Their bowlers then held their nerves and restricted MICT to 217 runs. Eathan Bosch picked up four wickets, while Kwena Maphaka and Noor Ahmad also bowled well. The Super Giants will look to continue their good form in this match.

Meanwhile, the Joburg Super Kings also won their first game of the season against the Pretoria Capitals by 22 runs. Their batting depth came to use as Akeal Hosein’s blistering cameo (22* off 10) helped them post a total of 168 runs. 

The bowlers then bowled well and restricted PC to 146/9. Duan Jansen (4 wickets) was brilliant for his side. Richard Gleeson (2 wickets) and Wiaan Mulder (1 wicket) also bowled well. The Super Kings will have to pull up their socks against the Super Giants.

SA20 2025/26 6th Match: DSG vs JSK Match Prediction: Who will win?

Durban Super Giants have a quality batting unit, but they may struggle if they lose 2-3 wickets early, as after Markram, none of the batters gives that confidence. While JSK looks a little light on their bowling, as Janco Smith and Dian Forrester are quite inexperienced. 

DSG, too, needs to be disciplined with the ball. But considering quality and team balance, Durban Super Giants should come out victorious in this match.
