Bet NowHost Nelson Mandela Bay Giants will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the league table when they face Durban Heat in the 14th game of Mzansi Super League played at Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
Captain JJ Smuts will be hoping that the side can continue their good form in this home fixture. In the previous game, Nelson Mandela Bay Giants registered a five-wicket win over Cape Town Blitz to claim top spot in the points table.
On the other hand, Durban Heat will be desperate to register their first win of the competition. The side was once again left frustrated as their previous game was abandoned due to rain. Captain Dane Vilas will be hoping that the side can put in a decent show in this game.
The franchise is currently placed at the top of the league table with 15 points to their name. Nelson Mandela Bay Giants beat Cape Town Blitz by five wickets, courtesy splendid performances from JJ Smuts, Marco Marais and Imran Tahir.

His opening partner, Matthew Breetzke, has not fared any better and is averaging 11.50 with the bat so far this season.
The team management will be hoping that opening a pair of JJ Smuts and Matthew Breetzke can deliver decent scores for the side in this home fixture. In the batting department, the side will be depending on the likes of JJ Smuts, Ben Dunk and Heino Kuhn to deliver the bulk of the runs.
Captain JJ Smuts has been an in-form player for the side so far in this competition. He has accumulated 105 runs at an average of 52.50 with one half-century to his name. JJ Smuts was the standout performer for the side in the previous game played against Cape Town Blitz. He will be keen to continue his excellent form with the bat in this home fixture.

Dane Vilas-led unit will be looking to register their first win of the tournament. The side is currently lying at the bottom of the league table with six points to their name. The previous game between Tshwane Spartans and Durban Heat ended in a no-result due to heavy rains at Centurion. In the batting department, the side will be depending on the likes of Dane Vilas, Alex Hales and David Miller to do the bulk of the scoring.
The experienced players like Alex Hales, Dane Vilas and David Miller have struggled to produce decent scores for the side in this competition. In the previous game, Wesley Marshall and Alex Hales perished for single-digit scores to see Durban in deep trouble in the initial Powerplay overs. Alex Hales will need to adjust to the conditions and produce a decent score for the side in this home fixture.
David Miller certainly needs to bat higher in the batting department. The left-hander needs to spend time in the middle to produce a decent score for the franchise in this game. In the bowling department, the onus will be on the likes of Andile Phehlukwayo, Kyle Abbott and Keshav Maharaj to pick up wickets in this contest.
