SA20 2024 Match 24, DSG vs PC: Team Previews
Durban’s Super Giants
Durban’s Super Giants, under Keshav Maharaj, are comfortably placed at the top of the SA20 2024 points table. They registered huge wins over MI Cape Town, defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Joburg Super Kings upfront before briefly losing track with successive defeats.
Nonetheless, the Super Giants regained their winning ways by trouncing MI Cape Town and Paarl Royals with 36 and 57-run margins respectively. Moreover, Keshav Maharaj and co. also ravaged Royals by 125 runs in their most recent outing at Durban. Heinrich Klaasen listed a belligerent 16-ball 50 in the game, which also featured a record-shattering five-fer from Afghanistan import Noor Ahmad.
Pretoria Capitals
With just two wins out of their first seven league fixtures, Pretoria Capitals need to win each of their remaining three games to inject themselves with a possible playoffs’ contention. As of now, they are placed at number four on the SA20 2024 points table, barely surpassing MI Cape Town’s points tally owing to superior NRR.
Under Wayne Parnell, the Capitals did manage to defeat Durban’s Super Giants in their previous faceoff earlier in the tournament; and also upstaged defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape by a three-run margin. Capitals’ return fixture against cellar-dwellers Joburg Super Kings was washed out due to rains, which subsequently robbed them of a possible two-pointer at Centurion.
