Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Joburg Super Kings, SA20 Eliminator Highlights: SEC eject JSK with 32-run win, progress to Qualifier 2

Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs Joburg Super Kings, SA20 Eliminator Live score: With MI Cape Town having clinched their spot in the SA20 final, attention now turns to the crucial Eliminator at Centurion between Joburg Super Kings (JSK) and defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC). The result in today's match will decide who stays in contention to reach the final and who returns home.

The victorious side will advance to face Paarl Royals (PR) in Qualifier 2 tomorow.

For JSK, this contest carries additional significance beyond being a knockout match. It presents an opportunity for redemption following their Season 1 semi-final defeat to SEC at this same ground, when SEC captain Aiden Markram's brilliant century proved decisive in ending JSK's championship aspirations.

JSK are resolved to alter the outcome this time and halt SEC's pursuit of a third straight title. They approach this fixture with heightened intensity, knowing their primary performers must deliver exceptional performances to overcome the title-holders.
