SA20 2025: Eliminator, JSK vs SEC Match Prediction, Fantasy Cricket, Head to Head

The SA20 2025 playoffs are getting hotter. On Wednesday, February 5, Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) and Johannesburg Super Kings (JSK) will square off in the Eliminator at SuperSport Park in Centurion. For both parties, the outcome is easy: win and live, lose and return home.

The Super Kings will enter the contest having lost their previous game by 11 runs using the DLS system to Durban's Super Giants. Now that they have momentum, the SEC will be eager to continue their winning streak and take another step toward championship defence. However, following the round-robin, Sunrisers Eastern Cape, the two-time champions, were in third place in the points standings. To defeat a resurgent SEC team with their season on the line, JSK will need to work together.

JSK vs SEC Match Details:

SuperSport Park Pitch Report:

With more than 400 runs scored in the most recent game played here, the Centurion track has been a run-fest this season. While bowlers have struggled to control the scoring pace, batters have flourished. Spinners will need to rely on tight lines and variations to be effective, while pacers will want to take advantage of the new ball, so expect high-scoring pyrotechnics.

Weather Report:

With a 40% probability of rain and thunderstorms predicted in some places, the weather for the SA20 Eliminator could be a little unpredictable. With a temperature of about 21°C and a humidity of 73%, the weather may be a little heavy. With 1.0 mm of rain predicted, there is some worry about disruptions, but hopefully, the weather holds out for the entire game.

Head to Head:

JSK vs SEC Predicted Playing XI:

Joburg Super Kings Probable Squad: Leus du Plooy, Moeen Ali, Wihan Lubbe, Sibonelo Makhanya, Donovan Ferreira, Hardus Viljoen, Maheesh Theekshana, Tabraiz Shamsi, Lutho Sipamla, Devon Conway (w), and Faf du Plessis (c).
