The 2nd game of this season’s SA20 competition will see the Durban Super Giants take on MI Cape Town at Kingsmead in Durban. Both these teams had tough campaigns last year and will want to turn things around. While the Super Giants missed out on qualification owing to their inferior net run rate, MICT had a horrendous season as they finished with their wooden spoon. However, the new season will provide both teams with new opportunities.

Pitch Report

While not a graveyard for batsmen, Kingsmead’s pitch throws down a decent challenge. The average first innings score of 153 tells the story: accumulating runs here doesn’t come easy. Expect to see batsmen digging deep and building partnerships, rather than explosive six-hitting bonanzas. The second innings average dipping down into the 130s further reinforces this point.

Over 22 matches, teams chasing have claimed 9 victories compared to 11 for those setting the target. As such, there’s not a clear indication of what is the right thing to do upon winning the toss.
