Durban Super Giants will face MI Cape Town in the second match of the 2024 SA20 tournament on Thursday evening at Kingsmead. These were the bottom two teams in last season’s SA20, with the Super Giants missing out on the play-offs due to net-run-rate. Last year, the Durban Super Giants finished level on points in the group stage with the eventual competition winners, Sunrisers Eastern Cape. As a result, they were very close to having a successful tournament. We believe they will get off to a winning start. MI Cape Town, who were the most disappointing team in the competition’s debut season, will suffer as a result of the injury to captain Rashid Khan. However, their team is loaded with top-tier T20 players, and their in-house bowling attack will cause problems.

We agree with many cricket experts that this game will be very close, with the key battle being between Kagiso Rabada and the Durban Super Giants batting lineup. If Rabada can dismiss a few big names, his team will have a great chance. Overall, we believe the Durban Super Giants have a slightly stronger lineup and are backing them to win this game. Considering the team combination, Durban Super Giants is expected to win this match.
