Durban Super Giants and Joburg Super Kings will lock horns in the second game of the SA20 2023 on Wednesday (January 11) in Kingsmead, Durban.
The Giants will be captained by Quinton de Kock, who's one of the most powerful strikers of the ball. Johnson Charles is a globetrotter in T20s and is likely to open with De Kock. Heinrich Klaasen and Christiaan Jonker will bring in a lot of power in the middle order.
Jason Holder and Dwaine Pretorius are handy all-rounders, and a lot will depend on them. Keshav Maharaj and Akila Dananjaya should take care of the spin-bowling department. Hardus Viljeon, Reece Topley and Junior Dala are the specialist pacers in the team.
The Kings, meanwhile, will be captained by Faf du Plessis, who's fresh from playing for Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League. Janneman Malan and Kyle Verreynne have put in strong performances for South Africa, so the Kings will look up to them to repeat those exploits in franchise cricket.
Alzarri Joseph will be high on confidence after becoming the leading wicket-taker in international cricket last year. Romario Shepherd is a big man and is more than effective as an all-rounder. Lewis Gregory will need to bring to the fore the truckload of experience he has.
