JSK vs PC: Match 10 Preview
Joburg Super Kings
Joburg Super Kings have been unstoppable so far, winning both their games with authority. In their last match against Durban’s Super Giants, they showcased their depth. Batting first, Leus du Plooy anchored the innings with a solid 38, while contributions from Jonny Bairstow (26), Devon Conway (22), and Donovan Ferreira (26) ensured they posted a competitive 169/7.
The bowlers then took charge, delivering a clinical performance. Gerald Coetzee, Donovan Ferreira, and Tabraiz Shamsi each bagged two wickets, while veterans David Wiese, Imran Tahir, and Matheesha Pathirana chipped in with one apiece to bundle Durban out for 141. The Kings are on a roll and will look to make it three wins on the trot.
Pretoria Capitals
Pretoria Capitals have had a mixed bag of results in their three matches so far, with one win, one loss, and one no-result. However, they head into this game on the back of a dominant six-wicket win against Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Their bowlers were on fire, skittling out Sunrisers for a paltry 113.
Daryn Dupavillon led the charge with three wickets, while Eathan Bosch, Jimmy Neesham, and Senuran Muthuswamy picked up two wickets each. The chase was a cakewalk for the Capitals, thanks to Marques Ackerman, who remained unbeaten on 39, and Will Jacks, who contributed a brisk 27. With a win under their belt, the Capitals will aim to carry the momentum forward.
JSK vs PC: Weather And Pitch Report
Weather
It’s going to be a damp evening at The Wanderers Stadium, with cloudy skies and a 40% chance of thunderstorms looming over the match. The temperature will hover around a cool 17°C, but the real feel is slightly chillier due to high humidity levels at 89%. Winds from the south at 11 km/h with gusts reaching up to 26 km/h might add some swing for the bowlers. With 99% cloud cover and a visibility of just 5 km, teams will need to keep an eye on the rain gods, as 1 mm of rain is expected. Fingers crossed for uninterrupted play.
Pitch Report
The Wanderers Stadium offers a balanced surface which keeps both batters and bowlers in the game. The average first-innings score here hovers around 160, and pacers tend to thrive with the new ball, extracting lateral movement in the air. Spinners might get some purchase in the middle overs but will generally have to work hard due to minimal turn. The early overs will be a test for batters, but the pitch tends to ease out as the game progresses. With dew likely to play a role and a history of successful run chases at this venue, teams winning the toss are likely to bowl first.

JSK vs PC: Fantasy Cricket Tips
Gerald Coetzee can be a solid pick for fantasy teams, given his wicket-taking form and ability to bowl in pressure situations. From Pretoria Capitals, Will Jacks and Jimmy Neesham are excellent choices for their all-round abilities, while Tabraiz Shamsi's spin could be effective on The Wanderers track.
For a balanced fantasy squad, consider Faf du Plessis, Devon Conway, and Eathan Bosch as they can deliver with both consistency and flamboyance which makes them strong captain or vice-captain options.
JSK vs PC: Winner Predicton
Joburg Super Kings hold the edge with two wins on the trot and a well-balanced squad. Their in-form batters and bowlers like Faf du Plessis and Gerald Coetzee give them an upper hand. While Pretoria Capitals have the firepower to surprise, JSK’s momentum makes them favourites for this clash.
