PC vs JSKS Match Preview
The Pretoria team has gathered just a couple of wins in the points table so far and has a net run rate of -1.282. The Pretoria Capitals side finished the 1st edition of SA20 on the top of the points table. But this season is proving to be a difficult one. The main reason for the consecutive losses is their poor bowling. The top wicket-taker for Pretoria has been Will Jacks. He has picked up five wickets from the last five games with an economy rate of 6.30. Jimmy Neesham has also picked up four wickets from his previous five games with an economy rate of 9.45.
The performance of the batting unit will depend on Will Jacks for the most part. He must provide an excellent start to the innings at the top of the order. Jacks is one of the leading run-getters for Pretoria and has scored 177 runs in his five games so far with an average of 35.40. He is followed by Rille Rossouw, the next batter on the list, with 123 runs from his last five matches with an average of 24.60. But for the Pretoria team to return to winning ways, you will need Colin Ingram and Phil Salt to start scoring runs.
The Joburg Super Kings are also struggling in the competition at the moment. They have managed to score just a single victory in their last six games and have a net run rate of -1.833. They have collected just six points from their previous six games in SA20. But their only win in the competition came against Pretoria Capitals. The JSK team had to endure another loss in their last contest against Paarl Royals. Their batters did a good job, with Reeza Hendricks scoring 79 runs from just 56 balls with a strike rate of 141.07.
Another batter that did well for JSK was Leus du Plooy. He hit 30 runs from 16 balls with a striker rate of 187.50. Regarding the bowling attack, the Joburg Super Kings did not control the performance of their bowlers in the last match. Even though the bowlers did provide an early advantage, they went off the boil in the middle overs. Moeen Ali successfully picked up two wickets with an economy rate of 7.75. Imran Tahir and Lizaad Williams picked up one wicket each.

Dream11 Prediction
The last game between Pretoria and Joburg saw the Capitals unable to beat Joburg. They also struggled to achieve significant numbers in their batting and bowling departments. Although the Joburg Super Kings have undergone a similar fate in the competition, they have a better batting unit. However, the Pretoria team won their last game and have some momentum. We will bet with Pretoria Capitals to win this contest.
