Durban's Super Giants favoured by about 17 runs at Centurion

Durban's Super Giants are the call, and the case is built on a paper edge of about 17 runs. They are stronger on both sides of the ball: about 9 runs better with the bat and about 8 runs better with the ball. Their team strength of 28.2 runs above average sits well clear of Pretoria Capitals' 11.3. The win chances lean the same way, at 71% to 29%.

The runs picture points to a high-scoring game. Durban's Super Giants project 192 batting first, Pretoria Capitals 172, against a par score of 185. Games here have averaged 185 in 21 innings since 2023, and the median since then is 205. Chasing has been the sharper angle: teams batting first have won 13 of the last 21 here, but across all games here chasers hold the overall edge.
