The high-stakes clash between Durban Super Giants and Pretoria Capitals is set to take place at SuperSport Park in Centurion where the two teams will face each other for the second time in the SA20 2025 league. The match will commence at 7:00 PM IST on January 12 and promises to be a thrilling clash.

Durban Super Giants

The Durban Super Giants, one of the prominent teams in the SA20 League, began their 2025 campaign on a high note after a dramatic opening victory against Pretoria Capitals. Defending 210, the Super Giants held their nerve to secure a thrilling two-run win, underlining a promising start to the new season. 

This triumph came as a statement of intent following their disappointment in the 2024 final, where they fell short against Sunrisers Eastern Cape, bowled out for just 115 in pursuit of 205. With renewed focus and determination, the Keshav Maharaj-led side aims to build on their opening success and reclaim their shot at the prestigious SA20 title.

Pretoria Capitals

The Pretoria Capitals, known for their dynamic approach in the SA20 League, began their 2025 season with a narrow defeat against the Durban Super Giants. Despite a valiant chase of 209, the Capitals fell just two runs short, showcasing resilience but missing out on a winning start. 

This follows a mixed performance in the latter stages of the previous season, where inconsistency hindered their campaign. However, with a blend of experienced players and fresh talent, the Rilee Rossouw will be eager to bounce back and avenge their loss against the Super Giants.

DSG vs PC: What Happened When They Last Played?

The last time the two teams met was an electric affair in the 2nd match of this SA20 season. The Durban Super Giants clinched a thrilling last-ball victory over the Pretoria Capitals, edging them out by just two runs to secure their first win in the SA20 2025 season. 

After opting to bat, the Super Giants posted an imposing 209/4, propelled by Wiaan Mulder's blistering 45* off 19 balls, Kane Williamson's composed 60* off 40 on his SA20 debut, and Bryce Parsons' quickfire 47. Capitals' Senuran Muthusamy fought back with impressive figures of 3/21, but the Giants’ top-order dominance set the stage.

In reply, the Capitals’ openers Will Jacks (64 off 35) and Rahmanullah Gurbaz (89 off 43) electrified with a record 154-run partnership. However, wrist-spinner Noor Ahmad's key breakthroughs and Navin-ul-Haq's composed final over turned the tide. Skipper Keshav Maharaj's tactical brilliance, including a crucial 19th over where he conceded just three runs and dismissed Liam Livingstone, ensured the Giants' defence held strong despite the Capitals' fiery start.
