DSG vs JSKS Match Prediction - Jan 11, 2023

The inaugural season of the SA20 league kicks off this week and the Durban Super Giants will take on the Joburg Super Kings in match number 2 on Wednesday.

All 6 participating teams in South Africa’s latest T20 League are owned by IPL franchises and there has been a lot of hype created around this league. With some of the biggest international T20 stars expected to play here, we will surely have lots of entertainment in the coming weeks. 

 

DSG vs JSKS Team Previews

Durban Super Giants

The Durban Super Giants franchise is owned by the RPSG Group, which also owns one of the newest IPL teams, the Lucknow Super Giants.

Quinton de Kock will be leading the team this season. De Kock has led the South African national team in the past and has plenty of experience in this format. However, he is not the only big-hitter in the squad. De Kock will be supported at the top of the order by Heinrich Klaasen and Johnson Charles.

The Super Giants have spent a good amount on recruiting all-rounders for the team. Kyle Mayers, Keemo Paul, Jason Holder, and Dwaine Pretorius will all be seen in the Super Giants jersey this year. The pace attack will be led by Hardus Viljoen and Reece Topley, while Keshav Maharaj and Akila Dhananjaya are the key spinners in the squad.

Joburg Super Kings

The Super Kings will go with Faf du Plessis as their skipper for this season. Du Plessis has been a consistent performer in the T20s, especially in the IPL. Faf du Plessis has been a part of the title-winning CSK team for 2 seasons, in 2018 as well as 2021, and will be glad to play under the Super Kings umbrella yet again.

Unlike their opponents, the Super Kings do not have plenty of all-rounders but they have managed to strike a good balance between batsmen and bowlers. Local boys Reeza Hendricks and Janneman Malan are the biggest names to join their skipper at the top of the order, while Leus Deus Plooy, Kyle Verreyenne, and Donavon Ferreira add strength to the middle order.

Bowling is perhaps the biggest strength of this Super Kings squad as it contains some world-class bowlers like Romario Shepherd, Alzarri Joseph, and George Garton. Sri Lankan seamer Maheesh Theekshana is also expected to join the squad at a later stage. Other names in the bowling line-up include Lewis Gregory and Gerald Coetzee.

Pitch and Conditions

The Kingsmead Stadium has a flat surface which is good to bat on and the ground has witnessed many high-scoring matches. It was on this very ground that Yuvraj Singh hit Stuart Broad for 6 consecutive sixes in an over during the World T20.

The average first innings score here is around 150. While the pitch is known to assist the quicker bowlers, the spinners have enjoyed success in recent matches. The weather is expected to be humid but sunny, with gusts of strong winds. The temperature is expected to hover around in the mid-20s. 

 

DSG vs JSKS Betting Tips

Since this is the first match of the season for both teams, it is impossible to gauge the form for both. However, going by the on-paper strengths and weaknesses, we feel that the hosts hold a slight edge over their opponents in this match.

Quinton de Kock has plenty of all-rounders at his disposal and the Super Giants bat quite deep too.

Bet on the Durban Super Giants to win.

    Reece Topley (2.50)

    Visit

Reece Topley is a lethal bowler in white-ball cricket. He is particularly effective in the T20s and has picked up 168 wickets in the 127 innings that he has bowled so far and his bowling strike rate is 16.0. The Durban pitch is quite helpful to the seamers and we reckon that Topley will be quite effective here.
