The Verdict
The JSK openers have played a huge role in getting their side into the play offs and through to the second qualifier and their last 2 wins both came on home turf.
I'm still of the opinion the DSG have the greater hitting power though and I will go with them to hit the most sixes.
Bets: Most Sixes, Durban Super Giants at 17/20 with Betway
