SA20 2024 Match 22, DSG vs PR: Team Previews
Durban’s Super Giants
Durban’s Super Giants, under South Africa’s all-round apparent Keshav Maharaj, is currently placed at the top of the SA20 2024 points table owing to their dominant run off late. After trouncing MI Cape Town, defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Joburg Super Kings with emphatic margins in their first three games, the Super Giants briefly lost track by suffering close defeats in their subsequent two fixtures.
However, Keshav Maharaj and co. outclassed MI Cape Town and Paarl Royals to complete five wins from their first seven games of the season. Batters like Heinrich Klaasen, Matthew Breetzke and JJ Smuts have already headlined DSG’s run-scoring charge on numerous occasions, while bowlers like Reece Topley, Marcus Stoinis and captain Maharaj himself coming to the fore in crunch situations.
Paarl Royals
Much like the Durban’s Super Giants, a David Miller-led Paarl Royals unit has also secured five wins from their seven league fixtures. However, they are placed at number two on the SA20 2024 six-team standings owing to inferior NRR as compared to Keshav Maharaj and co.
A win over the Super Giants at this stage of the tournament, however, will make them the new number one side on the points table. For Paarl Royals, blistering opening batter and overseas star Jos Buttler has emerged as their leading run-scorer. Star speedster Lungi Ngidi has helmed his side’s pace attack with much success, seizing 12 wickets from just seven games so far in the tournament.

SA20 2024 Match 22, DSG vs PR: Durban Pitch Report
After hosting the high-scoring thriller between MI Cape Town and Durban’s Super Giants earlier in the tournament, the conditions at Durban’s Kingsmead Cricket Ground deteriorated a bit to offer considerable assistance to seamers. Batters can still have their say on the surface upon settling in. The average first innings total at the venue this season has emerged in the range of early 170s. The captain winning the toss might prefer to field first, considering the chasing sides have won twice out the three completed SA20 2024 fixtures so far hosted by the venue.
