The fifth match of SA20 2025 will be played between Pretoria Capitals and Durban’s Super Giants in SuperSport Park, Centurion. Both teams played against each other in their season’s opening fixture, where the Super Giants won a thriller.
It was an absolute run-fest in Durban as both teams thrived on a nice batting deck and hardly gave anything to the bowlers. At one stage, Pretoria Capitals looked set to win the contest easily, but they let the opponent come in out of nowhere.
Eventually, Durban’s Super Giants scrapped a win by two runs from an improbable situation to open their account. It will be a reverse fixture played at Pretoria’s home ground.
