Durban Super Giants
Over the weekend the Super Ginats were involved in a double header with Paarl Royals and they won both matches, by 57 runs in Paarl and then by 125 runs at Kingsmead. Matthew Breetzke was Man of the Match in Sunday's crushing victory, top scoring with 78 and Klaasen's 17 ball 50 at the end of the innings helped the Super Giants post 208/7. Noor Ahmed then took 5 wickets for just 11 runs in 3.2 overs as the Royals were bowled out for just 83 in 13.2 overs.
At the time of writing DSG were in top spot in the standings with 6 wins and 2 defeats and their total of 28 points is 6 better than the Royals and both sides have 2 matches to play. The Sunrisers are in third with 19 points and 3 games to play and reminder the top finishers get an extra crack at reaching the final.
This was how the Super Giants lined up last time out.
Tony de Zorzi, Matthew Breetzke, JJ Smuts, Quinton de Kock (wk), Heinrich Klaasen, Marcus Stoinis, Wiaan Mulder, Keshav Maharaj (c), Reece Topley, Noor Ahmad, Naveen-ul-Haq
Did not play: Dwaine Pretorius, Prenelan Subrayen, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Kyle Mayers, Jason Smith, Junior Dala, Richard Gleeson, Keemo Paul, Bryce Parsons
Pretoria Capitals
The Capitals scheduled clash with JSK on Saturday was washed out with JSK on 44/2 after 4.4 overs. The Capitals have won 2 and lost 4 of their matches and with 1 no result they have 10 log points, That leaves them still in the mix for a play off spot, most likely a third or fourth placed finish with this match and a double header with MI Cape Town to come.
The Capital most recent completed match delivered a much needed win over the Sunrisers nd it was mighty close as they held on for a 3 run victory. Batting first the Capitals were all out for 125 (Neesham 27) in 18.3 overs. That didn't look anywhere near enough but 3 wickets each for Rashid and Parnell helped and Dupavillon conceded just 7 in the final over.
Earlier in the tournament the Capitals beat the Super Giants by 17 runs at Centurion when they defended 204/9 with Will Jacks smashing a ton.
This is how the Capitals lined up last time out

The Verdict
The Capitals are one of only 2 sides to beat the Super Giants this season and they need a result to boost their play off hopes but DSG are back in the groove and in addition to a formidable batting line up their spinners have really impressed recently.
I'm hoping the spinners will have a big say and will take my chances with under 69.5 as the highest individual score.
Bets: Highest Individual Score under 69.5 runs at 17/20 with Pokerbet
