Durban's Super Giants
Durban scraped just 2 wins from 10 games last season, finishing with the wooden spoon. New captain Aiden Markram—a three-time finalist with Sunrisers—brings leadership. He partners Kane Williamson, Tony de Zorzi, Devon Conway, Jos Buttler, and Marques Ackerman at the top.
All-rounders David Weise and Sunil Narine add versatility, with Noor Ahmad supporting spin. Pace comes from Gerald Coetzee, Eathan Bosch, Andile Simelane, and Kwena Maphaka. Can they gel quickly enough?

MICT vs DSG Toss Prediction
Newlands night games favor chasing. The toss winner will bowl first to exploit early seam movement before the pitch flattens out.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Newlands offers a batting paradise with average first innings scores around 175 in recent T20s. Fresh grass gives seamers early help, but it quickly becomes true for strokeplay. Spinners may struggle.
Expect cloudy skies, 22°C temps—no rain interruptions for a full-blooded opener.
MICT vs DSG: Who Will Win?
MI Cape Town enters as defending champions with retained stars and proven chemistry. Their batting depth trumps Durban's star-studded but untested top order. Super Giants need a complete performance to upset the favorites.
Bet on MI Cape Town to win.
