Our Prediction: Pretoria Capitals to hit most sixes in this match with the odds of 11/20 (1.55).

Apart from Malan, Faf du Plessis, Donovan Ferreira, Romario Shepherd and Will Jacks are some of the top betting picks.

Joburg Super Kings vs Pretoria Capitals Preview
Joburg Super Kings will look to cash in their home advantage when they go up against the unbeaten Pretoria Capitals. Let’s have a look at two teams ahead of their match on Tuesday.
Joburg Super Kings
Joburg Super Kings began the SA20 on high with a 16-run victory over Durban’s Super Giants. But then they suffered two heavy defeats at the hands of Paarl Royals and MI Cape Town. Their batting unit needs to step up, having been restricted to 81 and 105/9 in the last two games.
Janneman Malan, Reeza Hendricks, Faf du Plessis and Donovan Ferreira hold the key while the batting line-up remains vulnerable to left arm spin. They have Alzarri Joseph, George Garton, Aaron Phangiso and Romario Shepherd in the bowling attack. If fit, Nandre Burger could come into the side.
Squad: Janneman Malan, Reeza Hendricks, Faf du Plessis (c), Kyle Verreynne (wk), Leus du Plooy, Donavon Ferreira, Romario Shepherd, George Garton, Alzarri Joseph, Gerald Coetzee, Aaron Phangiso
Pretoria Capitals
Pretoria Capitals have won two out of two games and would want to continue their unbeaten run. They have defeated Sunrisers Eastern Cape in both games, by 23 runs and 37 runs, respectively on the back of strong batting performances.
Phil Salt and Will Jacks have been outstanding at the top while others have made crucial contributions. But the batting line-up looks raw on paper. Anrich Nortje, Wayne Parnell and Adil Rashid will play a key part with the ball.
Squad: Philip Salt (wk), Will Jacks, Rilee Rossouw, Theunis de Bruyn, Shane Dadswell, James Neesham, Wayne Parnell (c), Migael Pretorius, Eathan Bosch, Adil Rashid, Anrich Nortje
