Match Overview:
The Durban Super Giants (DSG) and Pretoria Capitals (PC) will clash in an exciting second match of the SA20 2024-25 season. Both teams will look to set the tone for their campaigns with strong performances in this fixture.
Durban Super Giants:
DSG will aim to recover from their disappointing loss in the SA20 2024 final against Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Despite a strong batting lineup featuring Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen, their collapse in the final highlighted inconsistencies. Keshav Maharaj will lead a balanced side with potent bowlers like Naveen-ul-Haq and all-rounders like Wiaan Mulder and Dwaine Pretorius.
Pretoria Capitals:
PC comes into this match after a dramatic victory over MI Cape Town in their last outing of SA20 2024. With players like Rilee Rossouw and Rahmanullah Gurbaz forming a destructive top order and Wayne Parnell leading their bowling unit, the Capitals are a well-rounded team. Their all-round depth will be a key factor in the game.
