Pretoria Capitals host Durban Super Giants in the 12th match of SA20 2025-26 at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Saturday, January 3. The game starts at 5:30 PM local time (9:00 PM IST).
This clash pits the fourth-placed Capitals, with one win from three games, against the third-placed Super Giants, who have one victory from four outings. Expect a day-night T20 with live coverage on JioStar channels and JioHotstar app.
SuperSport Park’s pitch favors pacers, who have snared 74% of wickets in recent T20s, with an average first-innings score around 163. Weather looks clear with daytime highs near 28°C dropping to 17°C at night, low rain risk, and moderate humidity.
Both teams desperately need points to climb the table after mixed starts—Capitals snapped a two-game skid with an 85-run thrashing of MI Cape Town, while Super Giants endured a tie and losses. A win here boosts playoff hopes early in the season, especially for Capitals at home where they’ve won eight of 16 SA20 games.
Pretoria Capitals finally clicked against MI Cape Town, posting 220/5 thanks to Wihan Lubbe’s 60 and Sherfane Rutherford’s 4/24, their first win after losses to Paarl Royals and MI Cape Town. Durban Super Giants sit with one win, two losses, and a tie (lost in Super Over to Joburg Super Kings), struggling after a narrow two-run defense in an earlier meeting with Capitals.
Head-to-Head
Teams have played six SA20 matches, with Durban Super Giants winning three, Pretoria Capitals two, and one no-result. In the last five meetings: DSG won by 2 runs (Jan 2025, Kingsmead), no result (Jan 2025, Centurion), DSG by 8 runs (Jan 2024), PC by 17 runs (Jan 2024), PC by 151 runs (2023).

Pretoria Capitals Analysis
Strengths lie in explosive batting from Will Smeed and Sherfane Rutherford, plus a potent pace attack with Tymal Mills and Lungi Ngidi led by captain Keshav Maharaj. Weaknesses show in early-season inconsistency, but recent momentum with Lubbe’s form and home advantage could turn tides.
Probable XI: Will Smeed, Bryce Parsons, Shai Hope(w), Dewald Brevis, Connor Esterhuizen, Sherfane Rutherford, Wihan Lubbe, Keshav Maharaj(c), Lizaad Williams, Tymal Mills, Lungi Ngidi
Durban Super Giants Analysis
Packed with batting firepower like Jos Buttler, Heinrich Klaasen, and Aiden Markram, plus spin from Noor Ahmad and Simon Harmer, DSG excels in chases but leaks runs lately. Weak spots include away form at Centurion (1 win from 3) and bowling under pressure, despite a strong head-to-head edge.
Probable XI: Kane Williamson, Devon Conway, Jos Buttler, Aiden Markram(c), Heinrich Klaasen(w), Evan Jones, Eathan Bosch, Simon Harmer, David Wiese, Kwena Maphaka, Noor Ahmad
Prediction
Capitals hold the edge at home on a pace-friendly pitch, riding their recent 85-run romp and balanced attack against DSG’s shaky away record. Expect Pretoria to post 170+ and defend, winning by 10-20 runs.
