SEC vs JSK Team Preview & Squads

Sunrisers Eastern Cape

Reigning champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape has experienced a mix of highs and lows in this SA20 season, securing five wins and five losses. However, they seem to be hitting form at the perfect moment, winning three of their last five matches, including a resilient bowling effort to defend 148 against Paarl Royals in their most recent game.

Skipper Aiden Markram has been a key performer, amassing 261 runs in 10 innings at an average of 32.62 and a strike rate of 128. David Bedingham has provided steady contributions as well, scoring 200 runs across nine innings at a strike rate of 117.

The middle order boasts firepower, with Tristan Stubbs and Marco Jansen both surpassing 175 runs this season. Stubbs, in particular, is in fine touch after his brisk 43 off 27 balls against Paarl.

Their bowling attack of SEC shares the responsibility efficiently. Jansen leads the way with 15 wickets in 10 matches at an economy rate of 6.41. Meanwhile, Richard Gleeson and Liam Dawson have collectively taken 22 wickets and could play a pivotal role in the Eliminator.

Joburg Super Kings

Joburg Super Kings kicked off SA20 2025 with consecutive victories but have struggled for consistency, losing three of their last five matches. Their most recent setback came against Durban Super Giants, where they fell 11 runs short of a DLS-adjusted target of 147 in 16 overs.

Heading into the Eliminator, the JSK appear slightly unsettled and will need both their batting and bowling units to step up. Captain Faf du Plessis has led from the front, amassing 267 runs in 10 innings at an impressive strike rate of 141.26. His opening partner, Devon Conway, has contributed 242 runs, albeit at a more measured strike rate of 110.50.

All-rounder Donovan Ferreira showcased his game-changing ability with a blistering 51 off 22 balls against Durban, standing out in an otherwise lackluster batting effort. Their bowling attack remains potent, with Lutho Sipamla and Hardus Viljoen spearheading the unit—both have taken 12 wickets while maintaining tight economy rates. With Ferreira, Tabraiz Shamsi, and Maheesh Theekshana adding variety, their bowling remains a major threat.
