TEAMS PREVIEW
Sunrisers Eastern Cape Preview
Sunrisers Eastern Cape have had a fantastic season. They have already made it to the playoffs with a splendid performance, winning six of their nine games and earning 29 points. They are second on the table and are coming off a thumping win against Paarl Royals at Boland Park.
In that game, the Sunrisers batted first and posted a mammoth score of 208-4. In reply, Paarl Royals whimpered to a total of just 164-7, losing the game by 44 runs.
Tom Abell (229 runs in 6 innings at a strike rate of 155) and Tristan Stubbs (212 runs in 6 innings at 170) are our picks for batters who are likely to perform in this match.
Captain Aiden Markram has been in good nick too, with 152 runs in 6 innings at 134.51.
All-rounder Marco Jansen should also be picked. He has taken 11 wickets this season at an economy of 8.04. As batter, he showed in the previous game what he can do. Coming in to bat at No.4, Jensen blasted 71 off just 31 balls against the Royals and took his team to a commanding total.
You can also back Daniel Worrall, Sunrisers’ highest wicket-taker this season with 14 scalps, to make an impact.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape Predicted Playing XI:
Jordan Hermann, Dawid Malan, Tom Abell, Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs (wk), Patrick Kruger, Marco Jansen, Liam Dawson, Beyers Swanepoel, Simon Harmer, Daniel Worrall

Paarl Royals Preview
Paarl Royals have suffered three back-to-back losses and will have to go back to the drawing board. As we mentioned above, they were defeated by the Sunrisers in their previous game and need to get some momentum back
In the previous game, Jos Buttler (64 off 45 balls) and Jason Roy (32 off 23 balls) threatened to take the game away from the Sunrisers in the powerplay, but once Roy fell none of the other batters could step up.
The onus will be on Buttler to deliver again. He is the team’s leading run-getter, with 360 runs in 9 innings at a strike rate of 142.
We are also expecting a crucial knock from captain David Miller (182 runs in 8 innings at 120).
Among the bowlers, Lungi Ngidi has been a star, picking up 13 wickets in 9 games. He has been leaking runs too, however, which is a concerning thing.
Leg-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi (9 wickets in as many games at 7.33) will also be key to the Royals’ fortunes.
Paarl Royals Predicted Playing XI:
Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (wk), Wihan Lubbe, Mitchell Van Buuren, David Miller (c), Dane Vilas, Evan Jones, Bjorn Fortuin, Lungi Ngidi, Obed McCoy, Tabraiz Shamsi

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch at St George's Park in Gqeberha has been great for batting this season in the SA20 expect for that match where Pretoria Capitals were shot out for just 52. The pitch has offered good carry and bounce and the ball comes on nicely to the bat. Seamers will find consistent bounce but batters should have a better time here.
The weather in Gqeberha will be largely humid with clouds.

SEC vs PR
Winning Prediction
Sunrisers Eastern Cape have won three games on the trot, while Paarl Royals have lost three on the bounce. The Royals are heading to the playoffs with minimal momentum. On the other hand, the Sunrisers are shining brightly. The Royals would be desperate to get a win before the playoffs, but that won’t be easy as they have already been crushed by the Sunrisers this Friday. Unless the likes of Buttler, Roy, and Miller fire, the Sunrisers will be favorites to win this one.
