MICT vs DSG, SA20 2024: Newlands, Cape Town Pitch Report, T20 Records | MICT vs DSG Head to Head Record in SA20 2024

In the upcoming SA20 2024 season, Game 16 is set to unfold at Newlands in Cape Town, featuring a face-off between MI Cape Town (MICT) and Durban Super Giants (DSG) on Tuesday, January 23.

Durban Super Giants started the tournament with a bang, securing three consecutive victories. However, their momentum faltered in the last two games. On the other hand, Cape Town has struggled to string together back-to-back wins, suffering a 59-run defeat in their recent match against Paarl Royals.

The two teams previously clashed on January 11, with Durban emerging victorious by 11 runs (via DLS method). Heinrich Klaasen’s remarkable innings of 85 off 35 balls played a pivotal role in Durban’s memorable win. Eager to reverse their fortunes, Kieron Pollard and his team are determined to triumph in front of their home crowd.

Cape Town has faced Durban three times in the tournament and suffered defeats in all encounters. Despite this history, the upcoming match promises an unpredictable showdown, as past records may hold little significance in Tuesday’s clash.
