PC vs JSKS Team Previews
Pretoria Capitals
The Capitals only have two wins to show for their six matches in this season's SA20 so far. But they will be buoyed by their most recent victory, in which they successfully defended a low 126-run target against the reigning champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape.
Adil Rashid and Wayne Parnell starred for the Capitals in that match with three wickets each. The leg-spinner and left-arm seamer could be instrumental in this fixture as well. Fast bowler Daryn Dupavillon, meanwhile, continues to prove a worthy first XI replacement for the injured Anrich Nortje.
The Capitals will demand a lot more of themselves with the bat, though. Middle-order batter Shane Dadswell was selected for the first time this season against the Sunrisers. It'll be interesting to see if he is retained for this match. Opener Will Jacks has managed just 13 runs in three innings since hitting a century earlier in the tournament.
With Jacks and fellow England recruit Phil Salt at the top of the Pretoria order, there is little to no excuse for them not to get off to an explosive start, whether batting first or second. But the middle order is going to have to step up in support as well against a motivated Joburg bowling attack.
Pretoria Capitals Playing 11
Philip Salt, Will Jacks, Kyle Verreynne, Rilee Rossouw, Colin Ingram, Shane Dadswell, Corbin Bosch, Wayne Parnell, Eathan Bosch, Adil Rashid, Daryn Dupavillon.
Joburg Super Kings
Joburg are at the very bottom of the standings after just one win this season. A lot of expectation surrounded their campaign before the start of the tournament, but they have failed to deliver. Their batting resources and bowling personnel are struggling. Perhaps this is their cue to get it right against the Capitals.
Leus du Plooy and Reeza Hendricks have been the Super Kings' standout performers with the bat, but even their figures don't read particularly well. Du Plooy has struck 183 runs in five innings and Hendricks 129 in five. Faf du Plessis has been alarmingly out of form with a mere 49 runs in five innings.
Lizaad Williams has been the Super Kings' best bowler by a long shot. With 10 wickets, he has five more than any other team-mate this season. The right-arm seamer has bowled with good accuracy and decent pace. He is a strong contender for South Africa's T20 World Cup squad later this year.
Joburg need to find a way to convert du Plooy and Hendricks' promise and Wiliams' success into solid results for the team. Collectively and individually, the Super Kings need to gel soon. If not, ambition to advance to the next stage of the tournament will be all but over.
Joburg Super Kings Playing 11
Faf du Plessis, Reeza Hendricks, Leus du Plooy, Moeen Ali, Sibonelo Makhanya, Donovan Ferreira, Romario Shepherd, Lizaad Williams, Nandre Burger, Imran Tahir, David Wiese.
PC vs JSKS Toss Prediction
This will be the fourth match of this year's SA20 in Centurion. The first three brought two decisions to bowl first and one to bat.
The Sunrisers won the toss, chose to bowl first and lost the match in the previous SA20 fixture at this venue. It's likely the team to win the toss this time will elect to bat first.

Pitch and Conditions
SuperSport Park has produced first-innings totals of 210, 204 and 125 this SA20 season. This is a high-scoring ground despite the low totals collected in the last match here.
A first-innings total of 180-plus can be considered competitive. It's well worth playing two specialist slow bowlers here.
Plenty of rain is forecast in Centurion across the rest of this week. We'll likely have a fixture affected by wet weather - and perhaps shortened because of it.
PC vs JSKS Betting Tips
Pretoria have some confidence after outdoing the Sunrisers recently. Joburg are struggling to find any momentum.
Bet on the 1.83 favourites Pretoria Capitals to beat the 1.93 underdogs Joburg Super Kings.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Dadswell came into the Capitals XI and hit their second-highest score against the Sunrisers. At long odds of 9.50, he is a good pick to be Pretoria's top batter in this match.
Parnell is among the best left-arm seamers at this tournament. He took three wickets against the Eastern Cape side recently. Back him to do well in Centurion again.
Hendricks hit 79 not out in his last innings. He is in form and will join the Pakistan Super League after the SA20. Look forward to another big showing from the Proteas star.
