Match Details:

The 30th match of the 2019-20 Mzansi Super League will be played between Jozi Stars and Durban Heat at New Kingsmead, Durban.

The match starts at 09:00 PM IST (3:30 PM GMT / 5:30 PM LOCAL). This match can be viewed on Sony Liv and Fan Code in India.

Preview:

Jozi Stars’ poor run in MSL 2019 continues and have not won a single match in their last nine outings with two getting abandoned due to rain. They would like to end their campaign with a win against Durban Heat. In batting, they have Reeza Hendricks, Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen, who be responsible for piling up some big runs against the opponent.

On the other hand, it is a must-win game for Durban Heat as they want to qualify for the semi-finals. They are currently ranked 4th in the league table with 20 points. However, if they win against Jozi Stars then they will move into the latter segment of the tournament.

With the likes of Alex Hales, Wesley Marshall and David Miller, their batting looks strong and in bowling, they have
Malusi Siboto, who has done a commendable job with the ball. It will be the last league match of MSL 2019 and the fans can expect an enthralling encounter.

Weather Condition/Report:

There are chances of rain but in patches and it is expected that it might not affect the length of the crucial match. However, the temperature is expected to deviate between 19 and 22 Degree Celsius throughout the day according to Accuweather.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The track of New Kingsmead is expected to go in favour of the batsmen but the fast bowlers are also expected to get some help due to fast wind that usually blows in Durban and they will eventually get a swing. The team winning the toss is expected to field first because the teams usually like to chase at this venue.
