Pretoria Capitals host the Joburg Super Kings in the Betway SA20 at Centurion on Tuesday, a must win game for the hosts in the chase for a play off spot
Pretoria Capitals
With a record of 1 win, 4 defeats and 2 no results the Capitals have 9 points which is 6 shy of their opponents here who currently occupy fourth spot, the last of the play off places. After this the Capitals take on MI Cape Town home and then away and they have no room for error if they are to stay in the tournament.
Their only win came at this venue against the Sunrisers in what was their third outing. No play was possible in another home game against DSG and Paarl Royals won here by 8 wickets. That defeat to Paarl was the first of 3 consecutive losses for the Capitals who subsequently went down by 52 runs to the Sunrisers at St. George's and most recently they lost by 11 runs in the return with the Royals in Paarl..

Joburg Super Kings
JSK have won 3 and lost 3 of their 7 matches with the first clash against the Capitals at The Wanderers washed out. They won their first 2 matches and had to wait until until Sunday for their next victory, a 9 wicket demolition of SEC at The Wanderers where Viljeon (4 wickets) and Simpala (3) helped bowl out SEC for just 118.
After this JSK finish up the round robin with home games against the Royals and DSG.

The Verdict
At the time of writing the weather forecast looked good and given the position the Capitals are in they have to go for it. JSK also have some serious firepower and given the most recent match here saw both sides score 200 + I fancy the batsmen from both sides to chalk up a total of 16 or more sixes
Bet: Total match sixes over 15.5 at 9/10 with Betway
