The Wanderers Stadium will host the second qualifying match of the 2024 SA20, pitting the Joburg Super Kings against Durban’s Super Giants for a chance to face Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the championship game. The Super Giants lost to the Sunrisers in Qualifier 1, while the Super Kings defeated the Paarl Royals on Wednesday in the Eliminator. On Thursday, February 8, at 17:30 local time in Johannesburg, the game will begin.
Only three games have been lost by the Durban Super Giants this season, and those two losses have occurred in their last two games. Although there won’t be as much confidence as there was early in the competition, the Super Giants still have a lot of players who can win games.
Despite being unimpressive for most of the group stage, the Joburg Super Kings made it into the top four and appeared to be in peak form at the ideal moment in the competition. They should be fierce competitors in this Qualifier 2 match.
Before Qualifier 1, Durban’s Super Giants made one change: Junior Dala entered the team in place of Keemo Paul, who was leaving for the T20I series between Australia and the West Indies. We do not anticipate any changes to Dala’s starting position for this game.
Heinrich Klaasen, 32, continued his aggressive and productive batting style throughout the tournament, hitting two additional sixes in the Qualifier 1. With 386 runs scored thus far this season, starter Matthew Breetzke leads the Durban Super Giants in scoring.
The captain, Keshav Maharaj, would love bowling on this Wanderers Stadium surface; in the previous game, he got rid of Tom Abell and Jordan Hermann. Junior Dala, a seasoned right-arm medium pacer with an excellent strike rate of 8.00, has only participated in three games during the 2024 SA20.

Sam Cook got his first-ever chance to play in the Joburg Super Kings XI in the Eliminator this season because of an injury sustained by crucial bowler Lizaad Williams. Given that Williams is not anticipated to return for this match, Wayne Madsen will also be absent because of the four overseas player restrictions.
At the Wanderers Stadium on Wednesday, Faf du Plessis, the captain, struck 55 not out from 34 balls at the top of the order with three sixes and three fours. The left-hander Leus du Plooy, who is playing brilliantly, has risen the order during this competition. In this SA20, he is averaging 40.77 with three half-centuries.
The 26-year-old right-arm medium-fast bowler Sam Cook has long been predicted for international honors. In the Eliminator, he made a strong case for himself by taking out Mitchell Van Buuren and Jos Buttler in three balls or less. In the last game, Imran Tahir, a seasoned left-arm wrist spinner, claimed the wickets of David Miller and Bjorn Fortuin. He would like to use this pitch for bowling again in this encounter.

The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg
We anticipate that both teams will prefer to field first if they win the toss prior to this match, as the Johannesburg Super Kings won by 9 wickets with 40 balls remaining on Wednesday at this location while fielding first. The prediction for Thursday evening in Johannesburg is for mostly cloudy conditions with a high of twenty degrees Celsius and no chance of rain.
This is still a good batting pitch even if Paarl Royals were bowled for 138 in the Wanderers Stadium Eliminator. The surface has some pace, but the spinners will also experience some bounce and turn.
In their last four matches, Joburg Super Kings won three matches and Durban Super Giants won one.
