Match Preview
Durban Super Giants – Team Form
Durban Super Giants looked very strong with the bat in the opening match. Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Jos Buttler, Heinrich Klaasen, and Aiden Markram all contributed, showing great depth in batting.
Scoring 232 in the first game has given them confidence, and now playing at home makes them even more dangerous.
MI Cape Town – Team Form
MI Cape Town fought hard but fell short despite a brilliant century by Ryan Rickelton (113). Jason Smith’s quick 41 was also impressive, but the rest of the batting unit failed.
Their biggest concern remains bowling, especially at the death. Captain Rashid Khan will expect a much better performance from his bowlers in this match.

Durban Super Giants have a more settled and in-form batting lineup. Almost all their top batters contributed in the first match, which gives them a big edge.
MI Cape Town rely heavily on Ryan Rickelton, and unless other batters step up, they may struggle again—especially against a strong Super Giants batting unit.
