Match Details

Top Picks & Captaincy Choices
Quinton de Kock (SEC): In red-hot form with a recent 77. He is the most reliable captaincy pick.
Marco Jansen (SEC): A genuine all-rounder who thrives in these conditions. Excellent for VC or Captain in small leagues.
Anrich Nortje (SEC): Took 4 wickets in the last meeting against PR. His raw pace is a nightmare for the Royals' struggling top order.
Adam Milne (SEC): The leading wicket-taker so far this season; very dangerous with the new ball.
David Miller (PR): The lone warrior for the Royals. If they are to post a big total, Miller must anchor the innings.
Match Winner Prediction: Sunrisers Eastern Cape are expected to win comfortably given their current form and bowling depth.
