The match gets underway in Johannesburg at 17:30 local time.
Joburg Super Kings were well beaten by MI Cape Town, Durban’s Super Giants and Paarl Royals in their opening three completed matches so the win on Saturday was a surprise. However, they will need to be at their best once more if they are to get another victory this time.
Seeing how a team responds to defeat is always an indication of their strength and Paarl Royals passed the test with flying colours as they avenged their 8 wicket defeat in Match 11 by beating the same opposition by 59 runs on Sunday. They will fancy their chances at the Wanderers Stadium.

JSK Team News
After finally getting their first victory of the season of SA20 2024, we are not expecting to see any changes to the Joburg Super Kings XI in this match on Wednesday. Reeza Hendricks and Faf du Plessis continue to struggle at the top of the order but we do not anticipate either dropping down the order.
JSK Key Players
- Leus du Plooy - The number three batter has been in strong form and he hit another three sixes in the win over Pretoria Capitals.
- Donovan Ferreira - The keeper-batter was the difference between the Super Kings losing again and winning with two overs to spare. His 56 not out from 20 balls was nothing short of sensational.
- Lizaad Williams - The right-arm medium fast bowler has a strike-rate of 9.33 in this tournament and took 3/26 in the Match 13 victory.
- Nandre Burger - The left-arm pace bowler produced his best display of the competition and dismissed Will Jacks followed by Rilee Rossouw from his first nine balls of the game.
