Venue: St George's Park, Gqeberha, Port Elizabeth
The Pitch at Gqeberha in Port Elizabeth is one of the slowest pitches in South Africa, making the job difficult for the batters, the pitch has enough movement and swing for the fast bowlers, while spinners will get some turn once the ball gets old, the straight boundaries at this venue are big hence, it helps the spinners to toss the ball more. The team that wins the toss will look to bat first on this slowish surface.
The weather in Gqeberha will be sunny for playing Cricket. There are no rain chances in this match, and the temperatures will hover around 24°C.
The Sunrisers Eastern Cape have a better chance of winning this match against the MI Cape Town as they have a better-winning record against them
