What is the pitch report for JOH vs EAC, SA T20 League 2023, Semi-Final 2?

The wicket looks entirely flat and the batters will definitely outshine the bowlers. Even though it offers complete assistance for the batters, chasing more than 180 is tough on this wicket. Batting first is always a preferable choice here.

Pre-Match Analysis:

Joburg Super Kings has leveled up their game in the 2nd phase of the tournament having won 4 of their last 5 matches. They clinched a massive 76 run-win over MI Cape Town to end their league campaign. Despite their openers Faf du Plessis and Reeza Hendricks bagging ducks they showed real character and went on to score 189 runs on the board thanks to Lues du Plooy and Matthew Wade who made significant contributions. They bamboozled the opposition yet another time with their disciplined bowling performances. Kyle Simmonds and Gerald Coetzee are making a statement time and time again with the ball. Overseas spinner Maheesh Theekshana hasn’t gone for many runs. With 6 wins, 3 losses, and no result they finished 2nd in the standings with 27 points.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape, on the other hand, are without a win in their last 3 matches. They lost to Super Kings in their final league game by 24 runs and finished 3rd in the standings with 19 points. Temba Bavuma who was unsold in the auction initially has replaced Tom Abell in the squad and struck a well-made 50 runs against Super Kings in the losing cause. They are slightly out of confidence at the moment with results not going their way having said they have potential players in their arsenal who can change the course of the match at any time. They have got big hitters like Adam Rossington, JJ Smuts, and Tristan Stubbs and need to fire in this high-voltage clash.
