Joburg Super KingsDurban Super GiantsAfter a disheartening defeat where they were bowled out for a mere 78 runs, the Joburg Super Kings are gearing up for redemption. Faf du Plessis will be keen to showcase his destructive batting prowess and is determined to lead from the front.
JSK opener, Leus du Plooy has emerged as a ray of hope for the team in most outings, having been their standout performer with 242 runs in 8 matches at a striking rate of 172.85.
Lizaad Williams has been a revelation with the ball, boasting an impressive tally of 12 wickets in 7 innings at a phenomenal strike rate of 10.50, currently ranking as the third-highest wicket-taker.
All eyes will be on Moeen Ali, expected to bring his A-game in both batting and bowling, while the seasoned Imran Tahir will be set to display his immense T20 experience in an almost do-or-die scenario.
Romario Shepherd and Zahir Khan both left for national duty. They missed the last match and Bracewell was named Shepherd's replacement.
Predicted Lineup: Leus du Plooy, Moeen Ali, Faf du Plessis (c), Reeza Hendricks, Wayne Madsen, Donovan Ferreira (wk), Doug Bracewell, Lizaad Williams, Nandre Burger, Kyle Simmonds, Imran Tahir
Boasting arguably the best bowling lineup in the league this season, the Super Giants present a formidable challenge for the Super Kings. Captain Keshav Maharaj leads the charge, steering a bowling quartet that includes Reece Topley, Noor Ahmad, and Stoinis, who have collectively scalped an impressive 42 wickets. It is noteworthy that Noor and Stoinis have achieved this feat in just 5 matches, underlining their exceptional impact.
The batting prowess of the Super Giants is equally destructive, with three of their players ranking among the top 7 run-scorers. Breetzke has been a standout performer with 374 runs in 9 matches, closely followed by Klaasen with 310 runs in 9 matches, featuring three fifties (the second-highest).
Smuts adds to the firepower with 231 runs in 8 matches. Klaasen and Breetzke have also been prolific in hitting sixes, contributing 25 and 21 respectively.
Topley will be back in place of Junior Dala who played the last match as an experiment.
Predicted Lineup: Tony de Zorzi, Matthew Breetzke, Quinton de Kock (wk), JJ Smuts, Heinrich Klaasen, Wiaan Mulder, Keemo Paul, Keshav Maharaj (c), Reece Topley, Naveen-ul-Haq, Noor Ahmad
The hosts hold an edge against the Durban Super Giants, securing victory in two out of the last three matches, but both their wins came last season.
