The 29th league stage match of the ongoing SA20 tournament will witness a high-octane clash between Joburg Super Kings and Durban's Super Giants. The much-anticipated match will be played at The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. 

Led by Faf du Plessis, JSK have had a topsy-turvy journey in the tournament, claiming the third position in the standings with four wins in nine matches. On the contrary, the SuperGiants have been absolutely below par in the competition. They have lost six out of nine matches, reeling at the bottom in the standings. 

As both teams gear up for a nail-biting affair, let's see how the surface at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg will behave throughout the match.

The Wanderers Stadium Johannesburg Pitch Report: Is It Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

Surprisingly, the surface at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg hasn't been a great one for batting in the SA20 2025. The average scoring rate at this venue reads 7.34, indicating the bowlers have been more effective here than the other SA20 venues. 

So, it's expected that the batters might have to toil hard for runs, while the bowlers, especially the pacers who bowl onto the pitch, can succeed with their lengths at this venue. Considering the chasing sides have won three out of four matches, the toss-winner might bowl first. 

Players To Watch Out For At Wanderers Stadium Johannesburg

Faf du Plessis

  • JSK skipper Faf du Plessis has been the most successful batter from his side in the SA20 this season, scoring 253 runs at an average of 31.62 and a strike rate of 140.55. He smashed 87 runs in the previous game and could be a match-winner for the home side. 

Lutho Sipamla

  • Right-arm pacer Lutho Sipamla is in sublime form in the SA20 2025. Sipamla, who has bagged eleven wickets at a strike rate of 13, can exploit the track's seam-friendly behaviour and dismantle DSG's batting lineup. 

Noor Ahmad

  • DSG's in-form spinner Noor Ahmad has been their most-trusted bowling weapon in the SA20 2025. The left-arm wrist spinner has scalped ten wickets at a superb economy of seven and might emerge as a game-changer for his team in the middle overs. 

P.S: Apart from these players, the eyes will be on Kane Williamson, Marcus Stoinis, Heinrich Klaasen, Hardus Viljoen and Jonny Bairstow.
