Pretoria Capitals vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape prediction
Whilst Sunrisers Eastern Cape twice defeated Pretoria Capitals comprehensively in the league stage, it was the Capitals that triumphed in the qualifier, forcing Tristan Stubbs’ side to make it through a second qualifier against Paarl Royals to reach what is their fourth SA20 final. Every final in the history of this tournament so far have involved Sunrisers, who won the first two before being thrashed last year by MI Cape Town, denying them a ‘three-peat’. Despite a new captain, Sunrisers remain as formidable as ever.
Pretoria Capitals will hope Dewald Brevis picks up where he left off in the first qualifier, his unbeaten 73 proving crucial in their seven-wicket win over Sunrisers. But this is a new match and T20i can quickly flip the fortunes of a player. Sunrisers have so much experience when it comes to finals and that cannot be underestimated with the likes of Marco Jansen, Anrich Nortje, Chris Green and Lewis Gregory looking to shut down this Pretoria line-up.
We should be in for a close contest, a rematch of the inaugural SA20 final. Sunrisers have momentum after winning the second qualifier, whilst Pretoria have had to wait two days longer to get back out onto the field. When you factor the record of Sunrisers in these finals, they are the team to back.
