The Sunrisers Eastern Cape have a dependable batting order with plenty of depth, and their bowlers provide enough variety to get the job done on many occasions.

Without that, Sunrisers Eastern Cape is the clear favorite. Considering the team combination, Sunrisers Eastern Cape is expected to win this match.
