The Cape Town-based franchise lost their previous league game against Pretoria Capitals and are currently at the bottom of the table. They don’t have any chance to qualify for the next round of the competition and thus, will play their last league game without any pressure. Their main objective will be to finish the season on a high note.

When it comes to the Faf du Plessis-led side, they are currently placed second on the points table. The skipper was at his meticulous best in the previous match but missed his opportunity at a consecutive century in the SA20 2023 league by just eight runs. His opening partner Reeza Hendricks too played a sensible knock to support Faf. However, their middle order is currently out of form and that remains to be a concern.
