The Durban Super Giants secured a 2-run victory in the opening game of their 2025 SA20 campaign at home. Skipper Keshav Maharaj will expect a better outing from his bowlers as they face a strong batting lineup of the Super Kings.
Joburg Super Kings finished with just 3 wins from 10 matches last year. They suffered a huge loss to Durban Super Giants in the second Qualifier match.
This season, the Super Kings are off to a brilliant start defeating MI Cape Town in their opening game. The bowlers were exceptional as they restricted the opposition to 140 for 6. David Wiese, Lutho Sipamla, and Tabraiz Shamsi are the key wicket-takers in this squad.
For the hosts, the likes of Quinton de Kock and Kane Williamson are the game-changers in the middle-order followed by Heinrich Klaasen and Wiaan Mulder. It is a solid-looking batting lineup and they will be aiming for an even bigger total this time around.

Durban Super Giants posted a 209-run total batting first in their opening game. Even after such a brilliant show with the bat, they won by a very narrow margin of 2 runs.
Keshav Maharaj will be concerned about the bowling efforts and needs to find a way to bounce back in this game. They’ve got a great-looking bowling attack with Naveen-ul-Haq, Dwaine Pretorius, and Chris Woakes in the pace department.
Noor Ahmed and the skipper himself are key wicket-takers with their spin bowling. Woakes, Pretorius, and Mulder were the most expensive in the last outing at this venue.
The opposition has a strong top-order with experienced players who can take the game away from the Giants. The hosts need to find early wickets and put Joburg on the backfoot.
In the batting department, openers Bryce Parsons and Matthew Bretzkee look in fine touch and will be key players to watch out for. Williams and de Kock come in at 3 and 4 bringing plenty of experience to the middle order.
Klassen is the ideal finisher at number 5 and though he was out for a duck in the last game, we reckon he would bounce back and deliver a big knock. The batting lineup is deep with many all-rounders in the lower order.

Joburg Super Giants were 6 runs ahead of the DLS par score after 11.3 Overs in their run chase when rain stopped play. They had lost all the big guns from the top order including Devon Conway, Faf du Plessis, and Jonny Bairstow.
These 3 along with Leus du Plooy make for a solid and reliable top 4. Joburg Super Giants will back themselves to put on a big score at Kingsmead in Durban.
Batting all-rounder Wihan Lubbe and the experienced Donovan Ferreira in the lower middle order followed by Wiese add depth to this batting lineup. There are many impactful players in this batting order at all key positions.
Joburg Super Giants should be able to make most of the conditions at this venue and set up a highly competitive total if they bat first. They have also got a strong bowling attack that was successful in the opening game.
Wiese, Sipamla, and Evan Jones will be the key pacers to watch out for. Though Mathisha Patheerana was expensive, he’s got the skills to execute yorkers at the death and will be a key bowler for the side.

It will be mostly sunny in Durban with a high of 29 degrees Celsius on the match day. Though the forecast is for rain on the day before and after the match day, we expect clear skies during the match and no rain interruptions.

The pitch offers pace and bounce and both batters and bowlers can make the most of the conditions. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20s here is 160 runs. However, for a match-winning total, we reckon the team batting first should be aiming for something over 185 runs.
Teams batting first have won 7 of the last 10 T20 matches played at Kingsmead, Durban. Both teams have a deep and strong batting lineup and they should back themselves to set a massive target for the opposition.
It will be a close contest between two well-matched teams. There is no clear winner between the two as far as the squad strengths are concerned. However, Durban Super Giants will have the home advantage on their side and are slightly ahead in our match prediction.
