Selecting a combined Pretoria Capitals and Johannesburg Super Kings playing 11 for SA20 2024 ft. Will Jacks and Imran Tahir
In the 13th match of the SA20 2024, the Pretoria Capitals (PC) will travel to Johannesburg to play the Joburg Super Kings (JSK), who are now at the bottom of the rankings.
The Capitals have one victory in three games and are sixth in the standings, while the Super Kings have yet to win a game in the league.
They only have a few of points because their opening game of the tournament was rained out.
PC won the last game and will want to sustain that momentum. JSK, on the other hand, recognizes that, despite their lack of victories, they have some good players on their roster.
On that topic, let us have a look at the combined XI of the two SA20 teams.
Will Jacks, Phil Salt (wk) & Faf du Plessis (top order)
Will Jacks and Phil Salt have developed a really explosive combination at the top of the order for PC, and they may easily do the same for England in the future.
Jacks recently scored a magnificent century against the Durban Super Giants, which helped his team win by 17 runs.
Salt just scored back-to-back T20I hundreds for England, showcasing his capacity to completely change the game.
Faf du Plessis at No. 3 adds steadiness to the batting lineup while also providing the knowledge of an anchor if needed.
Rilee Rossouw, Moeen Ali, Romario Shepherd, Donovan Ferreira (Middle-order)
Rilee Rossouw has 122 runs in three SA20 games, with an excellent strike rate of 164.86. This, together with Moeen Ali and Romario Shepherd, provides a formidable middle order.
Donovan Ferreira shown glimpses of his true potential last season and can continue to contribute as a finisher for the XI.
Shepherd can also knock monster sixes, as seen by his recent performance in the Twenty20 International series against England.
Wayne Parnell (c), Lizaad Williams, Nandre Burger, Imran Tahir (bowler)
Wayne Parnell led the Capitals to the SA20 final last season, giving him an ideal candidate to lead the team.
He adds knowledge to the squad and has shown that he can inflict some damage with his left-arm quickness, especially if he receives appropriate support early on.
Lizaad Williams has been the best bowler for JSK in SA20 2024 so far, with six wickets in three games.
He is also ranked third in the season’s wicket-taking stats. Nandre Burger provides a youthful flare, and his raw pace might be useful if he regularly lands it in the proper locations.
