Predicted Pretoria Capitals’ playing XI for their game against Johannesburg Super Kings in the SA20 2025:
Top Order
Pretoria Capitals’ batting is carried by their top order so far. The opening duo of Will Jacks and Rahmanullah Gurbaz have scored heavily for them in the ongoing tournament. While Gurbaz averages 48.00 at an exceptional batting SR of 184.61, Jacks averages 45.50 at a batting SR of 156.89. Verreynne can contribute with the bat and has been brilliant with the gloves. Their top order is solid without a doubt.
Middle Order
The middle order of the Capitals hasn’t fired yet. Rilee Rossouw averages just 6.50 at a batting SR of just 86.66. Liam Livingstone has been good as a bowler. However, he hasn’t fired as a batter yet. Marques Ackerman did a good job in the game against Sunrisers Eastern Cape and took the Capitals home. However, the Capitals would want their skipper and star player to step up.
Lower Middle Order
The lower mid order of the Capitals isn’t tested enough. James Neesham got a chance to bat in only one innings with a few deliveries left in the game. However, he has been very good as a supportive bowler. Migael Pretorius was good in the match against the Sunrisers. Both can turn the game with the bat and with the ball. Having multidimensional cricketers lower down the order is a positive for any side.
Bowlers
The bowling attack of the Capitals has been good so far. Senuran Muthusamy has been the standout bowler for the Capitals as he has claimed 5 wickets in 2 innings at a brilliant bowling average of 10.00, at a sensational bowling SR of 9.6. Dupavillon has taken wickets despite going for some runs. Eathan Bosch has to get better either at wicket taking or in stopping runs.
