The Pretoria Capitals and Durban’s Super Giants are all set to lock horns once again in Match 5 of SA20 2025 at the SuperSport Park, Centurion, on Sunday, January 12. After a nail-biting encounter in the tournament opener, both teams have a point to prove in this rematch.

For Pretoria Capitals, their last game was a tale of two halves. The opening pair of Rahmanullah Gurbaz (89) and Will Jacks (64) went berserk as they put together a blistering 154-run partnership. But just as victory seemed within reach, their middle order crumbled like a house of cards, leaving them stranded at 207/6, just 2 runs shy of Durban’s total.

The Super Giants started their campaign with a bang, thanks to their star-studded batting lineup. Skipper Kane Williamson (60)* anchored the innings beautifully, while Bryce Parsons (47) and Matthew Breetzke (33) provided a solid platform. At the death, Wiaan Mulder’s quickfire 45 off 19 turned the innings into a massive 209/4, giving their bowlers plenty to defend.

With the ball, Chris Woakes and Noor Ahmad were the pick of the bowlers, picking up two wickets each. The spin duo of Keshav Maharaj and Naveen-ul-Haq also played their part and helped the team secure a brilliant win.

The toss will play a crucial role in deciding the game’s flow.

Top 3 Captain and Vice-Captain Choices For PC vs DSG

1. Rahmanullah Gurbaz

Rahmanullah Gurbaz is the kind of player who can single-handedly change the course of a game with his fearless batting. The Afghan opener was in sublime touch in the Capitals’ opening game, smashing a blistering 89 off 43 balls, laced with three boundaries and seven maximums. He took the attack to the opposition right from the word go, dismantling the bowlers with his clean hitting. 

Gurbaz has shown that he thrives under pressure and has the ability to dominate in powerplays. His quick scoring and knack for finding gaps make him a reliable choice for captaincy. With the Centurion pitch offering pace and bounce, Gurbaz’s aggressive approach could spell trouble for the bowlers once again.

2. Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson is a master of stitching innings and leading his side with a calm head. His unbeaten 60 off 40 balls in the opening game was a prime example of his ability to anchor the innings while maintaining a healthy strike rate. 

Williamson’s classical approach to batting and his knack for finding gaps and rotating the strike, makes him a vital cog in Durban’s lineup. On a pitch like Centurion, where timing and precision are key, Williamson’s ability to adapt and build partnerships could be the game-changer. His experience and leadership skills make him an excellent choice for captain or vice-captaincy.

3. Wiaan Mulder

Wiaan Mulder was the silent assassin in the Super Giants’ first game, delivering a breathtaking cameo of 45 off just 19 balls to push his team to a formidable total. Mulder’s ability to finish innings with brute power and clean hitting is unmatched, as he showcased with his strike rate of 236.8 in the opener. 

But Mulder isn’t just about batting, his medium-pace bowling offers the perfect balance for the Super Giants. While he didn’t pick up wickets in the last game, his ability to hit the deck hard and extract bounce makes him a dangerous option at Centurion. As an all-rounder who can contribute in all departments, Mulder is a top choice for captain or vice-captain’s role.
