Durban Super Giants v Pretoria Capitals: Match Predictions
Durban Super Giants played their last match on 28 January against the Paarl Royals. The Giants elected to bat first and set a huge target of 209 runs which the Royals missed by a great distance. This victory of 125 runs tells the current form of the team. Both the batting and bowling unit of the team is strong. In this match, these are the players that are predicted to do well from the DSG:
- Heinrich Klaasen
- Matthew Breetzke
- Reece Topley
- Keshav Maharaj
- Noor Ahmed
Pretoria Capitals was supposed to play their previous match against the Joburg Super Kings on 27 January. But, the match was called after a few overs due to rain. However, the team received 2 points from this match. Two days before, they defeated the Sunrisers Eastern Cape by 3 runs. Despite having a bad start this season the team has finally gained some confidence. The following players are expected to perform well from the PC:
- Rilee Rossouw
- Will Jacks
- Adil Rashid

Durban Super Giants is at the top of the points table with 28 points, they have played 8 matches by now and lost only two. On the other hand, Pretoria Capitals have won only two out of 7 matches they have played so far this season and are in fourth position in the points table with 10 points. The Capitals do have some extraordinary players in the team but they might lack the confidence and the mindset of Super Giants coming from winning three matches in a row and that is why they are predicted to win the match.
