Teams Preview
Johannesburg Superkings
The last edition’s runner-up The Super Kings have started this season brilliantly, having won both their games so far. With the ball, they’ve been outstanding, in particular, having not allowed the opponents to even cross over the 150-run mark. While veteran David Wiese has been exemplary with the new ball, conceding just five runs per over in two games with two wickets to show for.
The arrival of the scathing spin duo of Tahir-Shamsi delivered immediate results in the last fixture, having shared three wickets between them. But the biggest revelation came from Donovan Ferreira’s off-break, who is not known much for his bowling, registered his best figures of 2/15 in SAT20.
On the batting front, the Plesis-led group has adjusted superbly to the conditions as they’ve played on the wickets that have been on the slower side. However, the two-time semifinalist would expect their batters to convert their starts, with none of their batters having scored a fifty. They could rope in Moeen Ali, who can provide the flexibility in all the facets in place of either of the keeper-bats, Devon Conway or Jonny Bairstow, who have both been short on runs presently.
Joburg Super Kings Probable Playing XI: Devon Conway, Faf du Plessis (C), Leus du Plooy, Jonny Bairstow/Moeen Ali, Wihan Lubbe,David Wiese, Donovan Ferreira, Tabraiz Shamsi, Matheesha Pathirana, Gerald Coetzee, Imran Tahir
Pretoria Capitals
After being on the wrong side of a result in a nail-biting thriller and a washed-out game, the Capitals finally bring their A game to beat the Sunrisers Eastern Cape comfortably by six wickets while securing bonus points as well. The chief architect of Capitals’ commanding win was their bowlers, with Dolphins fastman Daryn Dupavillon, who claimed 3/32.
With Senuraman Muthuswamy continuing to outfox the batters with his wily left-arm spin, he has taken five wickets—the joint most in the initial days of the league. Neesham and Bosh have also chipped in expertly.
While the batter came out swinging in the opening encounter, they combined caution with aggression to snatch the bonus points against the defending champions. Will Jacks came out with intent again, but Gurbaz, who smacked 89 in the opener, fell cheaply. Marques Ackerman’s steady unbeaten 39 gets them across the line. However, Captain Rilee Rossouw’s poor show of 01 and 12 has been a concern, and he would be desperate to get off the hook.
Pretoria Capitals Probable Playing XI: Will Jacks, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rilee Rossouw (c), Senuran Muthusamy, Liam Livingstone, James Neesham, Kyle Verreynne (wk), Marques Ackerman, Miguel Pretorius, Ethan Bosch, Daryn Dupavillon
