Durban Super Giants were outplayed in the finals of the previous season by SEG to clinch the trophy. This year, Durban Super Giants started with a close win against Pretoria Capitals but the next game was abandoned and they lost the third game to Joburg Super Kings.
In the first game, batting first, Durban Super Giants managed to put on a huge score of 209 for 4 in 20 overs. Kane Williamson was the top scorer with 60 of 40 balls with 3 fours and 2 sixes. In defense, it took a while for Durban Super Giants to take the first wicket of the Pretoria Capitals. However, after the first breakthrough, they kept on taking regular wickets and restricted Pretoria Capitals two runs short of the target. Chris Woakes and Noor Ahmed took two wickets each, helping Durban Super Giants the first victory of the season.
After a washout in the next game against the same team Pretoria Capitals, Durban Super Giants played their third game against the Super Kings at Durban. Durban Super Giants conceded 169 runs for seven wickets in 20 overs. Prenelan Subrayen Chris Woakes and Keshav Maharaj took 2 wickets each. The chase was all over the place in the absence of Kane Williamson. Quinton De Kock tried his best with an innings of 55 of 45 deliveries with 5 fours and 2 sixes. Can DCG the second victory of the season against the Sunrisers Eastern Cape? A lot depends on if and when Henrich Klassen fires or not.
Key players: Keshav Maharaj (c), Noor Ahmad, Matthew Breetzke, Heinrich Klaasen
De Kock has scores of 55 & 15 runs in the two matches he has played this season. In both the matches de Kock looked good with the bat striking it pretty well, but one false shot costed him his wicket. At Durban, he averages 27 runs per innings and has scored 345 runs in 13 matches.

The defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape would not have expected the start they have had so far in SA20 2025 competition. They became champions by defeating Durban Super Giants in the finals in the previous season by a huge margin of 89 runs. However, this season they have been completely off-color and have not managed to win a single game in their first three encounters.
With a very low net run rate of -2.423, Sunrisers Eastern Cape, the defending champions are currently at the bottom of the points table. The reason behind such a low net run rate is the huge defeats they have encountered in all three games so far. Sunrisers Eastern Cape lost to MI Cape Town by 97 runs in their opening game, followed by a 9-wicket defeat against the Royals. In their previous game against Pretoria Capitals, Sunrisers Eastern Cape lost by 6-wicket with about 4 overs to spare. It cannot get worse than this for the defending champions.
In bowling, in the first three games, Sunrisers Eastern Cape could take just 12 wickets while they lost 25 wickets in the same 3 games. It's not just the bowling, their batting has been below par as well. Except for the score of 175 against the Royals, Sunrisers Eastern Cape managed two low scores, such as 113 all-out against the Capitals and 77 all-out against MI Cape Town. The batting and bowling units of Sunrisers Eastern Cape are not firing at all. It will be interesting to see how do they find a way to defeat the Durban Super Giants.
Key players: Aiden Markram, Tristan Stubbs, Marco Jansen, Ottneil Baartman
Crawley has had quick starts this season, smashing three fours in each, but he has failed to convert these starts into big knocks. He is due for a big knock. On the good batting surface at Kingsmead, Crawley will have a bigger role to play. We back him to get his team off to a good start and also hit over 2.5 fours.
Markram was dismissed for a duck in the last match against the Pretoria Capitals. He has scored 101 runs in three matches so far in SA20 2025. Despite his rich vein of form and being the mainstay batter in the middle order for the Sunrisers, he was dismissed for a duck in the last match. With his team in desperate need of a win, expect him to step up and produce a match-winning knock on the good batting surface at Durban.

We back the visitors Sunrisers Eastern Cape to win the coin toss in today's SA20 match.
The surface at Kingsmead, Durban is one of the best batting surfaces in South Africa and the average total match score in the last five SA20 matches played at this venue is around the 330-335 run mark. Both teams bowling lineups have been peppered this season, which should setup for an exciting contest for their batting lineups to take charge.
In the 18 outright result games at Durban in T20 internationals, the teams batting first have won 10 while the teams fielding first have won eight games. The previous two encounters at Durban this season have been won by the teams batting first. There seems to be an advantage of batting first at this venue. The team winning the toss should bat first here.
Durban Super Giants and Sunrisers Eastern Cape were the finalists of the previous season when Sunrisers Eastern Cape won the championship. However, this season the tables have turned. Sunrisers Eastern Cape have lost three matches in a row while Durban Super Giants managed one win and one no result in the first three games. Sunrisers Eastern Cape's batting and bowling units both are severely underperforming so far this season. Thus, we believe Durban Super Giants have a slight advantage over Sunrisers Eastern Cape in this game.
We predict that Durban Super Giants will defeat Sunrisers Eastern Cape.
