Durban's Super Giants vs Pretoria Capitals Predictions

Both sides have just one win in five, but the Super Giants have been hampered by two rained-out matches, while the Capitals have lost three of their five matches. The Capitals batters are struggling for runs, so I’m backing a win for the Super Giants.

Head-to-Head

Durban's Super Giants have won two and lost one of their last five SA20 matches against Pretoria Capitals. This match is the second in a back-to-back clash, but the first match was rained-out.

Durban's Super Giants Form

The Super Giants have experienced back-to-back defeats, including a loss to the Super Kings in the Super Over. Their last match was rained-out.

While Devon Conway began the series with impressive, explosive innings, and both Aiden Markram and Kane Williamson have contributed decent knocks, none have yet reached a score of 40. The standout performer has been Evan Jones, a surprise star, who has slapped 91 runs at an average of 45.50 and a high strike-rate of 182.00.

The bowling attack has seen some strong individual performances. Left-arm wrist-spinner Noor Ahmad was exceptional in the victory over the Super Kings, taking three wickets for just 12 runs in his four overs (an economy rate of 3.00). Simon Harmer also features prominently on the SA20 economy rate list, having claimed three wickets at an average of 19.66 and a tight economy rate of 5.90.

Pretoria Capitals Form

The Capitals slipped to their third defeat in five matches when they lost to the Sunrisers by 10 wickets.

Shai Hope has shown signs of his class with scores of 45 and 36, but the Capitals need more from one of the world’s in-form white-ball batters. Wihan Lubbe’s innings of 60 and 21 have been valuable, but he will be hoping to string more big scores together. Sherfane Rutherford has outdone himself with his power hitting and is fifth in the SA20 runs list with 119 runs (ave 119.00, S/R 212.50).

Record signing Dewald Brevis has a top score this season of just 36*. Connor Esterhuizen ended a string of three single-figure scores by blasting 52 off 33 balls against the Sunrisers. Tymal Mills is their leading wicket-taker with five wickets (econ 7.97), while Sherfane Rutherford and Bryce Parsons have each picked up four wickets.

Pretoria Capitals skipper Keshav Maharaj admitted that his side’s score of 176 against the Sunrisers wasn’t enough to truly stretch their opponents. “It was not a traditional SuperSport wicket and we didn't start well with the ball. It didn't seem like too much energy on the field. We were a touch too full at the start and gave them width. We got to dust ourselves off and bounce back quickly. Disappointing to have two losses in front of the home crowd," said Maharaj.

Pretoria Capitals (squad): Keshav Maharaj (c), Jordan Cox (w), Connor Esterhuizen (w), Daniel Smith (w), Meeka-eel Prince (w), Shai Hope (w), Dewald Brevis, Wihan Lubbe, Sibonelo Makhanya, Sherfane Rutherford, Will Smeed, Roston Chase, Codi Yusuf, Andre Russell, Bryce Parsons, Junaid Dawood, Keith Dudgeon, Tymal Mills, Lungi Ngidi, Gideon Peters and Lizaad Williams.

Durban's Super Giants (squad):Aiden Markram (c), Jos Buttler (w), Devon Conway (w), Heinrich Klaasen (w), Marques Ackerman, David Bedingham, Tony de Zorzi, Kane Williamson, Dayyan Galiem, Evan Jones, Sunil Narine, Andile Simelane, David Wiese, Eathan Bosch, Gerald Coetzee, Daryn Dupavillon, Kwena Maphaka, Noor Ahmad and Gysbert Wege.
