Sunrisers Eastern Cape have excelled in their batting department, but their bowling lineup faces significant challenges. Marco Jansen, in particular, has fallen short of expectations, struggling to contain the opposition's run rate. Despite his subpar performance against MI Cape Town, Jansen, well-acquainted with Kingsmead, possesses the ability to exploit the pitch, generating bounce and delivering quick deliveries that can trouble the batters.
