Journey to the Final

The final features the two most consistent sides of the 2025ā€“26 campaign. The Sunrisers Eastern Cape, captained by Tristan Stubbs, finished at the top of the league table. Although they suffered a setback against the Capitals in Qualifier 1, they showed their champion pedigree by comfortably defeating the Paarl Royals in Qualifier 2 to secure their fourth consecutive final appearance.

The Pretoria Capitals have enjoyed a resurgence under the guidance of head coach Sourav Ganguly. After failing to make the playoffs in the previous two seasons, the franchise revamped its leadership and strategy. This reset has paid dividends, with the team peaking at the right time. Led by captain Keshav Maharaj and powered by the explosive batting of Dewald Brevis and Shai Hope, the Capitals arrive in Cape Town well-rested and as the only team to have beaten the Sunrisers twice this week.
