Match Preview
Sunrisers Eastern Cape are currently second on the points table with 12 points. They have shown strong form overall, especially with the ball. However, they are coming off a batting collapse in their last completed match and will be eager to bounce back quickly.
Pretoria Capitals are placed fifth on the table and need wins badly to stay in the playoff race. Playing at home gives them confidence, and their recent performances with both bat and ball have shown improvement. A win here can completely change their tournament momentum.
Rain remains a concern, and a shortened game may favour power-hitters and all-rounders.
