Durban's Super Giants Form

Durban's Super Giants slipped to their third defeat in four matches when they lost to the Capitals by 15 runs.

Jos Buttler is 6th on the SA20 runs list after his valiant 97* in the defeat against the Capitals. DSG will be looking for some big contributions from Kane Williamson, Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen, none of whom have passed 40 this season.

Their bowlers have struggled, conceding over 200 runs in an innings three times in their five matches. Simon Harmer has been their most economical bowler, taking three wickets at an economy rate of just 5.90. Eathan Bosch is their leading wicket-taker with five wickets at an average of 23.40.

The Sunrisers picked up their third win in five games when they beat the Capitals by 10 wickets.

Quinton de Kock is enjoying a rich vein of form, scoring between 42 and 106 in six of his last nine whiteball innings. Jonny Bairstow started the SA20 season slowly but burst into gear scoring 85* in the 10-wicket win over the Capitals.

Anrich Nortje has been fired up this season and is joint 2nd on the wickets list with nine wickets at an average of 11.22 and a strike-rate of 9.33. He was superb in the win over the Capitals, taking 3/32 at an economy rate of 8.00. Adam Milne is 5th on the wickets list with eight wickets (ave 11.25, econ 6.42), including 2/36 (econ 9.00) against the Capitals.

Sunrisers skipper Tristan Stubbs was delighted with his side’s big win over the Capitals: “We were happy with the target and thought it would get better under lights. We've built a culture where we play as hard as we can in the field. The fast bowlers have so much composure and know what they have to do,” said Stubbs.

Durban's Super Giants (possible XI): Kane Williamson, Marques Ackerman, Jos Butler, Aiden Markram (c), Heinrich Klassen, Evan Jones, David Wiese, Sunil Narine, Noor Ahmad, Gerald Coetzee, Kwena Maphaka.
