Pretoria Capitals (PC) and Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) meet for the second time in SA20 2025/26. Sunrisers won the first encounter by 48 runs. SuperSport Park in Centurion will host this game on 14th January 2026 at 9:00 PM IST. 

The Pretoria Capitals’ last game was washed out, but they were brilliant against MI Cape Town in the game before that. Batting first, they scored 220 runs thanks to brilliant contributions from Wihan Lubbe (60 runs), Dewald Brevis (36* runs), and Sherfane Rutherford (47* runs). 

It was a six-hitting spree from Brevis and Rutherford, combining for 10 sixes between them in 28 deliveries. Rutherford then picked up four wickets as well, with Keshav Maharaj picking up three. Pretoria will look to continue their winning momentum in this game.

Sunrisers also had their last game washed out. They’ve been in top form and are looking pretty balanced with almost all players performing well. Skipper Tristan Stubbs’ form is a concern, but others have done well. 

Quinton de Kock, Jordan Hermann, and Matthew Breetzke have been in good touch, but the middle order looks fragile with Stubbs’ being out of form’ struggles. They added Patrick Kruger and James Coles to strengthen their batting. 

Their bowlers, especially the pacers, have been in excellent rhythm. The spin department looks a bit lighter, but they’ve got options who can be useful. The Sunrisers will look to do a double on the Capitals in this game.

SuperSport Park Centurion Pitch Report and Weather

SuperSport Park is a good venue for batting. The average first innings score here was 167 runs in T20s in 2025.

Chasing sides have won 47% of the games here (in the last 5 years). There will be some movement for the pacers with the new ball, and spinners will also come into play. Teams are expected to prefer chasing.

Rain is expected throughout the day at Centurion and we might see a rain-shortened or even a washed out game. 

Fantasy Cricket Tips for PC vs SEC: Players to Watch/Key Stats

Top Wicket-Keeper Picks:  

• Quinton de Kock (126 runs) is the third-highest run scorer of SA20 2025/26 at an average of 42. He’s striking at 163.64, and has a fifty to his name. 
• De Kock scored 77 in the first game against Pretoria this season and will be someone you can’t miss in your fantasy teams.
• Shai Hope is due a big knock, and this might be the game where he does that. He is batting at a high strike rate but has failed to convert his starts into a big score. Try him as C/VC in one of your teams.

Key batter picks: 

• Dewald Brevis was phenomenal in the last game against MI. He scored 36* off just 15 balls, including four sixes. Brevis looked in excellent touch and will be a must in your fantasy teams. Try him as captain in a few teams.
• Jordan Hermann is the second-highest run scorer with 146 runs in three innings at an average of 73. His strike rate is 175.90, and he’s scored runs in almost every game for the Sunrisers.

Top all-rounder picks: 

• Marco Jansen has been far from his best this season, but he’s done well till now with the ball and can fetch points from both batting and bowling. Jansen will be a popular C/VC choice as well. 
• Andre Russell will be available for this match. He will bowl the key overs, and we all know how capable he is with the bat. Russell will be an excellent C/VC pick for this match.

Key bowler picks: 

• Anrich Nortje has six wickets in three games. He will mainly bowl in the middle and death overs for the Sunrisers. Nortje is bowling at a high pace and is looking in good rhythm. 
• Tymal Mills has five wickets in three games so far. He’s the lead pacer for the Capitals and will bowl in the powerplay and then towards the end of the innings. Mills will be a differential C/VC choice while bowling first.
• Adam Milne picked up four wickets when these two sides met earlier this season. He’s a genuine wicket-taker and can bowl in any phase of the innings. Milne is a must pick.

Other Players to Consider for Your Fantasy Cricket Team 

• Sherfane Rutherford scored 47* off just 15 in the last game, but consistency has been an issue for him. And with Andre Russell in, there are chances that he might get demoted in the batting order. But despite all this, he can be a good pick. 
• James Coles will be a good differential pick. He can bowl left-arm orthodox and can whack the ball. Cole also allows flexibility in the batting order, so he might get promoted as well. 

Alternative picks you can consider: 

• Lungi Ngidi
• Lutho Sipamla
• Jonny Bairstow
• Keshav Maharaj

SA20 2025/26 14th Match: PC vs SEC Match Prediction: Who will win?

The game will be decided between Pretoria’s middle order and Sunrisers’ pace bowlers. If it’s a rain-shortened game, then Pretoria will have the upper hand because of their explosive middle order of Brevis, Russell, and Rutherford. 

Sunrisers, meanwhile, rely heavily on their top four to do the bulk of the scoring; they have batting depth, but their middle order is not really in the best of form.

Pretoria Capitals to win this match.
