Author: Shimit Mahur
Updated At:
The third season of the SA20 cricket league has already begun and we have entered the 2nd week of the league. With every fixture in the league, a clear picture is coming out regarding the performance of all the teams. Every fixture is a close contest according to the betting sites in India.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape are the defending champions in the league but things have gone horribly wrong for the franchise. After dominating two consecutive seasons, Sunrisers Eastern Cape is currently at the bottom of the point table with just a single win and 3 losses.
Surprisingly. MI Cape Town has come out as the table toppers this year. MI Cape Town has been through a very below-average performance in the last two seasons. After going through two tough seasons, MI Cape Town is now getting the benefit of their patience. They are currently at the top of the point table with 3 wins and 2 losses with a net run rate of +1.672.
Paarl Royals are currently at the 2nd spot in the point table with 3 wins and a single loss. Their net run rate stands at -0.079. Joburg Super Kings are currently at the 3rd spot in the league with 2 wins and a single loss and their net run rate stands at -0.026.
The runners-up from the previous edition of the league - Durban Super Giants, are also going through a tough time. They are currently placed in the 5th spot in the league with a single win and 2 losses. Their net run rate stands at -1.400.
As the first week comes to an end in SA20 2025, we bring you a short recap of the league and the winning odds for every team in the league.
