The Joburg Super Kings will go up against the Durban Super Giants in the 9th Match of SA20 2025-26 on Thursday at Wanderers Stadium. This will be the first match of the new year in SA20, and the fans are guaranteed a thrilling contest between two strong sides.

The Joburg Super Kings have made an excellent start to the season. They are placed second on the points table after winning both of their matches so far. In their last encounter, they were dominantly better than the Super Giants and won the match comfortably while getting a bonus point as well. Led by Faf du Plessis, JSK will aim to continue their winning momentum and stay near the top of the table.

Durban Super Giants, on the other hand, are placed just below JSK. They have one win, one loss, and one match washed out so far. After a heavy defeat in their previous outing against the Super Kings, the Aiden Markram-led side will be eager to bounce back and get back to winning ways as the race for playoffs heats up.

JSK vs DSG: Pitch Report

The Wanderers Stadium is known for its high-scoring matches. The pitch usually offers good bounce and carry, which helps batters play their shots freely. Fast bowlers also get assistance due to the extra bounce. Teams batting first may look to score big, as totals above 220 can be challenging to chase here.
