Bottom placed Durban Super Giants are set to clash against second-placed Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the 25th match of SA20 2023. 

DUR vs EAC: Match Preview:

In the reverse fixture between Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Durban Super Giants, Sunrisers thrashed Super Giants by 124 runs. While openers Adam Rossington (72) and Jordan Hermann (59) scored fifties, ace spinner Roelof van der Merwe grabbed 6 wickets to bowl out DSG for 86 runs. 

Heinrich Klaasen has been the top scorer for Durban's Super Giants with 259 runs in 8 matches at a strike rate of 146.32, while captain Quinton de Kock has added 228 runs at a strike rate of 143.39. Opener Kyle Mayers, who scored 163 runs in 7 matches, has left for national duty along with Jason Holder. Australian batter Ben McDermott and English all-rounder David Willey have been added as replacements, hopefully, to turn around the fortune for Durban's Super Giants. 

In the bowling department, Dwaine Pretorius has been the highest wicket-taker with 8 wickets in 5 innings. English pacer Reece Topley has picked up 7 wickets in the season while spinner Prenelan Subrayen has grabbed 6 wickets in 6 matches. 

For Sunrisers, captain Aiden Markram has been the top run-getter with 200 runs to his name in 8 matches. JJ Smuts has scored 193 runs in 6 innings while Tristan Stubbs has registered 160 runs in 8 matches. Stubbs hasn't been his usual self in the tournament and the Sunrisers would be hoping for the explosive batter to gain his original form. Sunrisers have also added South African limited overs captain Temba Bavuma to their squad to further strengthen the squad. 

Roelof van der Merwe has been sensational with the ball ever since he was brought in and is the highest wicket-taker for Sunrisers this season with 14 wickets in 6 innings. Ottniel Baartman and Sisanda Magala have also been decent in their performance with 9 wickets each to their name. However, Baartman has picked these 9 wickets in just 4 matches while Sisanda Magala has picked 9 wickets in 8 matches. Aiden Markram has also been effective with the ball with 8 wickets to his name.
