Match Preview

Pretoria Capitals

Pretoria Capitals were runners-up in the first season of SA20 but faced an early exit in SA20 2024. Determined to make a strong comeback, the Capitals have assembled a formidable squad. Their batting line-up features power hitters like Will Jacks and Liam Livingstone, while their bowling attack is bolstered by local stars such as Anrich Nortje and Wayne Parnell.

Durban’s Super Giants

Durban’s Super Giants also boast a strong roster. Their batting is led by Heinrich Klaasen, one of the best T20I batters, and their bowling unit features talented players like Naveen-ul-Haq and Noor Ahmed, making them a well-balanced side.

Weather and Pitch Report

Weather Report

The weather in Durban will be warm, with temperatures around 29°C. There is a 20% chance of rain, but it is unlikely to disrupt the game. High humidity levels of around 77% may challenge the players.

Pitch Report

The Kingsmead pitch is expected to assist bowlers initially, with movement due to high winds. However, as the game progresses and the ball loses its shine, batters are likely to find it easier to score. Seam bowlers and middle-order batters could play a crucial role.
