In the second match of the ongoing SA20, Durban Super Giants and Pretoria Capitals will be squaring off against each other on Friday at Kingsmead, Durban. This is the first match for both teams in new season of the tournament as they look ahead to kick off the proceedings on a winning note. Super Giants had an exceptional season last year, finishing up as a runner-up after losing to Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the final. 

Heading into the new season, Giants strengthened their squad by adding experienced players like Kane Williamson, Brandon King and Chris Woakes to their squad. They already have the availability of explosive batters Heinrich Klaasen and Quinton de Kock.  

Pretoria Capitals, meanwhile, didn't have a good season last year, winning only three games out of ten. They suffered defeats in six games, while their one game ended in no result. They finished on fifth spot in the points table. Going into new season, Capitals will eye a positive start.
