Match 24 of SA20 2025-26 will be played between Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Joburg Super Kings at the St George’s Park in Gqeberha on Wednesday, January 14. The teams were scheduled to take on each other on January 3. However, the match was washed out shortly after the toss.
The Eastern Cape are coming off a narrow final-over loss against Durban’s Super Giants. They have won three matches out of seven and lost two while a couple of matches have been abandoned due to inclement weather. As the league phase approaches its business end, the Tristan Stubbs-led unit will treating this clash as a must-win one to guarantee a playoff spot.
The Super Kings had the best start to the season out of all teams, winning their first three matches. However, even their campaign has been thwarted by rain. Much like the Eastern Cape, two matches have been spoilt due to weather. Two of their recent three matches ended in defeats to MI Cape Town.
