SA20 2024 Final Match Predictions
It’s not long ago when we saw the Sunrisers Eastern Cape defeating the Durban Super Giants in the qualifier-1 by 51 runs. After winning this match, they became the first finalists. Durban Super Giants were given the second chance because of their position in points table. In the second qualifier, the Giants defeated the Joburg Super Kings and entered the final match.
After witnessing the 33 matches in this tournament we finally have our finalists ready to compete for the trophy. Both teams have played 10 matches this season and won 7. The Sunrisers Eastern Cape are at the top of the table with 33 points. On the other hand, the Durban Super Giants after winning their previous match took second place in the points table with 32 points. However, the points table no longer matters. All that matters now is who performs better in the final battle. Here are the few players predicted to do well in the match:
Batters:
- Aiden Markram
- Heinrich Klaasen
- Quinton de Kock
Bowlers:
- Marco Jansen
- Junior Dala
- Ottneil Baartman
While choosing the captain, you can consider the names of Heinrich Klaasen and Junior Dala. For the vice-captain, Aiden Markram, and Marco Jansen are the two preferred players. When two teams are so well-matched, it’s hard to guess who will dominate the game. Durban Super Giants are looking strong but the Sunrisers Eastern Cape are coming from 5 victories in a row. Momentum is on the side of Sunrisers and that’s why the cricket experts are predicting them to be the match-winners.

Pitch And Wheather Report
The SA20 2024 final match SEC vs DSG is scheduled to be played at the Newlands stadium. The pitch in this ground is known for helping both spinners and fast bowlers. The batting here will be a little difficult as we saw in the first qualifier which was played here in this same ground. The average score in the first innings is around 150 runs. The chasing is also difficult and that is why the toss winner will likely choose to bat first.
The final match last year was canceled due to rain, we hope that won’t happen this year. According to the weather forecast, windy weather with a temperature of around 22 degrees Celsius is predicted. The rain is less likely to disturb the match.
Head-To-Head
These two teams have collided 4 times. Last year we saw two matches between them and the Sunrisers Eastern Cape won both. However, in this tournament, the Durban Super Giants registered their first win against the Sunrisers on 13 January when they won by 25 runs. The most recent match between them occurred just a few days ago in the first qualifiers where we saw the Sunrisers defeating the Giants for the third time.
