SA20 2024: Final, SEC vs DSG Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between SEC vs DSG?

Preview

Defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) have qualified for the finals of SA20 yet again and will now face a strong challenge from Durban Super Giants (DSG) at the summit clash. The Keshav Maharaj-led side suffered a defeat against Sunrisers in Qualifier 1, which forced them to play Qualifier 2 against Joburg Super Kings. However, it ended up being too easy for Durban as they won the match by 69 runs.

Sunrisers, on the other hand, will back themselves as they have the experience of handling pressure situations. In Qualifier 1, their pacers, particularly Marco Jansen and Ottniel Baartman decimated Durban batters, as they picked up four wickets each. Among batters, Dawid Malan and Markram looked to be in good touch but there is a lot of room for improvement.

Pitch Report

The surface at Newlands typically assists the bowlers. It will be a good contest between bat and bowl as anything over 165 runs on the board can decide the fate of the game. Batting first will be ideal as putting runs on the board first on a final can prove to be decisive.
