Who will win Jozi Stars vs Tshwane Spartans, WBBL 2019?
Out-of-form Jozi Stars will bid to end their five-game losing streak when they take on Tshwane Spartans in the Mzansi Super League at the Wanderers, Johannesburg. The match takes place on November 24 and is scheduled to start at 14:00 local time.
Jozi Stars have lost all five matches they have played this season, with their batting falling well below par so far. That continued in the Stars’ most recent defeat – a four-wicket loss to Paarl Rocks after posting just 129/3 from their 20 overs.
Tshwane Spartans, on the other hand, have only managed to complete one game because of the weather. They did win that match, however – Dean Elgar starring in an eight-wicket win against Paarl Rocks. He was in good form again last time out, but the rain curtailed their match against Durban Heat with them well on course for victory.

Jozi Stars Team News & Playing 11
JS Team News
Ryan Rickleton replaced injured Gerald Coetzee last time out, moving up the order to open as Chris Gayle dropped to three. This will be Gayle’s final appearance, before Shoaib Malik takes over.
JS Key Players
Rassie van der Dussen: Starred in this fixture last season, as he did in most games, and showed signs his form could be returning with an unbeaten 30 last time out. Now he needs to ramp the run rates back up again.
Kagiso Rabada: Claimed 2-24 last time out as he showed a return to wicket-taking form. The paceman now has five wickets in as many games.
Reeza Hendricks: Opened the tournament with scores of 80 and 62 and hit three fours on his way to a patient 40 from 34 balls last time out too.
JS Team Form
Jozi Stars have lost five from five this season. Their batting, led by Reeza Hendricks in their first two games, showed signs to be positive but it has fallen well short since. They were bowled out for 126 and 108 in their next two matches and struggled to 129/3 last time out – on their way to a four-wicket defeat.
Jozi Stars Predicted Playing 11
Ryan Rickleton, Reeza Hendricks, Chris Gayle, Rassie van der Dussen, Temba Bavuma (c), Dan Christian, Sinethemba Qeshile (wk), Simon Harmer, Kagiso Rabada, Duanne Olivier, Aaron Phangiso
Tshwane Spartans Team News & Playing 11
TS Team News
Wiaan Mulder replaced Donavon Ferreira last time out and could retain his place after the rain denied him the chance to prove his worth with the ball. Tshwane Spartans might otherwise elect for the same team that had put them in such a commanding position before the weather curtailed their efforts.
TS Key Players
AB de Villiers: The big-hitting South African remains one of the world’s most dangerous batsmen in limited-overs cricket and, against a struggling Stars team, he could fill his boots.
Dean Elgar: Started the tournament with 88* from 60 balls and followed that up last time out by hitting seven fours on his way to 57* from 37 balls.
Lungi Ngidi: The fit-again paceman showed what he offers with the ball when he took wickets with each of the first two deliveries last time out. He now has 61 in 51 T20 innings.
TS Team Form
Rain has meant only one of Tshwane Spartans’ four matches so far has reached a conclusion. That was the match against Paarl Rocks, when Dean Elgar smashed 88* to lead a chase of 186 to win by eight wickets with five balls to spare. Last time out, Elgar’s 57* had led the Spartans to 141/4 from 15 overs when the rain came against Durban Heat. Durban were set a revised 66 to win from five overs, and the Spartans were well on top when Lungi Ngidi took wickets with each of the first two balls. The rain returned, however, forcing yet another no result.
Tshwane Spartans Predicted Playing 11
Theunis de Bruyn, Dean Elgar, AB de Villiers, Heinrich Klaasen (c, wk), Pite van Biljon, Wiaan Mulder, Roelof van der Merwe, Tom Curran, Morne Morkel, Lungi Ngidi, Lutho Sipamla
