The 17th match of SA20 2025 will witness Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) hosting Pretoria Capitals (PC) at St. George’s Park, Gqeberha, on Wednesday, January 22.
SEC, the defending champions, are looking to bounce back after a rough start to their season with three losses. However, two convincing wins against Durban Super Giants have given them momentum. Pretoria Capitals, on the other hand, are aiming to recover after an eight-wicket loss to Paarl Royals, despite scoring a strong 212/5 in their last game.
How the Pitch Plays
The pitch at St. George’s Park offers a fair balance between batting and bowling. Pacers usually find some movement early with the new ball, while spinners tend to come into play as the game progresses. The last game here was low-scoring, with bowlers dominating the match.
Batters may struggle initially due to the bounce and pace of the pitch, so they will need to adjust to the conditions before accelerating. Fast bowlers who focus on bowling into the surface are likely to be more effective. The pitch tends to get slower as the game goes on, making it harder for batters in the second innings. Teams winning the toss are expected to bat first to take advantage of the relatively better conditions early on.
