JS Team News

Jozi Stars could pick Dwaine Pretorius ahead of Duanne Olivier for this upcoming match against Nelson Mandela Bay Giants. Ryan Rickelton and Reeza Hendricks will continue to open the batting with Rassie van der Dussen coming in next at number three. Kagiso Rabada and Simon Harmer will be leading the Stars' bowling attack.

JS Key Players

Ryan Rickelton and Rassie van der Dussen have been the most impressive batsmen for Jozi Stars and these two will hold the key to their batting. Reeza Hendricks cracked a half-century recently against Tshwane Spartans and the team will want him to replicate that performance in this match. Skipper Dane Vilas has chipped in with a few decent contributions and he is going to be a key member in the middle order. On the bowling front, the Stars will bank on the likes of Simon Harmer, Kagiso Rabada and Beuran Hendricks to do the damage. Harmer has been their most successful bowler so far and the off-spinner is a top candidate to finish with the best figures in this match. Rabada will look to maintain the pressure on the Giants from the other end and his express pace is what will make him a big threat on this pitch.

JS Recent Form

Jozi Stars find themselves in a desperate situation being stuck in the bottom-half of the points table. They lost their campaign opener to Nelson Mandela Bay Giants by five wickets before thrashing Paarl Rocks by 60 runs in their second match. The Stars, however, failed to build on that win as they suffered back-to-back defeats against Cape Town Blitz and Tshwane Spartans.
