The first of Tuesday's Betway SA20 matches sees Pretoria Capitals host Sunrisers Eastern Cape and later on Durban Super Giants take on Joburg Super Kings
Pretoria Capitals vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape
It's been a frustrating start for the Capitals who lost their opening match away to the Super Giants by just 2 runs and their scheduled second outing, also against DSG but this time at Centurion was abandoned before the toss.
In that opening game the Capitals found themselves chasing 210 for victory. Opening pair Will Jacks (64) and Rahmanullah Gurbaz (89) put on 154 for the first wicket in just 12.1 overs before the most spectacular turnaround saw their innings come up just short at 207/6
This was how the Capitals lined up in their opening game against DSG in Durban.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Will Jacks, Steve Stolk, Rilee Rossouw (c), Kyle Verreynne (wk), Liam Livingstone, James Neesham, Senuran Muthusamy, Kyle Simmonds, Eathan Bosch, Daryn Dupavillon
The Sunrisers started at home to MI Cape Town and they were beaten by 97 runs. MI posted 174/7 batting first (Gleeson 2/22, Jansen 2/38) and with only 4 batsmen making it to double figures the Sunrisers were all out for just 77 from 15 of their 20 overs. Next time out the Sunrisers posted 175/5 batting first away to the Royals with Markram making 82 but Paarl knocked it off for the loss of just 1 wicket in 18.4 overs.
This was how the Sunrisers lined up last time out

The Sunrisers need to up their game after 2 heavy defeats and after the Capitals threw away what looked like a comfortable win, gut feel is the visitors can open their account.

Durban Super Giants vs Joburg Super Kings
Noor Ahmad played a big role in the Super Giants remarkable 2 run home win over the Capitals in their opening match, removing both the openers who looked to have taken the game away from them. Kane Williamson had top scored with 60 and Mulder smashed 45 in their bat first total of 209/4 and after the washout in the scheduled return they now set sights on JSK.
This was how DSG lined up in their only completed match so far.

JSK have played just the 1 game so far and they got the better of MI Cape Town by 6 runs (DLS) at The Wanderers on Saturday. They restricted MICT to 140/6 with 4 bowlers taking 1 wicket and a couple of run outs. Rains brought DLS into the equation and JSK got up to the revised target, finishing up on 82/3 in 11.3 overs with Faf du Plessis top scoring with 30.

The Verdict
At the time of writing the weather forecast looked favourable for a full match and after we saw 20 sixes in total in the DSG v PC match at Kingsmead, 15 or more would look to have solid claims.
Bet: Total match sixes over 14.5 at 9/10 with Betway
