johannesburg Super Kings will be seeking retribution to atone for their 2023 semi-final loss. They have a lot of alternatives, experienced hitters, and a strong bowling attack, so they have a good chance of winning right away.
Before this match, South Africa’s captain, Aiden Markram, would still be enjoying the afterglow after his incredible century in the Test against India during their quick Second Test at Newlands last week. Booming drives through the covers characterized his innings, and we can anticipate more of the same from the strong right-hander in this contest. Temba Bavuma, the captain of South Africa, is not anticipated to be ready after missing the Second Test against India because of a hamstring injury.
Marco Jansen is anticipated to be Sunrisers’ greatest threat with the ball. His stature, ball-swinging prowess, velocity, and left-arm slant make him a formidable opponent throughout innings. Throughout the match, we can count on Simon Harmer to be quite consistent with his off-spin as he looks to build on his eight wickets from the previous season.

With former South African captain and current T20 world traveler Faf du Plessis leading the team, the Johannesburg Super Kings have once again put together an exciting bunch of players. The muscular starter is predicted to be in a strong top three that also features England’s World Cup winner Moeen Ali and opener Reeza Hendricks of South Africa. In addition, the Super Kings boast a wealth of powerful all-round players in David Wiese, Romario Shepherd, and Gerald Coetzee in case the top-order falters!
Nandre Burger, the newest phenomenon in fast bowling in South Africa, is leading the bowling assault. Some said he smiled too much on his Test debut, but can you blame him? Since the beginning of December, he has made his international debut in all three formats and has excelled in each of them. Romario Shepherd is an expert at white-ball bowling, and it will be especially interesting to watch his death overs.
