South Africa Premier League 2025

Match 24: PC vs JSK

Preview

Pretoria Capitals will cross swords with Joburg Super Kings for the 24th SA Premier League 2025 match. SuperSport Park in Centurion will host the game on Tuesday, January 28. 

With Paarl Royals being the first and only qualifier for this edition of the playoffs, there are now three more slots up for grabs. 

Pretoria Capitals are in fifth place on the points table, with only one win in seven matches. They need desperate wins in the remaining three games to keep their Playoff hopes alive. Losing this game will make it impossible for them to bounce back. 

Joburg Super Kings are on a spot better than Pretoria, with three wins in seven games. After a three-match losing streak, Joburg made a comeback with a remarkable win over the Eastern Cape in their previous match by nine wickets. JSK will be high on confidence while they enter this match, with the possibility of getting another victory in this match and getting to the playoffs.

Pitch & Weather Report

The 24th SA Premier League 2025 match will be held at Centurion's SuperSport Park. As in the past, the ground is suitable for batting in the early overs. The surface provides a decent amount of pace and bounce, which motivates the batters to play their signature cricketing shots. It also has large boundaries, which are beneficial for the bowlers.  

The match will be played under clear skies; rain cannot spoil the game. The highest and lowest temperatures here will be 30 and 16 degrees Celsius, with 30% humidity and an 11 kmph wind rate.

Match Prediction

PC has won only once this year, and its batting has struggled in most matches. The team will have low confidence, and its batters must perform strongly to win. JSK was happy with its batting side in its last game, and the bowlers were also in sublime form. Thus, we expect Joburg to win this game based on their current form.
