NB Bay Giants Team News & Playing 11
NMBG Team News
Matthew Breetzke and Farhaan Behardien both dropped out last time out, with Grant Thomson and Marco Marais replacing them. Ben Dunk moved up to open the batting. After a convincing win, that tactic could be deployed again this time out.
NMBG Key Players
Imran Tahir: In excellent wicket-taking form in the Caribbean, the veteran leg-spinner got back to where he left off as he took 3-23 from his four overs to help lead the bowling charge.
Junior Dala: The paceman’s brilliant 3-19 was central to the fine bowling effort against Jozi Stars last time out and took him to six wickets in this year’s tournament.
Jason Roy: Bounced back to form last time out, with four fours and two sixes in an explosive 12-ball 31 at the top of the order. If he can stay in form, there will be plenty more fireworks to come.
NMBG Team Form
Frustrated by the rain when they were well on top against Tshwane Spartans, Nelson Mandela Bay Giants got back on track against Jozi Stars last time out – beating them for the second time in this year’s tournament. They won the first match, at Port Elizabeth, by 24 runs but this second game was a one-sided victory – Junior Dala and Imran Tahir took three wickets each as they bowled the Stars out for 108 and Ben Dunk’s unbeaten half-century led them to a nine-wicket win in just 9.1 overs.

Dale Steyn: Key to the Blitz’s victory when these teams met last season, he was back to his best in the win against Durban Heat last time out as he took 2-23 to move to six wickets in the Mzansi Super League tournament so far.
Quinton de Kock: Still one of the most dangerous T20 openers on his day, as he proved when he hit 41 from 21 balls in the second win against Jozi Stars. He has 107 runs in four matches.
