The second edition of the SA20 with the touch of an Indian flavour has been kicked off; Durban Super Giants (DSG) and MI Cape Town (MICT) are set to take on each other in the second match of the ongoing SA20 2024. Both teams will play this match on Thursday, January 11, 2024.
Both teams had a dismal run in the tournament's inaugural edition last year; Durban Super Giants finished at the second last spot with only 4 wins in 10 matches, and they played in the tournament. On the other hand, MI Cape Town finished in the last spot of the points table as they could win only 3 matches out of the 10 games they played.
Now, both teams will be eyeing starting their SA20 2024 campaign after forgetting their outings in the tournament's previous edition.

DSG vs MICT, Pitch Report and Playing Conditions
In the last five T20 games, played at this venue, the team batting first has won on four occasions. The surface at the Kingsmead in Durban has good support for the batters in the first half of the match considering the average first innings score over 163 runs. So, the captain winning the toss might opt to bat first to put a challenging total for the opponent to chase in the second innings.
