SEC vs JSK, SA20 2025 Match Preview
Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC)
The two-time defending champions had a rocky start, losing their first three games, but bounced back impressively, finishing third in the points table with five wins and five losses. SEC thrives under pressure, and their last game showcased their resilience.
They dominated Paarl Royals, securing a 48-run victory by defending 148/8 with an exceptional bowling performance. Jordan Hermann (53) and Tristan Stubbs (43) led the batting, while Craig Overton and Marco Jansen dismantled the opposition with three wickets each. With momentum on their side, SEC aims to continue their title defense.
Joburg Super Kings (JSK)
JSK had an inconsistent campaign, finishing fourth with four wins, five losses, and one no result. Their journey has been erratic, and they need to rediscover their rhythm to stay in the competition.
Coming into this match, JSK suffered a rain-affected loss to Durban’s Super Giants. Chasing a revised 147 in 16 overs, they fell 11 runs short (135/9). Donovan Ferreira’s explosive 51 off 22 balls was the only bright spot, as the rest of the batting lineup struggled. They need a team effort to overcome a resurgent SEC.
