Match Preview
Sunrisers Eastern Cape were the finalists in the previous season and finished at the top of the league stage with seven wins from ten matches. They were the most consistent side throughout the tournament and will be looking to carry that form into the new season.
Meanwhile, Paarl Royals had a mixed season last time around but still managed to qualify with five wins from ten games. They will be aiming for a positive start as they look to build momentum early in the tournament.
Marco Jansen, who has been in good form with both bat and ball in recent times and finished as the leading wicket-taker last season with 19 wickets in 13 matches, stands out as a strong choice for the captaincy role, given his value as a handy lower-order batter as well.
Sikandar Raza has also enjoyed a good run in the ongoing International League T20, where he has scored 171 runs and taken nine wickets in nine games. He will be eager to continue that form, which makes him a solid option for the vice-captaincy role.
