Joburg Super Kings
This is a quick turnaround for JSK who were in action away to MI Cape Town on Monday and they won an 8 overs a side contest by 10 wickets. MI's innings was interrupted by rain and closed on 80/3. Those circumstances handed the advantage to JSK and Leus du Plooy (41) and Faf du Plessis (50) took them home in just 5.4 overs.
That was just a second win for JSK alongside 4 defeats and 2 no results. At the time of writing they moved into the fourth and final play off spot with 13 points although the fifth placed Capitals are only 3 points back and they have a game in hand.
The first clash with the Sunrisers this season was washed out and after this JSK finish up at home to the Super Giants.
This was how the Super Kings lined up last time out.
Faf du Plessis (c), Reeza Hendricks, Leus du Plooy, Wayne Madsen, Moeen Ali, Donovan Ferreira (wk), David Wiese, Lizaad Williams, Nandre Burger, Imran Tahir, Kyle Simmonds
Did not play: Sibonelo Makhanya, Romario Shepherd, Aaron Phangiso, Dayyaan Galiem, Zahir Khan, Sam Cook, Gerald Coetzee, Ronan Hermann
Sunrisers Eastern Cape
The Sunrisers Eastern Cape have 4 wins, 1 no result and 2 defeats against their name and at the tome of writing they were in third spot with 19 points, 3 behind Paarl and 9 shy of the Super Giants but with a game in hand on the top 2.
After the washout against JSK and a defeat to the Super Giants the Sunrisers subsequently won 4 of their next 5 matches. Most recently they edged out MI Cape Town by 4 runs in Port Elizabeth, defending 175/6 (Abell 60, Markram 54) and they now have their sights set on a top 2 finish.
This was how the Sunrisers lined up last time out.

The Verdict
There is plenty at stake here and JSK are under pressure given their final match is against the log leaders. I'm thinking that will bring out the best in their big hitters and with plenty of firepower in the visitors ranks as well I will go with 14 or more sixes in total.
Bets: Total Match Sixes over 13.5 points at 17/20 with Betway
