The Joburg Super Kings will face Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the crucial Eliminator match of SA20 2025 on Wednesday, February 5, at SuperSport Park, Centurion.
Both teams have had different fortunes this season. Sunrisers Eastern Cape finished third in the points table with five wins from ten matches, while Joburg Super Kings struggled, securing only four wins and finishing fourth. Their previous matchups this season ended in one victory each, setting the stage for a balanced contest. SEC comes off a strong 48-run win over Paarl Royals, highlighting their solid bowling performance. Meanwhile, JSK endured an 11-run loss (DLS method) to Durban Super Giants and will need to regroup for this critical encounter.
SuperSport Park Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
In Centurion, SuperSport Park’s surface usually provides good batting conditions. Over the years, it has proved a haven for batsmen, with an average scoring rate of 9.62 in 16 men’s Twenty20 Internationals.
The hitters have scored 8.61 runs per over in four games played here this season in the SA20. Two low-scoring matches took place on the field, although the hitters’ weak application was the main cause. A batting-friendly deck with something for the fast bowlers is hence to be expected. In Centurion, it is unlikely that the spinners will receive much off-field help. Given that the chasing teams have won every SA20 2025 match played here, the team that wins the toss will probably bowl first.
