Durban’s Super Giants Betting Analysis

Quinton de Kock was back in the runs last time out for Durban’s Super Giants, top scoring with a half-century in his side’s 28-run defeat at the hands of Joburg Super Kings. So far, De Kock has racked up 70 runs and will want to exceed the 100-run mark come the conclusion of this match, so backing him to gain another 30+ runs here may wind up being a smart move from a betting point of view.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape Betting Analysis

Sunrisers Eastern Cape have not just lost all their league stage games so far, they’ve lost them all convincingly. This despite the efforts of captain Aiden Markram, who has added 101 runs across three innings, one of just six players to have already reached three figures in this season’s SA20. When taking into account the lack of form currently plaguing his teammates, it makes sense backing Markram to top score here for Sunrisers.

Durban’s Super Giants vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape Expert Prediction

On paper a formidable batting line-up, numerous players not at their best and struggling to get on top of opposition bowlers has really stunted Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Their bowlers are also struggling to stem the flow of runs, with the likes of Ottneil Baartman being taken down after dominating last season. This opens the door for Durban’s Super Giants, who have been inconsistently but are in a prime spot to capitalise on Sunrisers’ bad patch.
