SA20 2025 – Predicting Durban Super Giants’ playing XI for their clash against Sunrisers Eastern Cape

The ‘number 5’ Durban’s Super Giants (DSG) will take on the Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) in the 14^th fixture of the ongoing SA20 2025. Gqeberha’s St. George’s Park will host this game on January 19, at 7:00 PM (IST). DSG are coming off a 58-run defeat against the same opponent Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the last game.

Keshav Maharaj-led side are placed in the fifth spot on the tournament standings, with only one win and two defeats, alongside a ‘no-result’ game in their four games. They have six points to their name and a win in this game will help them move a spot or two up in the points tally.

Here, we’ll look at the predicted final XI of Durban’s Super Giants in their next clash against Sunrisers Eastern Cape.

Openers – Matthew Breetzke and Bryce Parsons

The DSG management will look ahead to go with the unchanged opening pair of Matthew Breetzke and Bryce Parsons in the next game. The duo stitched a quick partnership of 40 runs for the first wicket in just 5.5 overs in the last game against SEC.

Breetzke scored 21 runs off 26 balls followed by Parsons’ 23 runs off 21 balls, with two fours and a six. They are expected to provide a quick and big start in the next fixture against SEC.

Middle Order – Kane Williamson, Quinton de Kock (WK), Heinrich Klaasen, and Jason Smith

The middle-order of the Super Giants will include the veteran batter Kane Williamson on number three. He will be followed by the experienced wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock on number four; de Kock scored 21 runs in the last game.

Following Williamson and De Kock, the blistering batter Heinrich Klaasen will be there to bat at number five followed by Jason Smith in the lower middle-order. Klaasen is known for his swashbuckling batting approach and helping his side post a big total on the board. Jason Smith could also score some crucial runs in the lower middle order.

All-Rounders – Wiaan Mulder and Chris Woakes

Speaking of all-rounders in DSG’s predicted playing XI against SEC, Wiaan Mulder and Chris Woakes would be the two perfect fits to be included. Mulder scored 22 runs off 19 balls, with two sixes. He could also leave an impact with the ball in the upcoming clash against SEC.

Chris Woakes will also be there to play a vital role both with the bat and the ball. He can hit some important lower down the order, alongside providing a few crucial breakthroughs to his side in the middle overs while bowling.

Bowlers – Keshav Maharaj (C), Noor Ahmed, Naveen-ul-Haq  

Durban’s Super Giants will be eyeing going with the same bowling trio, including two specialist spinners, alongside a pacer. The spin duo will include skipper Keshav Maharaj and in-form Afghan spinner Noor Ahmed.

Despite DSG’s defeat in the last game against SEC, Noor Ahmed won the ‘Player of the Match’ award for his sensational bowling performance. He scalped 4 wickets at just 25 runs in his four overs, with a decent economy rate of 6.25. He will be a perfect fit to be included in the DSG’s playing XI for the next game against the Eastern Cape.
