DSG vs JSK T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Qualifier SA20 2024
Qualifier 2 of the 2024 SA20 takes place at the Wanderers Stadium as Joburg Super Kings go head to head with Durban’s Super Giants with a place in the final against Sunrisers Eastern Cape up for grabs. The Super Kings beat Paarl Royals in Wednesday’s Eliminator with the Super Giants losing to Sunrisers in Qualifier 1. Read on as we preview the fixture. This match gets underway at 17:30 local time in Johannesburg on Thursday February 8th.
Joburg Super Kings were disappointing for the majority of the group stage but managed to get into the top four and have found their best form at the right time of the tournament. We expect them to be very competitive in this Qualifier 2 clash.
Durban Super Giants have only lost three games all season but two of those have come from their last two matches. Confidence will not be as high as it has been earlier in the competition but the Super Giants still have plenty of match-winners.

DSG vs JSK Pitch Report
Although Paarl Royals were dismissed for 138 in the Eliminator at the Wanderers Stadium, this is still a good batting wicket. There is some pace in the pitch but the spinners will also get some turn and bounce.
Johannesburg Weather Report
Mostly cloudy conditions in Johannesburg with the temperature in the high twenties and no threat of rain from start to finish is the forecast ahead of Thursday evening.

There was one change for Durban’s Super Giants ahead of Qualifier 1 with Keemo Paul heading off for the T20I series between Australia and West Indies and Junior Dala coming into the side. Dala will certainly keep his place for this game and we are not expecting any changes.

JSK Team News
An injury to key bowler Lizaad Williams meant an opportunity for Sam Cook in the Joburg Super Kings XI for the first time this season in the Eliminator. Williams is not expected to be back for this game which also means that Wayne Madsen will miss out due to the four overseas player rule.

Who will win Durban Super Giants vs Joburg Super Kings T20 Match?
With Leus du Plooy and Faf du Plessis flying at the top of the order, it is very hard to not select Joburg Super Kings as the top team ahead of this game. But, Heinrich Klaasen has done it so many times over the last 24 months that we have Durban’s Super Giants as the top side ahead of the Qualifier 1.
🏆 Durban Super Giants vs Joburg Super Kings Prediction
The last game between these two sides took place only five games before this match and the fixture was only decided with 1 ball remaining. It was Joburg Super Kings who won that game and they will be full of confidence on Thursday at a ground where they won on Wednesday. However, Durban’s Super Giants have been one of the top sides throughout the tournament and we are backing them to win this Qualifier 2.
