PC vs SEC Dream11 Prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s SA20 match – January 14, 2025

The Pretoria Capitals (PC) will take on the Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) in the seventh match of SA20 2025 on Tuesday, January 14, at the SuperSport Park in Centurion.

The Capitals got off the mark on the points table after their reverse fixture against the Durban Super Giants (DSG) was washed out on January 12. However, they'll be desperate to register their first win tonight after losing a close game to the Super Giants on January 10.

Meanwhile, the defending champions SEC have been well beaten in both their opening outings. Their first defeat saw their batting order and death bowling disappoint. Their most recent loss to the Paarl Royals saw Aiden Markram post a solid half-century to take them to a decent total, but their bowlers let them down, allowing the Royals to romp home with ease.

With two teams searching for their first win of the season, this should be an engrossing tie. Let's now look at the top three Dream11 captaincy picks for this fixture.

#3 Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK) (PC)

Rahmanullah Gurbaz has quickly become a valuable T20 player across all T20 leagues, and his SA20 debut was one to remember. The Afghanistan keeper-batter smashed a 43-ball 89 in the Capitals' run chase against the Durban Super Giants, building a 154-run opening stand with Will Jacks.

While the Capitals crumbled rather spectacularly post his dismissal and lost that match, Gurbaz is set for a stellar season with the bat. The wicket at SuperSport Park should be a dream to bat on, and despite not having wicketkeeping duties, he remains a solid Dream11 captaincy option.

#2 Marco Jansen (ALL) (SEC)

Despite their poor start to the season, Marco Jansen remains a top Dream11 captaincy pick from the Sunrisers Eastern Cape. He was, in fact, the only bowler, to somewhat escape unscathed from Lhuan-dre Pretorius' assault against the SEC bowling lineup, finishing the match with decent figures of 1/31 in four overs.

The last time SEC played at this venue, Jansen had a great outing with the ball, finishing with a spell of 3/27, although his side lost a close match by three runs. Jansen remains a strike bowler for his side both with the new ball and at the death, and he could bat at No.7 or higher, depending on the match situation.

He's nearly the perfect all-rounder and definitely merits consideration as your top Dream11 captaincy choice.

#1 Will Jacks (BAT) (PC)

Pretoria Capitals' second opener, Will Jacks, is our next top captaincy suggestion in this fixture. Jacks has been, by far, the best player for the Pretoria Capitals in the SA20. He is their highest run-scorer, aggregating 579 runs in 17 innings, averaging 34.05, and scoring at a powerful strike rate of 189.83!

He has also contributed nine wickets with the ball at a miserly economy rate of 6.75 and has been a valuable all-rounder for the Capitals.

He loves playing at SuperSport Park and has a terrific record at the venue. Given how the SEC bowlers struggled to contain the Paarl opening pair in an evening game on Saturday, Jacks could compound their misery in this fixture. His points ceiling is very high, and he's a no-brainer when it comes to Dream11 captaincy.
