SA20 match 33 preview

The final of the inaugural SA20 has finally arrived and the 2 teams remaining are the Capitals and the Sunrisers who have been the 2 best teams in the competition. The Wanderers will be buzzing tomorrow as the Capitals will have the support of the Joburg fans considering they are the team from Gauteng.

The pitch will be high-scoring, and if batsmen apply themselves, many runs will be scored. The batsman to watch out for will be the top 5 of both sides in Salt, Mendis, Rossington, Bavuma, De Bruyn, Rossouw, Hermann, Markram, Ingram and Stubbs.

I think the team that wins the toss will choose to bowl considering there is a bit of rain around and the wicket might be a bit tacky to start. Considering it's a final I would prefer to bat and put the runs on the board. The pressure of chasing in a final is always tough to handle and will require nerves of steel no doubt both teams have the players to pull off a high-pressure chase and we might see a star emerge for SA cricket out of that situation.

I'm going with the Sunrisers to win, and I see Markram playing another captain knock with Bavuma and Hermann contributing alongside him. Magala, Van der Merwe and Jansen will lead the bowling attack and be the main difference makers.
