SEC vs PC Betting Tips
Matthew Breetzke to score over 24.5 runs
Matthew Breetzke has been one of the most reliable top-order batters for Sunrisers Eastern Cape this season. He comes into Qualifier 1 after a match-winning 66-run knock in the final group game and has looked increasingly comfortable against both pace and spin. With Sunrisers expected to rely heavily on their top three in a high-pressure playoff, backing Breetzke to cross 24.5 runs offers solid value.
Highest individual score – Over 59.5
Playoff matches in SA20 have often seen at least one batter anchor the innings once early wickets are negotiated. With quality batters like Quinton de Kock, Matthew Breetzke, and Sherfane Rutherford in action, conditions are ripe for a substantial individual score. Given recent trends, at least one player crossing the 60-run mark looks likely.

SEC vs PC Team Previews
Sunrisers Eastern Cape
Sunrisers Eastern Cape finished the group stage as table-toppers, winning five of their ten matches and comfortably leading on net run rate. Their campaign has been built around discipline, clarity of roles, and a bowling unit that consistently applies pressure.
In their most recent outing, Sunrisers chased down 149 against MI Cape Town with seven wickets in hand. Quinton de Kock and Matthew Breetzke stitched together a crucial partnership, while the bowling unit — led by Chris Green — restricted a strong batting lineup effectively.
Sunrisers’ biggest strength remains their balance. The top order provides stability, the middle order chips in when required, and the bowling attack offers both control and wicket-taking options. In playoff conditions, their ability to stay calm under pressure could prove decisive.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape Expected Playing 11
Quinton de Kock (wk), Jonny Bairstow, Matthew Breetzke, Jordan Hermann, Tristan Stubbs (c), Marco Jansen, Chris Green, James Coles, Senuran Muthusamy, Anrich Nortje, Adam Milne

Pretoria Capitals
Pretoria Capitals finished second in the group stage with five wins from ten matches. While their net run rate was modest, their late surge ensured a top-two finish and a second chance if needed.
In their final league match, Capitals recovered from a disastrous powerplay to post a competitive total, thanks largely to a superb unbeaten 74 from Sherfane Rutherford. Their bowling unit then delivered a disciplined performance to defend the score.
However, Capitals remain vulnerable at the top of the order. Frequent early wickets have forced the middle order to rebuild under pressure — a risky approach against a disciplined Sunrisers bowling attack. For Pretoria to challenge strongly, they will need a far better start with the bat.
Pretoria Capitals Expected Playing 11
Shai Hope (wk), Bryce Parsons, Dewald Brevis, Sherfane Rutherford, Roston Chase, Andre Russell, Keshav Maharaj (c), Lizaad Williams, Lungi Ngidi, Gideon Peters, Nandre Burger
SEC vs PC Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss is likely to field first. Chasing teams have enjoyed success in recent SA20 matches, and captains may prefer knowing the target in a high-stakes qualifier.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The surface is expected to be well-balanced, offering value for shots once batters settle while still assisting bowlers who hit the right lengths. A first-innings score in the 160–170 range should be competitive. As the match progresses, spinners and cutters are likely to come into play, especially during the middle overs.
Weather conditions are expected to be clear, ensuring a full match without interruptions.
SEC vs PC: Who Will Win?
Sunrisers Eastern Cape look better placed heading into Qualifier 1. They have been the most consistent side across the tournament, boast superior bowling depth, and have dominated recent head-to-head meetings.
Pretoria Capitals have the firepower to cause an upset, but their fragile top order and reliance on middle-order recoveries could hurt them against a disciplined Sunrisers attack.
Bet on Sunrisers Eastern Cape to win.
