Considering the team combination, Durban Super Giants is expected to win this match.

MICT vs DSG Match Preview

When the two teams met on Tuesday, only 11 overs were feasible in Durban before the skies opened and rain forced the game to be called off. As a result, both locker rooms will have a sense of 'unfinished business' as they prepare for Saturday's match. Although the Super Giants are at the bottom of the table, they're only two points behind the top four, so they still have plenty of time to make the playoffs and extend their season.

Considering the team combination, MI Cape Town is expected to win this match.

Based on past events, Durban's Super Giants should breeze through this match, but based on the league table, MI Cape Town will have an easy time! It will be interesting to see if history or the table provides the most insight into this day-night battle in Durban at Kingsmead. We are halfway through the 2025 SA20 season for the two teams Super Giants and MI, who have each played five games. That additionally implies that the Super Giants have plenty of time to climb the table, while MI may still fall. When the teams last met in January of 2024, the Super Giants won by 36 runs, thanks to Matthew Breetzke's runs.

In contrast, the Durban Super Giants won their first game but have since lost all of their subsequent games.

The previous season's finalists were the Durban Super Giants and Sunrisers Eastern Cape, with the latter winning the championship. However, this season, the tables have been turned. Sunrisers Eastern Cape have dropped three consecutive games, while Durban Super Giants have won one and drawn one in their first three games. Sunrisers Eastern Cape's bowling and batting units have both been severely underperforming this season. Thus, we believe the Durban Super Giants will have a slight advantage over the Sunrisers Eastern Cape in this game. Considering the team combination, Durban Super Giants is expected to win this match.

JSK vs DSG Match Preview

The Durban Super Giants won the first game of their 2025 SA20 campaign in their stadium by two runs. Skipper Keshav Maharaj expects his bowlers to perform better against the Super Kings' strong batting lineup. Last year, the Johannesburg Super Kings won only three of their ten matches. They lost badly to the Durban Super Giants in their second Qualifier match. This campaign, the Super Kings are off to a great start, defeating MI Cape Town in their first game. The bowlers were exceptional, holding the opposition to 140 all 6. David Wiese, Lutho Sipamla, and Tabraiz Shamsi are the main wicket-takers in this squad.

JSK vs DSG Probable Winners:

It is going to be a close contest between the two evenly matched teams. In terms of squad strength, neither team has a clear advantage. However, the Durban Super Giants have the home advantage and are slightly ahead of our match prediction. Considering the team combination, Durban Super Giants is expected to win this match.

Former Proteas legend Graeme Smith's negative remarks over ILT20 did not go down so well with David White, the CEO of the marquee league. Smith had previously stated that the league is not good for the game and offered an example of how SA20 remains committed towards fostering the growth and development of local players and the South African domestic cricket system. 

In a retaliatory response, White responded by saying that the country has significantly profited from this league and they continuously look to play a crucial role for all major cricketing tournaments around the world that look to seek support during the final stages.

White issues a check response to Smith's criticism 

The ILT20 chief launches an attack on Smith by stating that it is never in their policy to comment about other leagues. In addition, White also stressed that the league offers a platform to those who come from associate nations such as Nepal, Malaysia, USA, Scotland, and Netherlands. The league recognizes the need to cater to the growth and exposure of the associate players, a commitment that remains to be seen in the SA20 league.  

"Oh, Mr. Smith, it's not our policy to speak about other leagues. We are the only league in the world that provides a platform for the associate countries to participate at this level. We've got players from Nepal, Malaysia, USA, Scotland, Netherlands, Namibia, and Italy." 

Furthermore, White also refuted Smith's remarks by stating that the money earned by the league goes back into the game. Although he understands that Smith has a say on this topic, he probably felt that the former SA legend should have taken more time to investigate and reach a valid conclusion. While defending his league, Smith also lauded the facilities of the UAE and highlighted how the country has been a major source of influence in the cricketing world and the wide Gulf region.

"Listen, he's entitled to his comments, but I just think that his comments have been made without doing any investigation, maybe he should have taken the time to look at what we're looking to achieve, what we are achieving and the importance that this league has in terms of the growth of cricket in the UAE, the wider Gulf and the international game. It's easy to dismiss the influence of the UAE. The UAE has got unbelievable facilities and privately invested facilities, and it is the backstop for all the ICC events."

UAE always at ICC's rescue amid last-minute hiccups

UAE has always been a go-to location for the ICC and is ever-ready to play host to any major tournament even at the 11th hour. At a time when India was grappling with the negative consequences of COVID-19 in 2020 & 2021, ICC made arrangements to shift the T20 World Cup to the UAE while a majority of the matches from the two IPL editions were also hosted in UAE. 

Following the political turmoil in Bangladesh last year, the ICC had no option but to shift the 2024 Women's T20 out of that country. With less than two months to go before kick-off, the UAE once again emerged as the front-runner for hosting the marquee event. At present, UAE is set to jointly host the Champions Trophy 2025 along with Pakistan. If PCB fails to deliver the Pakistan stadiums on time, ICC have the option of hosting the entire tournament in the UAE. 

Durban Super Giants Edge Out Pretoria Capitals in Last-Over Thriller

A Nail-Biting Finish at Kingsmead

The Durban Super Giants (DSG) got an exciting victory by just two runs against Pretoria Capitals (PC) on Friday in an intense SA20 game at Kingsmead. PC nearly reached the goal, chasing a tough target of 209/4 set by DSG, thanks to an amazing start from Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Will Jacks, who put up 154 runs together at the very start. But in the end, they simply could not do it.

Gurbaz and Jacks Shine in a Powerful Opening Stand

Gurbaz began things for the Capitals in a great way, scoring a really big 89 from only 43 balls, and he hit seven big hits that crossed the boundary without touching the ground. Jacks assisted him by scoring a quick 64 from 35 balls, which set them for what appeared to be a simple victory but then, the bowlers from DSG pulled off a wonderful change and limited the Capitals to 207/6 in their 20 overs.

CHASING 210 RUNS.

Maharaj and Naveen Hold Nerve in Final Overs

DSG needed to stop the Capitals from obtaining 14 runs in the last over to win. Their bowlers were really marvelous under pressure, giving up only one boundary and grasped an exciting win. The score was tied when Naveen-ul-Haq took out James Neesham for just 3 runs. Everyone thought Liam Livingstone would be the hero for the Capitals because he's a very strong batter.But, Keshav Maharaj, the head of DSG, demonstrated his skills and got Livingstone out when he had only made 13 runs.
