Faf du Plessis-led Joburg Super Kings secured an easy 9-wicket victory against Paarl Royals in the Eliminator match. Now, they are aiming to beat Durban Super Giants and qualify for the final. However, the Qualifier 2 match against DSG is not expected to be easy for JSK. Durban Super Giants have proven to be a tough side this season, winning 7 out of their 10 league games.
Nevertheless, Keshav Maharaj-led DSG suffered a defeat against Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the first Qualifier. Now, they have another chance to secure a spot in the final by defeating Joburg Super Kings, who have won just 4 games out of their 11 outings this season. JSK may consider themselves fortunate to be just one win away from reaching the final despite having an underperforming season.
