In the upcoming match, Joburg Super Kings and Sunrisers Eastern Cape will square off. 27 of the SA20 2023 on February 5th, 2023 The Wanderers in Johannesburg will host the contest. Aiden Markram’s Sunrisers team started their season by losing to the Pretoria Capitals of Wayne Parnell twice in a row. They have, however, progressed up the ladder and now hold the second spot in the table with 19 points and a net run rate of +0.508.
However, they run the risk of being eliminated from the competition if they lose their final game. Due to the rain, their previous match against the Durban Super Giants was unsuccessful. On the other hand, the Super Kings, led by Faf du Plessis, are in danger of falling to fourth place in the table with 18 points and a net run rate of -0.923. They would move up to second place, below the Capitals, with a victory, but a loss could put them in a lot of trouble.
Due to rain, their previous match against David Miller’s Paarl Royals was unsuccessful. The bowlers for the Super Kings need to be careful in their next match because Jason Roy put pressure on them and made some of their weaknesses clear.
