Sunrisers Eastern Cape is filled with all-rounders who contribute impactfully with both bat and ball. Aiden Markram will be leading the unit while JJ Smuts Willl also further strengthen the batting lineup. Jordan Hermann, Sarel Erwee, Adam Rossington and Jordan Cox can be the opening options while Tom Abell, Tristan Stubbs and Tom Abell can provide support down the order. 

Sunrisers have pacer Marco Jansen to lead their bowling attack in the inaugural season of the SA20. Brydon Carse and Sisanda Magala Willl comprise the pace department while R van der Merwe and Mason Crane Willl head the spin department. James Fuller and Junaid Dawodd are also available bowling options for the Sunrisers. 

Pretoria Capitals top order Willl have a huge task of performing on a bowler-friendly pitch in Port Elizabeth. Phil Salt, Willl Jacks and Rilee Rossouw Willl bat at the top of the order and would have to do the majority of the scoring as the middle order comprising of Theunis de Bruyn & Marco Marais is inexperienced, and will be supported by Jimmy Neesham down the order. 

Apart from the top three, Capitals have a strong bottom three as well in pacers Anrich Nortje and Joshua Little along with spinner Adil Rashid. Migael Pretorius and captain Wayne Parnell Willl contribute to form the bowling unit which would be hopeful to cover for a hole in the team's middle order.
