Pretoria Capitals vs Durban's Super Giants Predictions

With three wins from three - plus a bonus point - Durban’s Super Giants are looking dominant at the top of the table. Last year’s table-toppers Pretoria Capitals are rock bottom after two losses from two matches against Paarl Royals.

Durban's Super Giants’ Heinrich Klaasen (162 runs) is 3rd on the SA20 runs list.
Durban's Super Giants’ JJ Smuts top-scored with 75 in the win over Sunrisers.
Pretoria Capitals’ Rilee Rossouw scored 82 off 45 balls in the loss to Paarl Royals.
Pretoria Capitals’ Will Jacks scored 58 off 34 balls against Paarl Royals.

Head-to-Head

The two teams met twice last season, with each side claiming one win.

Pretoria Capitals Form

Pretoria Capitals are struggling to get into gear in 2024, losing their opening two matches against Paarl Royals.

In the second match, the Royals posted 210/3 off their 20 overs, Adil Rashid (1/31) the pick of the bowlers.

After scoring just 133/7 in their first match against the Royals, the Capitals hit their straps with the bat, Rilee Rossouw slamming 84 off 45 balls, but they fell 10 runs short of their target.

Pretoria Capitals Team News

Pretoria Capitals look to be finding form so are unlikely to make any changes for the next match or two.

Durban's Super Giants Form

Durban's Super Giants kept their unbeaten record intact by beating the Joburg Super Kings by 37 runs.

The Giants were restricted to 145/8 off their 20 overs. Heinrich Klaasen continued his fine form, smashing 64 off 41 balls.

The Giants bowled superbly to limit the Super Kings to 108/9 off their 20 overs. Reece Topley (3/19), Richard Gleeson (2/22) and Kesh Maharaj (2/17) all bowled superbly to strangle the Kings batters.
