SA20 2025: Predicting Durban Super Giants’ playing XI for their clash against MI Cape Town

The ‘struggling’ and ‘down and out’ Durban’s Super Giants will face the table leaders MI Cape Town in the 16th fixture of the ongoing SA20 2025. Durban’s Kingsmead will host this game on January 21, at 9:00 PM (IST). The Keshav Maharaj-led side will aim to win this match and improve its numbers in the tournament. 

DSG are currently at the bottom of the tournament’s points table, with only one win and three defeats in their five games, including a ‘no-result’ game. They have six points to their name and are coming off three consecutive defeats in their last three games. A win in this game will help them keep their hopes alive in the tournament. 

Here is the predicted Durban Super Giants’ playing XI for their next clash against MI Cape Town:

Openers:

The Super Giants will look ahead to go with the unchanged opening pair of Brandon King and Matthew Breetzke in their next game. However, the duo failed to live up to the expectations in the previous but still, they will look ahead to come up with a strong comeback in the next game. 

So, the team management is expected to bank on the pair of King and Breetzke as openers in their next assignment against MI Cape Town. 

Middle Order:

The veteran number three batter Kane Williamson played a brilliant knock of 44 runs off 45 balls, with three fours in the next game. His knock played a crucial role in stabilizing DSG’s innings amidst a batting collapse. 

Williamson will be followed by the number four batter and the veteran wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock in the middle order. Besides these two, JJ Smuts and the blistering batter Heinrich Klaasen will also be there to add some important runs in the middle and death overs. 

All-Rounder:

Wiaan Mulder might be picked as an all-rounder in DSG’s playing XI against MICT. However, he wasn’t up to the mark in the previous appearances. But he is still able to produce some crucial runs with the bat, alongside scalping some wickets with the ball. 

So, the DSG management will look ahead to trust Mulder as an all-rounder pick in the playing XI for the game against MICT. 

Bowlers:

The bowling quartet of Durban’s Super Giants, including skipper Keshav Maharaj and young sensation Noor Ahmad as the specialist spinners. Skipper Maharaj scalped 2 wickets at just 18 runs in his 4 overs in the last game while Noor Ahmad also bowled an economical spell, conceding only 25 runs in four overs and scalping a wicket. 

The spin duo will be accompanied by Naveen-ul-Haq and Junior Dala. Interestingly, the star pacer Naveen-ul-Haq was one of the few ‘good performers with the bat and ball’ in the last game. He scored quick 30 runs off just 15 balls, with 4 fours and a six, alongside scalping a wicket later in the second innings.
