The SA20 2026 will deliver an immediate blockbuster rematch on Sunday as Durban’s Super Giants host MI Cape Town at Kingsmead. Thee two sides kicked off the tournament just days ago in Cape Town, producing a high-scoring thriller that set an electrifying standard for the 2025-26 season.

In that curtain-raiser, the Super Giants were imperious with the bat. A masterclass in foundation-laying from Devon Conway and Kane Williamson allowed the middle order, led by Aiden Markram and Evan Jones, to explode late and post a mammoth 232/5.

MI Cape Town’s response was equally ferocious. Ryan Rickelton played a blinding knock, smashing a breathtaking century that threatened to steal the game away, supported by a spirited cameo from Jason Smith. However, the pressure of the massive chase eventually took its toll. Despite being in the hunt until the dying moments, critical wickets saw MI Cape Town fall just 15 runs short.

Now, the scene shifts to Durban. With the wounds of that narrow defeat still fresh, MI Cape Town will be desperate to flip the script on enemy territory, while the Super Giants look to prove their opening win was no fluke.

Kingsmead Pitch Report

Kingsmead has a reputation for being a bit of a grind for batters; don’t expect a flat highway where one can just hit through the line effortlessly. The golden window for scoring is definitely against the new ball while it’s still hard. Once that shine wears off, the pitch tends to slow down, offering plenty of grip for the spinners to dictate terms in the middle overs.

Given these conditions, scoreboard pressure is king here. The average first-innings score sits at a gritty 143, suggesting that the captain winning the toss will almost certainly look to bat first, put runs on the board, and let their slow bowlers squeeze the opposition in the chase.
