Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Joburg Super Kings Preview
Sunrisers Eastern Cape will be looking to continue their winning run when they face Joburg Super Kings at home. Let’s take a look at these two teams ahead of their encounter on Saturday.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape
Sunrisers Eastern Cape lost their first two games but have made a terrific comeback with three victories in a row. On Thursday, they defeated Paarl Royals by five wickets on the back of a strong bowling performance, chasing down 128 with 10 balls to spare.
Aiden Markram, Roelof van der Merwe, Brydon Carse, Sisanda Magala and Marco Jansen form a potent bowling attack. With the bat, they have had impactful contributions from Markram, Tristan Stubbs and Jansen. Jordan Hermann looked impressive on his debut.
Squad: Jordan Hermann, Adam Rossington (wk), Sarel Erwee, Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs, Jordan Cox (wk), Marco Jansen, Ayabulela Gqamane, Roelof van der Merwe, Sisanda Magala, Brydon Carse
Joburg Super Kings
Joburg Super Kings sit at the bottom of the table with two out of five wins and an awful net run-rate of -1.457. Most recently, Pretoria Capitals hammered them by six wickets, chasing 123 in just 13 overs and becoming the second team to take bonus point off Joburg.
The Super Kings haven’t been able to put up a collective batting performance, with a lot riding on Faf du Plessis. Leus du Plooy and Donovan Ferreira have given them two wins with outrageous knocks. The bowling attack lacks experience or quality, barring Alzarri Joseph.
Squad: Reeza Hendricks, Faf du Plessis (c), Leus du Plooy, Donavon Ferreira, Lewis Gregory, Romario Shepherd, Kyle Verreynne (wk), Alzarri Joseph, Gerald Coetzee, Nandre Burger, Aaron Phangiso
