Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) are set to play their fifth match in SA20 2025 as they face Durban Super Giants (DSG) at St George’s Park, Gqeberha, on January 19.
Both teams have struggled so far this season, each securing just one win in four matches. Sunrisers Eastern Cape are at the bottom of the points table and need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, Durban Super Giants, placed fifth, will look to recover from back-to-back defeats and improve their position.
How the Pitch Plays
St George’s Park is a venue that offers assistance to fast bowlers. Early in the innings, pacers are likely to get movement and variable bounce. As the ball gets older, slower deliveries and cutters could be effective. While batters might find it tough to connect shots consistently, a settled batter can make the most of the conditions.
Spinners may not dominate, but they could play a supporting role as the game progresses. With this being only the second game of the season at this ground, the toss-winning captain is expected to bowl first.
St George’s Park, Gqeberha: Batting or Bowling Friendly?
The pitch here is slightly inclined towards bowlers. Early movement benefits pacers, but skilled batters can build partnerships. Teams batting first have had mixed results, with four wins out of ten matches. However, defending a target above the average score of 134 could be challenging.
