Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SUNE) will be up against Durban Super Giants (DSG) in the 5th match of the SA20 2024. The match is set to take place at St. George's Park in Gqeberha. The two teams had a different kind of start to their tournament. While DSG claimed a thrilling win against MICT thanks to the knock of Heinrich Klaasen amidst the rain interruption, SUNE did not have an opportunity to even play a ball, as their game got washed out against JSK.
DSG have a good squad led by Keshav Maharaj. they have some top players in their lineup like Kyle Mayers, Quinton De Kock, Bhanuka Rajapaksha, Heinrich Klaasen, Dwaine Pretorius, Keshav Maharaj, and Reece Topley. On the other hand, SUNE also have some terrific players like Dawid Malan, Aiden Markram, Tristan Stubbs, Marco Jansen, and Sisanda Magala. The focus of both sides would be to win the game ahead of them at Gqeberha.
DSG looks like a side with terrific batters. They have good batters at the top, in the middle, and in the lower middle orders. Even their bowling looks good, particularly the pace bowling. However, SUNE seems to thrive under the capabilities of the younger players. One cannot undermine the defending champions, after all, they know what it takes to win the tournament. that augurs well for a good contest between the two sides in the second game of the day.

SUNE vs DSG - Pitch Report
The match is set to be played at St. George's Park at Gqeberha. The wicket is good for batting and the bowlers will have a tough time in the middle. It would be a good night for the batters as compared to the bowlers.

Meanwhile, batters can be destructive in the game, especially in the powerplays and in death overs.
