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

Durban's Super Giants are favoured, with a win chance of 71% against Pretoria Capitals' 29%.

Weather: wet, like 31 Dec 2025

31 December 2025 at SuperSport Park: 22 °C, humidity 65%, wind 10 km/h and 2.9 mm of rain during the hours of play. 80 of 430 evenings within three weeks of 19 January in the last 10 years had at least 1 mm of rain at SuperSport Park during these hours.

These conditions carry a medium rain risk, with 2.9 mm expected during play and the wettest spell from 21:00 to 22:00, overlapping the second innings. Across SA20 grounds, 37% of games in similar weather were shortened or washed out. Heat and wind have made no measurable difference to scoring here. Runs lines assume 20 overs, so a rain-rule finish is a real possibility.

During play: 22.0 °C on average, humidity 65%, wind 10 km/h gusting to 27. Humidity climbs from 50% to 89%; at SA20 grounds, chasing success hasn't varied with humidity.

Heaviest rain 21:00–22:00, mostly over the second innings. Runs figures assume 20 overs. If overs are lost, totals and par come down: check how your bookmaker settles runs markets in reduced matches.
