SA20 2024
‘Ye kaisi start hui’ – Fans react as opening match of SA20 2024 gets called off due to rain
All eyes now shift to Durban where the Durban Super Giants will host the MI Cape Town tomorrow.
Today at the SA20 2024 opener, a few well-known names and logos had been anticipated to be on show. The crowd were excited to watch the champion Sunrisers Eastern Cape play the Johannesburg Super Kings today. Faf du Plessis was against Aiden Markram.
Sadly, rain caused today’s SA20 2024 match between the Sunrisers Eastern Cape and the Johannesburg Super Kings at St George’s Park, Port Elizabeth, to be called off before a ball was played. Rain was a strong possibility throughout the duration of the game. With the weather predicted to be on the chilly side, there was already a 42% chance of rain.
Aiden Markram, the seasoned Proteas player, will be leading Sunrisers Eastern Cape this season. With 366 runs scored in the last edition, the ace all-rounder led his team in all departments. In the meantime, the Faf du Plessis-led Johannesburg Super Kings will still have to wait to get their revenge on the SEC for their semifinal loss from the previous season. Faf du Plessis will be looking for the next set of fixtures in order to prove everyone about his skill and temperament at this age. He looks to be in the South African team for the T20 World Cup 2024 later this year.
What is the pitch and weather report for tomorrow’s game?
The second match of the SA20 2024 will see the MI Cape Town take on the Durban Super Giants in Durban. The Kingsmead field in Durban has a well-balanced pitch. Here, the toss is of little significance because the side batting first has prevailed in 50% of its games. Depending on the state of the ground, the winning side may choose to bat first.
The temperature will be close to 24 degrees Celsius and the humidity will be approximately 93%. It is predicted to be cloudy throughout the game, which might facilitate the movement of the pacers. There is a chance of light rain, which might change the scenario altogether.
