Durban Super Giants had a strong showing in the league stage of SA20. Despite a setback against Joburg Super Kings towards the end, they finished second on the points table. However, a loss to Sunrisers Eastern Cape in Qualifier 2 means they’ll face Faf du Plessis-led side in a crucial match. The opposing team, after a convincing win over Paarl Royals, enters the game with confidence.
JSK’s skipper Faf du Plessis and Leus du Plooy have been in outstanding form recently, both scoring half-centuries in the last match. Their consistent performance is crucial for the team’s success. Additionally, bowlers Sam Cook and Nandre Burger’s impressive performances provide confidence to the team.
The Keshav Maharaj-led side will need to address their batting concerns after being dismissed for just 106 runs in the last match. Despite the setback, they have experienced players in the middle order who are capable of turning things around in Qualifier 2.
