Match Preview
Durban Super Giants started the tournament well by beating MI Cape Town, but things have gone downhill since then. One match was washed out, and they have lost two back-to-back games against Joburg Super Kings, including a heartbreaking Super Over defeat. Despite having a strong batting lineup, their bowling—especially at the death—has let them down.
Pretoria Capitals finally got their first win of the season in their last match against MI Cape Town. Sherfane Rutherford was the hero with an outstanding all-round show, picking up four wickets and smashing an unbeaten 47 off just 15 balls. That performance has boosted team confidence ahead of this clash.

PC vs DSG Match Prediction – Who Will Win?
Durban Super Giants have one of the strongest batting lineups in the tournament, but their bowling—especially in the final overs—has been a major weakness. They have already conceded 200+ totals more than once this season.
Pretoria Capitals, on the other hand, are coming into this match with momentum after a strong all-round performance in their previous game. Their bowlers looked disciplined, and the batting finally clicked.
Rain could make this match tricky, and bowling first may offer an advantage. Overall, Pretoria Capitals look slightly more balanced at the moment.
Match Prediction: Pretoria Capitals to win
