The 11th match of the SA20 will be taking place between the Joburg Super Kings and the Pretoria Capitals at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Tuesday 17th January, 2023. The match is scheduled to start at 9:00 PM IST.
The Joburg Super Kings will be playing their first home match of the season and they will hope to restore some sort of sanity into their terrible campaign so far. They have played three matches in the tournament so far and have lost two of them. But the biggest problem for the team has been that their top order has failed to fire in all the matches. The Super Kings will try to put up a strong show in the match and bounce to protect the legacy of the franchise.
Meanwhile, the Pretoria Capitals have had a great start to the tournament. They have won both of their matches and are currently at number two in the points table with a net run rate of +1.500. They will look to carry their winning momentum ahead and maintain their position at the top of the table.
Before the match starts, let us look at the important stats, best player picks and the best predicted teams for the fantasy contests of the match.
