SA20 2025-26, Final: PC vs SEC

The final of SA20 2025-26 will be played between Pretoria Capitals (PC) and Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) at Newlands, Cape Town, on Sunday, January 25. This high-pressure clash will decide the SA20 champions.

Pretoria Capitals finished the league stage in second place with five wins, qualifying for the final thanks to a better net run rate. After losing twice to Eastern Cape during the league phase, the Capitals finally bounced back in Qualifier 1, beating SEC by seven wickets to book a direct place in the final. Led by Keshav Maharaj, the Capitals will be aiming to lift their first-ever SA20 title.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape topped the points table with 28 points, despite having two matches washed out due to rain. Although they lost Qualifier 1 to the Capitals, they responded strongly by defeating Paarl Royals in Qualifier 2 to reach the final. This will be a repeat of the 2023 SA20 final, and SEC will be chasing their third SA20 trophy, making them one of the most successful teams in the league.

PC vs SEC: Pitch Report

The pitch at Newlands has not been very good for batting this season. Though in the initial matches high scores have been seen, in the latest matches while chasing, teams have been losing wickets at regular intervals. Batting first and making high scores might prove to be a good option in the final match.
