Probable Playing XI
Nelson Mandela Bay Giants:
No changes are expected from the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants after yet another win at St George’s Park against Durban Heat. They have settled unit in their ranks with Jason Roy and JJ Smuts being key with the bat. However, their bowling unit has been their shining light with the trio of Junior Dala, Chris Morris and Imran Tahir revelling in the tournament.

Paarl Rocks
Paarl Rocks should also field the same eleven after a morale boosting win over Cape Town Blitz. Nevertheless, they will be hoping for better performances from the duo of Faf du Plessis and Cameron Delport in the batting unit. Like their opponents, Paarl Rocks also possesses a lengthy batting unit with Isuru Udana slated to bat at number nine. While their bowling unit does look light on options, the spin twins, Tabriaz Shamsi and Bjorn Fortuin, are critical to their fortunes in this game.
