The South African T20 tournament, SA 2024, is gaining momentum as the Durban Super Giants(DSG) gear up to take on MI Cape Town (MICT) in the second match at Kingsmead in Durban today (January 11).
The league kicked off on Wednesday, but the excitement was dampened as the opening match between Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Joburg Super Kings was washed out due to persistent rain, resulting in no play and no toss.
Cricket enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the second game of the tournament, where Keshav Maharaj-led Durban Super Giants will clash with Kieron Pollard’s MI Cape Town. The buzz surrounding this match is heightened by the recent leadership change in the MI Cape Town camp, with Pollard taking over the captaincy role following the ruling out of Rashid Khan.
SA20 2024, Match 02:

Kingsmead Pitch Report:
The surface at Kingsmead is well-known for favoring bowlers, particularly seamers who capitalize on the extra movement generated by the track’s moisture. On the flip side, spinners encounter difficulties in establishing their rhythm on this surface. Despite this, batters can amass considerable runs if they manage to settle in. The team winning the toss is likely to opt for batting first, with the intention of putting up a significant total.
