SA20 2023, Match 3, Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Pretoria Capitals: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Pretoria Capitals are set to lock horns in Match No. 3 of the SA20 2023 on Thursday, January 12. The match will take place at St George's Park in Gqeberha.

The Sunrisers will be captained by Aiden Markram, who has not only been a reliable batter for South Africa but also in franchise leagues around the world. There’s no lack of firepower in their lineup as they have the likes of Tom Abell and Tristan Stubbs in the middle order.

Sarel Erwee and JJ Smuts should open the batting. Brydon Carse and Sisanda Magala have made impressive starts to their international careers and a lot will depend on them. Roelof van der Merwe and Marco Jansen are potent all-rounders and need to step up.

The Capitals, on the other hand, have one of the best lineups in the tournament, if not the best. Will Jacks and Phil Salt are explosive batters and should open the batting. Cameron Delport and Rilee Rossouw are both reliable and explosive, giving solidity to the middle order.

Anrich Nortje is among the fastest bowlers going around and a lot will depend on him. The Capitals also have potent pacers in Daryn Dupavillon, Wayne Parnell and Migael Pretorius. James Neesham and Senuran Muthusamy are more than handy all-rounders and can be mightily effective.
