The rain has been a huge issue for the Tshwane Spartans and Durban Heat in this edition of the Mzansi Super League (MSL). Two games were washed out right at the start of the tournament for both these sides. While they might have got a few points, that isn’t really the question here. These teams haven’t been tested enough yet and they might not have found their best combination as well.

In the third game that they played, both these sides finally had some action. While the Spartans ended up on the positive side of the result, it was otherwise for the Durban Heat. At this stage, both these sides will surely fancy a few more points. But what is more important than that is time in the middle for the players. But, will there be any action possible?

Pitch and Conditions

Rain is on the cards once again as these two teams gear up for the upcoming fixture. At the scheduled start of play, a thunderstorm is predicted. But the chances of precipitation reduce considerably as the evening progresses. The fans will surely have their fingers-crossed and will hope to watch at least some part of the action. Batsmen might be tested here but mostly due to the external conditions.

Team Combination

Tshwane Spartans

The Tshwane Spartans aren’t likely to make any amends to the team from the last game. Their openers seem to be in great form which is a huge positive. AB de Villiers will look to contribute more with the bat this time around. Tom Curran and Morne Morkel will have a huge role with the ball. Expect Heinrich Klaasen to take up the finisher’s role once again.

Predicted XI: Theunis de Bruyn, Dean Elgar, AB de Villiers, Heinrich Klaasen (C & WK), Donavon Ferreira, Petrus van Biljon, Roelof van der Merwe, Tom Curran, Morne Morkel, Lungi Ngidi, Lutho Sipamla.

Durban Heat

Alex Hales and Sarel Erwee will continue to open the innings for the Heat. With the kind of show he’s put on in the last match, expectations on Wihaan Lubbe will increase drastically. The experienced campaigners – Dane Vilas, David Miler and Ravi Bopara should look to take more responsibility in the middle order. There is a certain amount of inexperience in the bowling department. The likes of Andile Phehlukwayo, Keshav Maharaj and Kyle Abbott will be the key here.

Predicted XI: Alex Hales, Sarel Erwee, Wihan Lubbe, Dane Vilas (C & WK), David Miller, Ravi Bopara, Andile Phehlukwayo, Malusi Siboto, Prenelan Subrayen, Keshav Maharaj, Kyle Abbott.
