JSKS vs PC Team Previews
Joburg Super Kings
Joburg still haven't collected their first win of this season's SA20. They shared a washout with the Sunrisers Eastern Cape before losing three successive matches to MI Cape Town, Durban's Super Giants and the Paarl Royals. Here is their chance to bounce back against the Capitals.
Fast bowler Gerald Coetzee has not yet played for the Super Kings this SA20 season. If Joburg are able to name the Proteas star in their XI, this will significantly boost their ambition with the ball. Coetzee has been sidelined by injury. Whether he recovers in time for this match remains in the balance.
Fellow fast bowler Lizaad Williams has done well for Joburg this year. He has taken six wickets in three matches. Averaging two wickets per match for an extended period in this format of the game is an outstanding feat. Look forward to another big performance from Williams here.
Batting-wise, the hard-hitting Leus du Plooy has been their standout player. He is the only Joburg batter to have reached 100-plus runs this SA20 season. Du Plooy is going to need a lot more support from fellow batters Reeza Hendricks, Faf du Plessis and others.
Joburg Super Kings Playing 11
Faf du Plessis, Reeza Hendricks, Leus du Plooy, Moeen Ali, Sibonelo Makhanya, Donovan Ferreira, David Wiese, Romario Shepherd, Lizaad Williams, Nandre Burger, Imran Tahir.
Pretoria Capitals
The Pretoria Capitals lost two successive fixtures against the Paarl Royals before handing Durban's Super Giants their first defeat of this year's SA20. Buoyed by that win over Durban, the Capitals can target a second win in a row against opposition who are still searching for their first.
The return of all-rounder Wayne Parnell to the Capitals XI is a big motivator. He missed the start of the tournament due to injury, but has since claimed the captaincy back from New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham - and can look to add value with bat and ball in this match.
Another all-rounder in England's Will Jacks is a veritable superstar for the Capitals. He hit a brisk century and took key wickets against Durban. He succeeded in Centurion conditions, but might be a lot more challenged at the Wanderers. Jack is a huge asset for Pretoria.
They will remain without injured fast bowler Anrich Nortje for the rest of the tournament. Seamers Ethan Bosch and Corbin Bosch are going to need to perform consistently well in Nortje's absence. Fast bowler Daryn Dupavillon can provide the outright pace that is missing without Nortje around.
Pretoria Capitals Playing 11
Philip Salt, Will Jacks, Kyle Verreynne, Rilee Rossouw, Colin Ingram, James Neesham, Corbin Bosch, Wayne Parnell, Eathan Bosch, Hardus Viljoen, Adil Rashid.
JSKS vs PC Toss Prediction
Joburg won the toss and opted to bowl first in the first Wanderers match of this SA20 season. It was an intriguing decision, which did not result in victory.
It's probable the team to win the toss this time will elect to bat first and attempt to take advantage of a relatively fresh and hard Johannesburg pitch.
Read our guide on toss predictions to learn how we analyze and come up with our tips.
Pitch and Conditions
MI Cape Town posted a total of 243 after losing the toss against Joburg at the Wanderers earlier this tournament. That total shows you this is a high-scoring ground. A first-innings total of approximately 180-plus can be considered competitive here.
Conditions generally suit seam here, but that's not to discount the spinners. One specialist slow bowler could open the bowling inside the powerplay.
No rain is forecast in Johannesburg on matchday. We should get in a full fixture here.
JSKS vs PC Betting Tips
The Capitals have some momentum after beating Durban, while Joburg are likely struggling for the same after losing three matches in a row.
Pretoria's batting and bowling depth looks stronger than the Super Kings'. The Capitals are priced as 1.73 favourites to beat the 2.11 underdogs Joburg in this match.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Jacks hit 101 off 42 deliveries against Durban. He was in sublime form. He can take that momentum into this match and will likely open the batting again, when fielding restrictions are limited during the powerplay.
Bosch is an under-rated seamer, capable of taking a few wickets with the new ball and returning for more later in the innings.
Du Plooy has collected innings of 71 and 48 this tournament. He is in good form and poised to succeed again.
