Sunrisers Eastern Cape To Win, 1.83

The visiting team beat Pretoria Capitals convincingly in its previous SA20 game
The attacking opening combination of Quinton de Kock and Jonny Bairstow will flatten the hopes of the Super Giants bowlers
DSG vs SEC Betting Tips
The best result of the first partnership to be from Sunrisers Eastern Cape
With an opening batting combination that won’t give the bowlers a chance to breathe, this bet should be firmly in your grasp. Quinton de Kock has formerly played for the Durban’s Super Giants, so he will know conditions well. Englishman Jonny Bairstow is a batter in form.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape total runs before the first dismissal to be over 23.5 runs
This is well within the opening batters’ range. Having made 177 runs unbeaten in their last innings, de Kock and Bairstow will back themselves for another big one. The pair made a half-century stand against Paarl Royals as well.

DSG vs SEC Team Previews
Durban's Super Giants
Durban’s Super Giants walked off at Kingsmead with the kind of loss that really hurts their campaign. Pretoria Capitals put up 201 for 4 and then still had enough to win by 15 runs. The tone was set early as West Indian Shai Hope banged a brilliant century and the Super Giants’ attack simply couldn’t slow him down.
With the ball, the Super Giants’ plans lacked assertiveness. Kwena Maphaka with 45 runs off 4 overs, Gerlad Coetzee with 43 runs in 4 overs and David Wiese with 34 runs off 3 overs were expensive. Sunil Narine’s 0 for 22 in 4 overs was a rare sign of control.
The chase told a harsh story. Jos Buttler’s 97 unbeaten off 52 nearly dragged the team over the line, but the rescue act was not enough. The Super Giants struggles to get the job done when the crunch moments come. Kane Williamson’s 12, Klaasen’s 16 and a duck for Evan Jones left the middle order with a gaping hole.
The innings subsided at the end with a hat-trick from Lungi Ngidi to seal the deal against Durban. Half of the Durban the batting lineup fell for 0.
Durban's Super Giants Expected Playing 11
Kane Williamson, Marques Ackerman, Jos Buttler, Aiden Markram (c), Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Evan Jones, David Wiese, Gerald Coetzee, Sunil Narine, Gerald Coetzee, Kwena Maphaka, Noor Ahmad

Sunrisers Eastern Cape
Sunrisers Eastern Cape look like a team that can take games away in a hurry. Chasing 177 against Pretoria Capitals, they obliterated the target inside the 15th over. Jonny Bairstow was fearless and fluent with 85 not out in 45 balls. Quinton de Kock’s 79 not out off 41 balls reminded the crowd of his class.
The South African middle order batting core of Matthew Breetzke, Jordan Hermann and Tristan Stubbs will play their shots fearlessly.
The team is not just a powerhouse with the bat, but equally tasty with ball in hand. They held Pretoria to 176 for 7 on a batting paradise. Anrich Nortje’s 3 for 32 in 4 overs provided the cutting edge, Adam Milne’s 2 wickets kept the pressure on and Lewis Gregory’s 1 for 18 in 4 overs was a controlled spell.
With a top order capable of chasing anything in no time and a varied pace attack that can trouble most, the team has all the tools to conquer Durban at Kingsmead.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape Expected Playing 11
Quinton de Kock (wk), Jonny Bairstow, Matthew Breetzke, Jordan Hermann, Tristan Stubbs (c), Marco Jansen, Senuran Muthusamy, Lewis Gregory, Anrich Nortje, Adam Milne, Lutho Sipamla
DSG vs SEC Toss Prediction
After chasing 177 against the Pretoria Capitals inside 14.2 overs, the Sunrisers Eastern Cape would feel confident if they can chase again. The dew factor at night in Durban will also play on the minds of the captains and convince them to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Kingsmead can offer early movement and extra help for the seamers early on. 165 to 175 runs should be a competitive batting-first total. The pacers can be a threat in the powerplay if they stay disciplined. The spinners tend to get more bite once the pitch dries and the ball gets older.
Matchday is expected to be gloomy with cloud cover and heavy evening showers. The dampish wicket will assist the seam bowlers.
DSG vs SEC: Who Will Win?
The Sunrisers Eastern Cape has started this SA20 with a bang, moving to 3 wins in 5 matches. Their first win against Paarl Royals and both fixtures against Pretoria Capitals were stunning victories. Since their opening day win, the Durban’s Super Giants has struggled to build momentum, with games washed out and results not going their way.
Bet on Sunrisers Eastern Cape to win.
