SA20 Match 8 preview

 


Durban Super Giants vs Paarl Royals at Kingsmead Stadium Durban today. It's going to be another interesting match at the Kingsmead Stadium, and I expect spinners to play a big role as the pitch will be on the slower side like the previous game here.

Both teams will look to continue the winning momentum that they gained from their previous matches and continue winning. I expect a good score to be around the 160 to 170 mark and both teams have the resources to exploit the conditions 

The Durban Super Giants have won the toss and chose to bat and have brought in the extra spinner in place of a seamer and the Royals have made one change due to injury to Shamsi

Durban Super Giants: 1 Kyle Mayers, 2: Quinton de Kock, 3: Wiaan Mulder, 4: Heinrich Klaasen, 5: Dwaine Pretorius, 6: Jason Holder, 7: Keemo Paul, 8: Keshav Maharaj, 9: Simon Harmer, 10: Prenelan Subrayen, 11: Reece Topley
