Courtesy of two back-to-back wins, Durban Super Giants are at the top of the points table. Up next, they are slated to face Joburg Super Kings, who have struggled massively in the last match against MI Cape Town. Their bowlers looked very average as Rassie van der Dussen hit an incredible century while Ryan Rickelton made 98 runs off 49 deliveries.

The Faf du Plessis-led side went on to lose the match by 98 runs and with that, they are currently fifth on the points table. They have a lot of room for improvement, especially the bowling, as five out of six bowlers leaked more than ten runs per over in the last match. When it comes to batting, the top order failed against Cape Town but Leus du Plooy and Romario Shepherd showed some intent, which helped the team post 145 runs on the board.

Durban, on the other hand, will be confident of their chances. JJ Smuts, Nicholas Pooran and Heinrich Klaasen are in remarkable form with the bat, while Richard Gleeson and Dwaine Pretorius have done a good job with the ball. Quinton de Kock’s form is a bit concerning but they have a lot of batters who can play a similar brand of cricket and thus, the team management won’t worry much at the moment.
