DUR vs JOH T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, SA20 2023
Durban Super Giants and Joburg Super Kings go head to head in Match 2 of the SA20 at Kingsmead on Wednesday evening. The Super Giants will be coached by former big-hitting bowling all-rounder Lance Klusener with the Super Kings led by Stephen Fleming. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway in Durban at 17:30 local time.
Durban Super Giants have assembled an excellent set of players and we expect them to compete at the top end of the SA20 league table. However, the Super Kings are a very tough opponent for the first game.
Joburg Super Kings have batting power throughout their line-up and, with that knowledge, we expect their top order to attack from the first ball. Durban Super Giants will find them very hard to stop.

Durban Super Giants Team News & Playing 11
DUR Team News
Dwaine Pretorius announced his international retirement on the eve of this tournament and he will be a floating player who can bat in various positions in the Super Giants line-up. We expect Kyle Mayers, Jason Holder and Reece Topley to be the overseas players selected in this game.
DUR Key Players
- Quinton de Kock - The keeper-batter will captain the side as well as open the innings. He has plenty of experience across the best T20 leagues and hit the third highest IPL score of 140 not out from 70 balls last May.
- Kyle Mayers - The West Indian all-rounder is predominantly a batter in this format but still chips in with useful wickets. He hit three half-centuries and finished as the second highest run scorer in last year’s Caribbean Premier League.
- Reece Topley - The tall left-arm pace bowler was unfortunate to miss the T20 World Cup with a freak injury but is now back to full fitness. He has been in excellent form over the last two years.

JOH Team News
Stephen Fleming has an excellent reputation in T20 cricket and we expect him to get the most out of a very talented group of players in this match. Maheesh Theekshana will miss this game due to the India v Sri Lanka ODI series which begins on Tuesday.
JOH Key Players
- Reeza Hendricks - The international opener hit four successive IT20 half-centuries last summer but was controversially left out of South Africa’s XIs during the T20 World Cup. He will have a point to prove in this match.
- Harry Brook - The new star of English cricket batted brilliantly in Pakistan during the IT20 and Test series late last year. He has an excellent short-format record in the PSL and T20 Blast.
- Alzarri Joseph - The West Indian pace bowler finished last year’s CPL as the tournament’s top wicket taker and was in excellent form across the globe in franchise, domestic and international cricket in 2022.

Who will win Durban Super Giants vs Joburg Super Kings T20 Match?
Although Quinton de Kock has the ability to win a T20 game on his own, we think the Joburg Super Kings have a stronger batting line-up and expect that to be the main difference between the sides.
🏆 Durban Super Giants vs Joburg Super Kings Prediction
Although there is always a bit of unknown in these opening games of any new tournament, the quality of players on show and the excellent coaches means that we can be guaranteed an entertaining clash. Both sides have good bowling attacks but it is the batting where we see the most quality. Overall, we think the Super Kings have more T20 ability in the batting department and are predicting a victory for them.
