TEAMS PREVIEW
Joburg Super Kings Preview
Joburg Super Kings’ season opener against Sunrisers Eastern Cape was washed off without a ball being bowled.
Joburg Super Kings advanced to the semi-finals of the previous edition of the SA20. Unfortunately, they were defeated by Sunrisers Eastern Cape and failed to qualify for the Finals.
Assembling a dynamic squad, Joburg Super Kings are poised for another exciting season under the leadership of the former South African captain and seasoned T20 player, Faf du Plessis. The skipper was the leading run-getter of the team in the previous edition, scoring 369 runs at a strike rate of 147.60.
The formidable top three are expected to feature the robust opener alongside South Africa's Reeza Hendricks and England's World Cup Champion, Moeen Ali.
Adding to their strength, the Super Kings possess an array of exciting all-rounders in David Wiese, Romario Shepherd, and Gerald Coetzee, offering a solid alternative should the top order face challenges.
Nandre Burger, South Africa's latest pace sensation, is likely to spearhead the bowling attack for the Super Kings. His impressive debut against India recently showed his capability of taking early wickets. Gerald Coetzee, with 17 scalps under his belt last season, will also be an important part of this bowling unit.
Keep a close eye on Romario Shepherd, a master of white-ball bowling, especially during the thrilling death overs.
Joburg Super Kings Predicted Playing XI:
Faf du Plessis (c), Reeza Hendricks, Wayne Madsen, Leus du Plooy, Moeen Ali, David Wiese, Donovan Ferreira (wk), Romario Shepherd, Gerald Coetzee, Nandre Burger, Zahir Khan
Joburg Super Kings Actual Playing XI:
Faf du Plessis, Leus du Plooy, Reeza Hendricks, Ronan Hermann, Moeen Ali, Nandre Burger, Donovan Ferreira, Romario Shepherd, Imran Tahir, Lizaad Williams, Zahir Khan
MI Cape Town Preview
MI Cape Town lost their season opener to Durban Super Giants. In the high-scoring match, MI blasted 207-5 in their 20 overs, with Ryan Rickelton smashing 87 off 51 balls and captain Kieron Pollard (31* off 14 balls) providing the perfect finishing touch. In reply, the Super Giants were 177-6 in 16.3 overs before rain interrupted proceedings, and no further play was possible. The Super Giants won the match as they were ahead by 11 runs via the DLS method.
Rassie van der Dussen is a steady performer in all formats, with a highest score of 112 not out in T20 cricket. The right-hander is our pick for MI Cape Town's leading run scorer on Saturday.
Dewald Brevis and Liam Livingstone bolster the team's middle order, while Pollard and Sam Curran can chip in with useful cameos.
With a solid bowling attack, the team expects Kagiso Rabada and Beuran Hendricks to have a strong start with the new ball. Rabada's impressive performance in the last game, where he took two wickets for 23 runs in three overs, boosts the team's confidence.
Sam Curran would like to use his experience to bowl well in the middle overs alongside Olly Stone.
MI Cape Town Predicted Playing XI:
Dewald Brevis, Connor Esterhuizen, Rassie van der Dussen, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Liam Livingstone, Kieron Pollard (c), Thomas Kaber, Sam Curran, Kagiso Rabada, Beuran Hendricks, Olly Stone

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The wickets in Wanderers Stadium are batting friendly for limited-overs cricket. Expect the same for this game. Seam bowlers will get some zip with the new ball, but once the shine wears off, batters can play with ease. Spinners will have to vary their lengths and be on target to be effective.
The weather in Johannesburg is expected to be partly sunny, with a chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon.
JSK vs MICT Pitch Report
The average score batting first in Wanderers is 164. The highest total posted here is 239-3 by Jozi Stars against Tshwane Spartans in the 2018 Mzansi Super League. This is the first match of the season to be played here, and the pitch should be pretty hard and full of runs. The team batting first should look to set a target of around 180-190 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
Rain is expected at some point during the day, so the team winning the toss is likely to field first.
JSK vs MICT
Winning Prediction
MI Cape Town have now lost each of their last five matches. They have a solid team but fail to get the winning momentum going. In contrast, Joburg Super Kings look a lot more balanced and have all bases covered. We reckon their batters should dominate this contest and help them come out on top.
Back Joburg Super Kings as the winners of this match.
