Pretoria Capitals have three brilliant pacers in their ranks, and they will love their home conditions for sure. The way Phil Salt batted in the last match must be a confidence booster for the side, and they would want the duo of Will Jacks and Rilee Rossouw to show their class as well.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape also have a decent squad, but they should allow players like Aiden Markram, Tristan Stubbs and Tom Abell to play more deliveries for them. JJ Smuts played a brilliant knock in the last match for the side. Marco Jansen will again lead the bowling of the side.
