SA20 2025: Eliminator, JSK vs SEC Match Prediction – Who will win today’s SA20 match between JSK vs SEC?

Joburg Super Kings lock horns with Sunrisers Eastern Cape in Eliminator of the ongoing SA20 2025 at SuperSport Park, Centurion, on Wednesday, February 05. Interstingly, these two sides faced each other twice this season, with both teams winning one game, each.

Super Kings will be coming into the clash after losing their last match at the hands of Durban's Super Giants by 11 runs via the DLS method. The Faf du Plessis-led team who finished fourth in the points table, won four games out of their 10 league games. While the side has had a decent side, they managed to cruise through to the playoffs. 

On the other hand, two-time champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape held the third spot in the points tally after the end of the round-robin. In 10 games, the Aiden Markram-led team won five matches. Meanwhile, the side will be confident coming into this game, as they have experienced playing in the knockout stages in the previous two seasons. 

Match Details

Pitch Report

SuperSport Park offers good assistance to the batters while bowlers struggle. When it gets exposed to overcast conditions, the pacers will find good movement and swing therefore causing trouble to the batters. Spinners have no say in the game as the bounce without turn rules them out of favour.
