SEC vs DSG Match Prediction & Analysis
After breezing past the Joburg Super Kings in the second qualifier, the Durban’s Super Giants travel back to Cape Town for the final showdown with the Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the SA20 at Newlands on Saturday. They were the top two teams at the end of the regular group stages, and, no doubt, they both deserve to be in the finals.
Sunrisers Eastern Capes have beaten Durban’s Super Giants twice in three matches this season. In the round-robin stages, Durban Super Giants took the Gqeberha encounter, and the Sunrisers returned the favor by outclassing them in Durban. Sunrisers followed it with another win at Newlands, Cape Town in the first qualifier to book their place in the final. And this final showdown will be their fourth meeting this season.
Who’ll hold their nerve better? Who’ll play without fear? Who’ll clinch the trophy? This is the first time the Super Giants will be featuring in final, whereas the Sunrisers, the reigning champs, defeated the Pretoria Capitals in last year’s final to be crowned champions of the inaugural edition of this tournament.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Sunrisers Eastern Cape Preview
A rare batting failure while chasing a par total cost Durban’s Super Giants a direct qualification to the final. Sunrisers know that it is not very often that the Super Giants’ batting unit have an off day. They’d be well prepared for an onslaught from the challengers this Saturday, given the kind of imperious batting form Klaasen and Mulder displayed in their late order assault in the second qualifier.
Ottniel Baartman, the star in the first qualifier, holds the key for the Sunrisers with the ball. He comes in as the first change bowler but gets the ball to nip in and seam away in favourable conditions. Another bowlers who makes the most of conditions is Daniel Worrall, who bowls splendidly with the new cherry getting it to shape in and away from the batsmen. Marco Jansen has produced crucial breakthroughs with the new ball for the reigning champs this season and is a key bowler in the lineup.
The spin duo Liam Dawson and Simon Harmer have done well throughout the season, tightening the screws in the middle overs when the batsmen tend to get busy building a strong base so they can cut loose in the death overs. Their bowlers have always got them into winning positions with the ball, however another par effort with the bat just like what they managed on the qualifier day wouldn’t be enough if DSG batsmen find their stride in the final.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape Predicted Playing XI:
Jordan Hermann, Dawid Malan, Tom Abell, Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs (wk), Patrick Kruger, Liam Dawson, Marco Jansen, Simon Harmer, Ottniel Baartman, Daniel Worrall.

Durban's Super Giants Preview
Two successive defeats going into the second qualifier didn’t deter the Super Giants from playing to their strengths. JSK pulled off an unbelievable chase in the final over to deny the Super Giants a victory in their last group fixture. And a disciplined bowling effort by the Sunrisers saw them trounce the Super Giants in the first qualifier.
The Super Giants headed into the second qualifier with their backs against the wall, but they knew they would need back to back wins against the same two teams if they were to go on to clinch their first SA20 title. And, they took a big step in the right direction with a commanding 69-run win over the Super Kings thanks to blistering half centuries from Heinrich Klaasen and Wiaan Mulder, and a fine bowling display by Junior Dala who finished with 4 for 38.
After being asked to bat, the Super Giants lost Breezke, de Kock and JJ Smuts in the powerplay. But Bhanuka Rajapaksa, on debut, slotted in for de Zorzi, came out with a positive mindset and kept the scoreboard ticking along. Before he departed for a quickfire 35, he gave the base that Klaasen and Mulder would need to explode later. Their 100-run partnership came off just 6.1 overs, with Klaasen, in particular, demonstrating his spin-bashing skills taking three sixes and a four off one Imran Tahir over.
Defending 212 with the ball, the Super Giants made sure the in-form openers of JSK were removed before they had a sniff. They kept chipping away at the wickets and never allowed one JSK batter to score more than 30. The chase was pretty much over with Donovan Ferreira, the danger man, gone in the 15th over.
Now that the JSK threat has been taken care of, will the Super Giants conquer the Sunrisers challenge to lift the trophy? Their chances of a title triumph shoot up if their power-packed batting clicks, and theyir batsmen will be hoping that their first qualifier in Cape Town was just an off day.

SEC vs DSG Pitch Report
The grand finale is going to be held at the Newlands, Cape Town. A showdown between the two best teams of this season at a neutral venue with no significant home advantage for either teams. That sounds great.
Toss: To Bat
Durban’s Super Giants have found themselves a little out of depth while chasing this season so Sunrisers would naturally look to exploit that by asking them to bat second. If the toss goes in their favour, the Super Giants will not have any second thoughts batting first. They’ve posted four 200+ totals on the board and gone on to win thrice.

Winning Prediction
Sunrisers Eastern Cape had a scare against the Super Giants in the qualifier, before their bowlers brought them back with some splendid bowling. With Klaasen regaining his imperious touch, Mulder continuing his brilliant form with the bat and Rajapaksa taking out-of-form de Zorzi’s place in the XI, the odds of the Super Giants winning their maiden trophy just went up.
