SA20 2025: Predicting Sunrisers Eastern Cape’s playing XI for their clash against Joburg Super Kings

Check out predicted Sunrisers Eastern Cape’s playing XI for their clash against Joburg Super Kings. Defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape are making a strong comeback during the SA20 tournament. Aiden Markram and his side beat Pretoria Capitals by 52 runs in their last match to move to third in the table. Sunrisers have played six matches and have 15 points with three wins and three losses. 

Sunrisers began the season with three consecutive losses to MI Cape Town, Paarl Royals and Pretoria Capitals. The momentum turned after their win over Durban Super Giants in both the home and away encounters. The third win of the season arrived after Sunrisers beat Pretoria by 52 runs to make a telling statement. 

Here is the likely Sunrisers Eastern Cape’s playing XI vs Joburg Super Kings: 

Top order:

England batter Zak Crawley has been struggling for form in the last few games of the SA20 tournament. The tall batter will want to turn his form around and help his team make it to the playoffs and hopefully win the title for a third successive time. David Bedingham has good experience of playing in home conditions but his form in the previous games haven’t been that promising. 

Middle Order:

Sunrisers Eastern Cape suffered a huge collapse against Pretoria in their last game. Considering the bowling attack Joburg has at their disposal both Abell and Hermann need to be at their best. Skipper Aiden Markram waged the lone battle with the bat against Pretoria scoring 68 runs. The 30-year-old will hope to continue his fine form going into the final few games of the season.  

Lower-order:

Young Tristan Stubbs has grown into one of the most exciting players in South Africa. The youngster was out for just four runs and fans will hope this is just a minor blip and Stubbs can find his form once more. Marco Jansen was the best player for his team with 20 crucial runs with the bat and also with four key wickets. The left-arm pacer has been sensational with the form in the last few months. Liam Dawson scored a brisk 25 and also took three wickets to help his side win the game and show his utility as an all-rounder.  

Tail enders: 

Veteran spinner Simon Harmer bowled three overs and picked one wicket for 22 runs. Markram will want his veteran at his best in the business end of the tournament. Richard Gleeson and Ottneil Baartman varied their pace well and picked a wicket each and bowled with great accuracy to help their side win.
