SA20 2025 - Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Joburg Super Kings - 2nd Playoff - Key Players

The two-time champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape will now come face to face with Joburg Super Kings in the 2nd playoff of the SA20 2025 cricket league. There is animosity between the two teams as they both would like to be part of the final fixture.

As the third season of the SA20 cricket league comes to an end, we are just a few matches away from finding out the winner. The whole season was filled with ups and downs for both teams as they both have come out as inconsistent performers.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape finished their league stage at the 3rd spot with 5 wins and 5 losses. Their net run rate stood at -0.206. The defending champions started the league action with three consecutive losses. That impacted the confidence of the team big time and the rest of the league was not as good as expected.

The primary reason for this unexpected performance from the 2-time champions is because of their vulnerable batting unit. The Eastern Cape batters have failed to perform in every game and their key batters have not performed well enough.

Joburg Super Kings finished their league stage campaign at the 4th spot with 4 wins and 5 losses. Their net run rate stood at -0.208. It was a positive start for the Super Kings with two consecutive wins but soon the team lost its system and went off the track.

Like Eastern Cape, Joburg Super Kings have also struggled with phases of inconsistency in the league. To make sure they qualify for the finals, Joburg Super Kings batters need to perform at their best in the league.

In this article, we bring you the key players from both sides and the winning odds of 2nd playoff from the betting sites online.

2) Faf du Plessis - Joburg Super Kings

One of the most experienced batters from South Africa and a known face in the T20 cricket leagues across the globe - Faf du Plessis has come out as the 4th highest scorer in the league this year. He is also the leader of the Super Kings he has led the team from the front. Although, Faf is always under pressure to score runs because he is the only batter from the Super Kings who has been consistent.

3) Aiden Markram - Sunrisers Eastern Cape

Another Proteas T20 expert, Aiden Markram, has made headlines with his performance in the current season of the league. He is the highest scorer for Sunrisers Eastern Cape and the 5th highest scorer in the league. However, like Faf, the whole team is dependent on Aiden Markram to score runs and that might create some major problems for the team in the 2nd playoff.
