Joburg Super Kings are all geared up to face the Pretoria Capitals in match number 13 of the SA20 2024, which will take place at the home ground of the Super Kings, Johannesburg, on the 20th of January. While the Super Kings are still searching for their first win of the tournament, the Capitals finally sealed their first win in the last game, which was against Durban Super Giants.
While the Pretoria Capitals have found a way to make a comeback in the tournament, the Super Kings are still sitting at the bottom with zero wins, and winning every game from here is the only option for them to make a comeback in the tournament.
JSK vs PRC: Team Previews
Joburg Super Kings
Leus du Plooy scored a half-century in the last game (X.com)
The Kings haven't been playing a great brand of cricket and have been miserable when it comes to the batting department. Despite having the likes of Reeza Hendricks, Faf Du Plessis, and Moeen Ali, they have been playing up to their standards. Faf Du Plessis, who is leading the team, is yet to score the 10-run mark in an innings.
On the other hand, Leus du Plooy seems to be playing on different tracks considering he is the only batter who has been among the runs and also played a brilliant innings of 71 runs off just 43 deliveries. The other players need to step up in order to help JSK get their first win of the tournament. Coming into this game, JSK can make a few changes to provide strength in the batting line-up.
When it comes to bowling, JSK have been decent enough with the bowl and have managed to pick wickets as well. Lizaad Williams is turning out to be the foremost bowler from JSK, having picked up six wickets in just three games. The other bowlers have been contributing by picking up wickets at regular intervals as well.
Pretoria Capitals
Will Jacks scored a ton in the last game (X.com)
After losing the first two games, Pretoria Capitals had a great win over the Durban Super Giants, and now they would look to continue this winning momentum in the coming games. Will Jacks turned out to be the premier performer, contributing with both the bat and the ball.
While batting at the top, Will Jacks went on to smash a century, helped the Capitals post a total of 204 runs, and took two wickets as well. Colin Ingram also stood up and played a brilliant knock of 43 runs off just 23 deliveries.
The bowling was uptight as well in the previous game, restricting DSG to just 187. Wayne Parnell, James Neesham, Hardus Viljoen, and Will Jacks stepped up and picked wickets at the crucial stages of the game to seal their first win of the tournament. They will gain immense confidence from this game and similarly apply their skills in the coming games.

JSK vs PRC: Winner Prediction
Despite having the home advantage, the Joburg Super Kings have not been the best team this season and are yet to win a game.
However, even the Pretoria Capitals sealed their first win of the season in the last game, but considering the number of players the Capitals have in form, they will have an edge over the hosts and are expected to come out on top at the end. Johannesburg being favourable to the batters, the fans can expect a high-scoring game.
