DSG vs JSK, Match 7- Top Captain and Vice-captain Choices
Scenario: If Durban Super Giants field first
Faf du Plessis (JSK): The Proteas cricketer is one of the best in the business when it comes to don the bat and score quick runs. He has an amazing technique to score quick runs inside the powerplay and does not shy away from taking the pacers and spinners to the cleaners. Du Plessis has racked up 341 runs from his last ten innings at an impressive average of 41.75.
Heinrich Klaasen (DSG): The South African wicketkeeper is having a brilliant outing with the bat since the past year. He has been tonking the bowlers out of the park for fun and on rare cases, the opposition has succeeded in stopping the destruction caused by Klaasen. Having notched up 405 runs from his last ten innings, Klaasen has an impressive average of 81 and a strike rate of 184.93.
Scenario: If Joburg Super Kings field first
Nicholas Pooran (DSG): Also known by the term 'NickyP', Pooran is a murderer of the cricket ball. He is one of the cleanest strikers of the cricket ball and one of the moments was caught in the camera when the wicketkeeper-batter smacked 60* off 31 balls against Sunrisers Eastern Cape.
Nandre Burger (JSK): The burly pacer was in scintillating form with the ball during the recently concluded series against India. Burger is tall and his left-arm angle can help in such decks to create pressure on the opponents. He is good with the new ball and should come good in the forthcoming contest.
DSG vs JSK, Match 7- High Risk, High Reward Choice
Romario Shepherd (JSK): The Caribbean power-hitter has not been in his peak form in recent times. However, Shepherd has the calibre to make it big with the bat in hand. He could be a good finisher and with the ball has improved leaps and bounds.
Quinton de Kock (DSG): The left-handed opening batter recently retired from international cricket after notching up the most number of tons during the 2023 World Cup. De Kock was on a level ahead than others when it came to smacking runs during the prestigious event. He would look to transpire his good form into SA20. Although he got starts in the last game, he is due of a big score.
