What is the Pitch Report for SEC vs JSK, SA20 2025, Match 19?
Fast bowlers will make the most of the wicket due to its variable bounce and seam movement, which forces the batters to play watchfully in the initial overs as a result of which the average run-rate in the powerplay hasn’t crossed the 6-run mark this season.
Wickets in hand will be crucial as the teams have accelerated quite well in the last 5 overs in the 1st innings with an average run rate of 10.533. Chasing more than 150 is a tough ask at this venue.

Pre-Match Analysis:
Sunrisers Eastern Cape who endured 3-losses first-up convincingly this season, now proved, what they are up to with 3 victories on the bounce to leapfrog to 3rd spot in the standings. All of those wins have yielded two-time champions a bonus point each and they have accumulated overall 15 points. After securing an away 58-run win over Durban’s Super Giants, they extended the winning margin with back-to-back home wins over Durban’s Super Giants and Pretoria Capitals.
Skipper Aiden Markram played the rescue act with an unbeaten 68* over Pretoria Capitals to take the team to 149 for 7 in 20 overs. Later the bowlers responded well to dismiss Capitals for just 97, where Marco Jansen (4 wickets) and Liam Dawson (3 wickets) excelled with the ball. Despite tasting success of late, the concerns mount for Sunrisers as their big guns, Tristan Stubbs (71 runs), Zak Crawley (82 runs), and David Bedingham (59 runs), haven’t played to their potential.
Joburg Super Kings, who made a staggering start, collecting 10 points from 3 matches ( 2 wins and a no result) have suffered a mini setback, going down pretty easily against Paarl Royals and MI Cape Town by 6 wickets and 7 wickets respectively. Scores of 172 and 146 don’t win matches all the time, and they need to emphasize making big scores going forward. Jonny Bairstow, who is on the rise this season (143 runs) needs more support in the middle order. Even they need to find the right bowling combination that is filled with plenty of spinners. With Gerald Coetzee ruled out with an injury and Matheesha Pathirana going for heavy runs, Super Kings needs a breakthrough pacer.
Currently, they are placed 4th in the standings with 10 points.
