The SA20’s 10th game of the season will take place in Centurion on Thursday between the Super Giants of Durban and the Pretoria Capitals. Pretoria is now bottom of the SA20’s six-team points table, with Durban at the top.
The Pretoria Capitals finished second in the first SA20 season in 2023, falling to the Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the final. They are off to a terrible start in 2024, having lost to the Paarl Royals twice in a row. This SA20 season, the Capitals have yet to win their opening game.
The Durban Super Giants ranked second last in 2023 but won three consecutive games in 2024. Durban has swiftly established itself as a viable challenger for the 2024 SA20 title, defeating the Joburg Super Kings, MI Cape Town, and Sunrisers Eastern Cape.
Wayne Parnell, their captain, missed both games. It will be intriguing to see if he is included in the starting lineup for this match after recovering from a shoulder injury. Parnell is a fantastic all-round player, and Pretoria is now missing the left-armer’s role when it comes to the ball.
Even if Pretoria’s opening duo is undoubtedly the most potent in the tournament, they still need Will Jacks and Phil Salt to strike consistently. In the previous match, Jacks scored fifty runs, while Salt was bowled out. Rilee Rossouw is a middle-order batsman who recently scored 82 runs against the Royals.
Daryn Dupavillon, a bowler for the Capitals, is among the fastest in the competition. He essentially fills in for Anrich Nortje, who is injured. He lacks the proper accurate balance but moves at a rate that is at least as fast as Nortje’s. Adil Rashid, an England wrist-spinner, provides Dupavillon with a respectable foil.
Pretoria Capitals Squads
James Neesham (c), Philip Salt (wk), Will Jacks, Theunis de Bruyn, Rilee Rossouw, Colin Ingram, Senuran Muthusamy, Corbin Bosch, Daryn Dupavillon, Eathan Bosch, and Adil Rashid.
Their bowling options have fared well without seamer Kyle Abbott, who was forced to withdraw from the competition owing to injury. Reece Topley from England has been invaluable. One of the top left-arm seamers in cricket today, he recently claimed three wickets in a win over the Super Kings.
Heinrich Klaasen has continued to be prominent in terms of batting. He led the team in runs scored during the previous SA20 season and leads them already this year. This season, Klaasen has scored 85, 13 not out, and 64. His most devastating work was evident in all three innings.
Durban would get one step closer to guaranteeing a spot in the playoffs with a fourth straight win. Their desire to advance farther in the tournament wouldn’t be diminished by a loss to the Capitals; rather, it would only spur them on.
Durban Super Giants Squads
Keshav Maharaj (c), Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Matthew Breetzke, Jason Smith, Quinton de Kock, Dwaine Pretorius, Wiaan Mulder, Junior Dala, Kyle Abbott, Keemo Paul, and Reece Topley.

SuperSport Park
Earlier this week, the Capitals hosted the Royals here, and the home team chose to bowl first after winning the toss. Even if that didn’t work out, the team that wins the toss this time around will probably decide to bowl first and pursue rather than establish a target.
In Centurion, rain is expected the day before the game but not on matchday. We ought to schedule a complete game.
One of the best scoring fields in South Africa is SuperSport Park. A first-inning score of at least 190 at this location can be regarded as competitive, as the Royals demonstrated with 210 earlier this week. The Centurion ground is well-known for its fast pace. Regardless, it is worthwhile to play two specialized slow bowlers here for the extra bounce, if not turn.
Pretoria Capitals and the Durban Super Giants have each won one game in the last two encounters.
