Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Durban Super Giants Weather Report, Toss Prediction, and Pitch Report
The second inning of this game will be quite humid. From beginning to end, the temperature will be greater than 24 degrees.
At this location, every team has elected to go out on the field first, therefore we forecast that both captains won’t think twice if they win the toss.
Contrary to what Sunrisers Eastern Cape’s 127-run inning on Saturday would imply, this pitch is significantly stronger for hitting. A par score should be somewhere around 170+.
