SA20 match 27 preview

The winner of this match will be the 2nd team to officially make it to the playoffs of the Betway SA20. The Super Kings will be hoping they can stay unbeaten at home having won 2 and 1 match washed-out. 

The Sunrisers will want to return to winning ways before they the playoffs as they look likely to make the playoffs. This is their last game before the playoffs so finishing the league phase on a winning note will be a big boost for them. 

There could be weather around and if that happens and the match is washed out then both teams will be through to the playoffs. This will mean MI Cape Town are officially out of the SA20. IF the Sunrisers win then MI Cape Town still has a chance if they beat Super Kings on Monday by a bonus point. A Sunrisers win will also boost the Super Giants' chances of making the playoffs as well. 

In the context of the SA20, this is a big match as this could leave the competition wide open going into the last 2 days of the league phase before the playoffs.

Sunrisers proved too good for Super Giants beating them by 89 runs to not only successfully defend their SA20 title but also win the head-to-head between the 2 teams 3-1.  SA20 season 2 saw some unbelievable performances with quite a few young South African players taking the opportunity and shining.
