Sipamla to Crawley, no ball, Oh outstanding start. That was just a full delivery, just a floaty one put up there, but Crawley's got sucked into a big drive and this went through the gate to knock out the off stump. He does have trouble with nip-backers and this one did and it may well have kept a shade low as well. Hang on, they are checking the front foot. Oh dear, Sipamla has just overstepped. What a shame! He bowled the perfect ball for Crawley and got him but it has been undone
Crawley and Bedingham are at the crease. Crawley is on strike. Sipamla will open the attack

Pitch report: "There are a couple of bare patches and a couple of spots with green spots. This could play better than the previous game althought it could be a bit two-paced," opines Vernon Philander. "54m and 67m side boundaries, 74m hit down the ground," says Mike Haysman.
So JSK have made a total of 14 changes in the last 4 games. So unlike them but that's what they been pushed into doing because of the injuries.
Faf du Plessis | JSK captain: Looking at the matches on TV it looked like it had grass, maybe this one has a bit lesser. We have had to reshuffle quite a bit, make 2-3 changes
Aiden Markram | SEC captain: We are going to bat first. Was a bit unsure to be fair with the way it went in the last two games. Typical PE wicket, should hold together and hopefully we can bat well. Pretty much kept it simple, hitting the hard length has been helpful. Unchanged!

Sunrisers Eastern Cape have won the toss and have opted to bat
We are going to have great cricket-weather. Out of the three games we had a fairly high-scorer only once. What kind of pitch will be rolled out today? We will find out more shortly...
When the Sunrisers are in Gqeberha it's an absolute party for the fans. They have the famous St. George's Park Brass Band that plays here for all matches. They sing, they dance, they chant, they get right behind their team... this is one of the best atmospheres you will get in SA20 when the Orange Army is in full flow. The Sunrisers are riding high after a hat-trick of wins as well.
