The seventh match of SA20 2025 will see Pretoria Capitals take on Sunrisers Eastern Cape at SuperSport Park in Centurion on January 14.

The Capitals have had a rough start to the season, losing their opening match against Durban’s Super Giants, while their second game was abandoned due to rain. Led by Rilee Rossouw, they currently sit in fifth place on the points table.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape have also struggled, losing their first two matches against MI Cape Town and Paarl Royals. They are placed at the bottom of the table. Both teams will be eager to secure their first win in the tournament.

How the Pitch Plays

SuperSport Park is known for its batting-friendly surface, often leading to high-scoring games. The pitch allows batters to play freely and use the ground’s dimensions to their advantage.

There is some assistance for fast bowlers in the early overs, which makes bowling first a wise choice for the team winning the toss. Seamers can exploit the initial conditions, but as the game progresses, the surface tends to favour the batters.

Overcast conditions are expected during the game, which could further aid the fast bowlers. Bowlers will need to rely on clever variations to counter the batters on this high-scoring pitch.
