When these two met on Tuesday, only 11 overs were possible in Durban before the heavens opened and rain brought an early conclusion to the game which ended as a no result. Therefore, there will be a feeling of 'unfinished business' in both changing rooms ahead of this clash on Saturday.
Although the Super Giants are bottom of the table, they are only two points from the top four places so there is still plenty of time for them to get into the play-off places and extend their season.
For MI Cape Town, prolonging the campaign already looks likely to happen, the only question is can they take over at the top of the table or end in the top two and get into the all important Qualifier 1?
Both sides have played good cricket at times in this competition but Durban's Super Giants must find their best again for this fixture if they are to get back to winning ways.

Although there were only 11 overs of action in Tuesday's head to head clash in Durban, MI Cape Town's opener Rassie van der Dussen managed to get 32 balls of the strike and was still unbeaten on 35 when the game was halted. He hit 3x fours and 1x six in his innings and will be looking forward to facing the same bowling attack.
Alongside van der Dussen at the top of the order will be keeper-batter Ryan Rickelton who looked in the mood to go big before he was dismissed but we can expect him to take the attack to the Super Giants' bowlers from the opening delivery.
All of MI Cape Town's bowlers had the chance to put their feet up in match 16 so we can expect Kagiso Rabada and Trent Boult to bowl with an extra zip in this clash. Captain Rashid Khan will once again give the ball a good rip and is likely to get plenty of turn.

It has been said many times already in the 2025 SA20 and will be said again if the Super Giants continue to miss out on victories but they have one of the strongest batting line up in the tournament!
Will the likes of Matthew Breetzke, Brandon King, Quinton de Kock and Kane Williamson, who between them make up the top four, be able to finally dominate a bowling attack and bat the team to victory?
Equally, Heinrich Klaasen, one of the most feared batters in T20 cricket must come good soon after a run of single-figure scores from each of his last three innings in the tournament.
Junior Dala impressed on Thursday by picking up the big wicket of Lhuan-dre Pretorius but was then expensive before dismissing Mitchell Van Buuren. Once again, he is expected to be the main pace threat in the team.

Humidity is likely to raise as the game progresses with the levels beginning at 55% before topping 85% by the conclusion of the match. There will be a few clouds around with the temperature in the mid-low twenties.
This is a good cricket wicket at Newlands in Cape Town where the bowlers will get some assistance but the batters will be able to trust the bounce, carry and pace of the pitch. Whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of 180+ to be competitive.
MI Cape Town picked up a victory by bowling first in their last game and we fully expect both teams to come to the ground with the plan to bowl first ahead of chasing down a target in this match.
Although there will surely come a time before the end of the group stage where Durban's Super Giants' batters finally get their form together, we are not expecting that to happen in this game. MI Cape Town have impressed throughout the tournament and we are predicting another victory for them in this fixture.
We are backing MI Cape Town to win!
