PC vs DSG Team Previews

Pretoria Capitals

The Pretoria Capitals lost their season-opener against the Durban Super Giants on Friday. It was a high-scoring encounter and in the end, the team fell short by just 2 runs.

Will Jacks and Rahmanullah Gurbaz were in excellent form in that match as they shared a 154-run opening partnership. Both of them scored half-centuries and the team will expect a similar performance from them in this match as well.

The Capitals have a couple of explosive batsmen in the middle order like Rilee Rossouw, Paul Verreynne, and Steve Stolk. However, they were unable to carry the momentum and in the end, the Capitals fell short of the target by 3 runs.

While the team has some quality all-rounders like Liam Livingstone, James Neesham, and Senuran Muthusamy, they lack a reliable finisher lower down the order. There is plenty of scope for improvement when it comes to bowling. Eathan Bosch and Daryn Dupavillon were very expensive with the new ball, and in the spin department, only Senuran Muthusamy bowled well to pick up 3 wickets.

The Capitals remain a quality side but they need a few tweaks in their strategy to get back to winning ways.

Pretoria Capitals Expected Playing 11

  • Rahmanullah Gurbaz
  • Will Jacks
  • Rilee Rossouw (C)
  • Paul Verreynne (WK)
  • Steve Stolk
  • Liam Livingstone
  • James Neesham
  • Senuran Muthusamy
  • Eathan Bosch
  • Daryn Dupavillon
  • Kyle Simmonds

Durban Super Giants

The Durban Super Giants continued their good form from the previous season and made a winning start to their campaign. They will now hope to build up on the momentum and better their position on the points table.

A lot will depend on the opening pair of Bryce Parsons and Matthew Breetzke. The duo gave the team a decent start on Friday and will look to do the same in this match as well.

The middle order has become stronger with the inclusion of Kane Williamson. He scored 60 runs on his SA20 debut and appears to be in fine touch. Heinrich Klaasen and Quinton de Kock are among the most aggressive batsmen in the league and add heft to the Super Giants’ middle order.

With the likes of Wiaan Mulder, Dwaine Pretorius, and Chris Woakes all available for selection, there is no dearth of talent in the squad. The bowling attack is well-balanced too, with Keshav Maharaj and Noor Ahmad being the two spinners and Naveen ul Haq leading the attack with the new ball.

PC vs DSG Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at the SuperSport Park is hard and flat, offering excellent bounce. The batsmen will have to be careful while facing the new ball as there is plenty of movement off the seam. As the match progresses, batting gets easier. The par score here is around 180. Batsmen who have a strong backfoot will find plenty of success.

The weather will remain overcast and there may be a shortened match due to rain.

PC vs DSG Betting Tips

We are backing the Durban Super Giants to win this match. They played well in the last match and will be high on confidence. They have a stronger batting lineup with more depth.

Bet on the Durban Super Giants to win.
