Pretoria Capitals vs Durban's Super Giants Predictions


The Super Giants got off to a flying start in the opener against MI Cape Town, before a rained-out match and back-to-back defeats reined them in. The Capitals started with two defeats before handing MI Cape Town an 85-run hammering. With home ground advantage they should have the beating of their visitors.

  • Pretoria Capitals’ Shai Hope has scored 36 & 45 in his last two innings.
  • Pretoria Capitals’ Sherfane Rutherford has scored 44, 25 & 47* in his last 3 innings.
  • Durban's Super Giants’ Evan Jones has scored 33*, 15 & 43 in his 3 SA20 innings.
  • Durban's Super Giants’ Aiden Markram has scored 35, 22 & 37 in his 3 SA20 innings.

Head-to-Head


The Super Giants have beaten the Capitals in three of their last five matches, losing one match, while the fifth match was rained-out.

Pretoria Capitals Form


Pretoria Capitals picked up their first win of the season when they beat MI Cape Town by 85 runs.

Will Smeed, Bryce Parsons and Wihan Lubbe have added some valuable runs, but the big ticket heroes have been big-hitting Sherfane Rutherford and Shai Hope. Rutherford was Player of the Match in the win over MI Cape Town, smashing 47* off just 15 balls and knocking over three of MI Cape Town’s top seven in taking 4/24

Tymal Mills has picked up with five wickets in his three outings in the SA20 at 15 runs a piece (econ 7.25). Skipper Keshav Maharaj picked up 3/28 against MI Cape Town,  Lizaad Williams have picked up a wicket a match but T20 legend Lungi Ngidi has yet to find his best form.

Durban's Super Giants Form


The Super Giants suffered back-to-back defeats when they lost to the Super Kings in the Super Over.

Devon Conway started the series with a couple of explosive innings, and Aiden Markram and Kane Williamson have put some decent knocks together but have yet to pass 40. Evan Jones has been the surprise star turn, scoring 91 runs at an average of 45.50 and strike-rate of 182.00.

Left-arm wrist-spinner Noor Ahmad bowled incredibly in the win over the Super Kings, snapping up 3/12 off his four overs (econ 3.00). Simon Harmer is second on the SA20 economy rate list, taking three wickets at an average of 19.66 and an economy rate of 5.90.

Pretoria Capitals vs Durban's Super Giants Team News


Pretoria Capitals skipper Keshav Maharaj admitted that his side had to fight back after letting their strong position in the match slide.

"We always knew that the platform Wihan Lubbe and Shai Hope provided in the middle would set things up nicely for Dewald Brevis and Sherfane Rutherford to show what they are all about. It was some phenomenal, clean hitting that you don't often see. It was some truly amazing ball striking from Sherfane at the end. After two disappointing losses where it felt like we only played half a game well, seeing a clinical performance like this is very encouraging. Hopefully, we can carry this momentum into our two home games at SuperSport Park next week," 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.

I am backing Pretoria Capitals to win, with Shai Hope to top score.
