Match 28 of the SA20 takes place at Centurion Park on Sunday night and pits the Pretoria Capitals against the Durban Super Giants. Even though they still have two games left to play, the Capitals have already earned a spot in the playoffs as group winners. With one game left, the Super Giants sit in fifth place. In Centurion, play begins at 17:30 local time.
Pretoria Capitals are expected to field a very strong starting lineup against Durban’s Super Giants, despite the temptation to rest players now that the playoffs are guaranteed.
The Super Giants of Durban have match-winners on their team, but they haven’t been consistent throughout the league. If they want to defeat the Capitals, they will need to put up their best season-long effort.
