Pretoria CapitalsJoburg Super KingsPretoria Capitals finished the first edition of the SA20 league by being at the top of the point table. However, the current season is turning out to be a nightmare for them.
The primary reason for their consecutive losses is their weak bowling. Will Jacks is their highest wicket-taker with 5 wickets in 5 matches at an economy of 6.30. Jimmy Neesham is following him with 4 wickets in 5 matches at an economy of 9.45.
The batting unit is mostly dependent on the Will Jacks to give the team a good start at the top order. Jacks is also their highest scorer with 177 runs in 5 fixtures at an average of 35.40. Rille Rossouw is following him with 123 runs in 5 fixtures at an average of 24.60. Phill Salt & Colin Ingram need to start scoring if the duo wants their team to win and take the team in the playoffs.
Batters except Will Jacks need to start scoring. The team management wonβt be making changes to the squad but they will be expecting runs from the experienced batters.
Predicted Lineup: Phil Salt (wk), Will Jacks, Kyle Verreynne, Rilee Rossouw, Colin Ingram, James Neesham, Corbin Bosch, Wayne Parnell (c), Eathan Bosch, Adil Rashid, Hardus Viljoen

The previous meeting between the two was a failed attempt to win a fixture for the Capitals. They are struggling to score a big number and their experienced players are unable to perform.
Joburg Super Kings, on the other hand, good lineup of bowlers who have been successful in the previous games. The teamβs major struggle is in the batting unit. However, Super Kings still have an upper hand and we predict a win for them on Saturday.
