Master leg-spinner Rashid Khan is a world-class game-changer. Seasoned pros like Rassie van der Dussen and Ryan Rickelton will provide the building blocks for a team with firepower in its middle order. Van der Dussen scored a valuable 39 runs at Newlands. Rickelton blitzed to 89 runs off only 39 balls in his previous innings.

The youthful energy of Dewald Brevis gives the team fearless stroke play. The experienced Reeza Hendricks is versatile as someone who can rotate strike or up the ante on demand. He guided MI Cape Town over the line against Joburg Super Kings with 34 not out.

DSG vs MICT Toss Prediction

MI Cape Town won their previous game resoundingly by choosing to chase. They may look to bowl first again. Durban’s Super Giants may also want to bowl first, but will want to improve their run chases in Durban.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at Kingsmead should offer enough for both bowlers and batters alike. The potentially damp conditions will work in the seamers’ favour if there is movement off the surface. The batters may need to navigate the opening spell of bowling before batting conditions become better. Sunrisers Eastern Cape scored 165 for five in 20 overs in the first innings of the previous Durban SA20 match.

Scattered showers are expected for matchday. There is a 15 percent chance of rain. The climate will be warm and extremely humid.
