Cricket commentary | Durban Super Giants vs Pretoria Capitals, 16th Match, SA20, 2025-26

Aiden Markram | Durban Super Giants Captain: Not entirely, no. I still think a team can chase 200 on that wicket with a small boundary and good surface as well, so I’m still backing us to chase that. Obviously, it’s always going to require something brilliant (to score 20+ in the last two overs), but I’m backing the batters to take care of that often enough. But you’ll be able to find areas in the field, I’m sure. You can find maybe 15, 20 runs on both sides, and it all looks quite different afterwards. It’s a matter of, well, I think you can base it solely on conditions. From a batting point of view, there’s enough experience and power to run games batting first and run games chasing, so not too much of a thought for us, at least for the moment. But yeah, we backed ourselves, but we needed to come right and do some damage on our way forward. The more we know, we should have been 5-10 per cent better and, of course, the team is in a better position at the end of the night, so I’m always upset with it. Obviously, we never like to lose, but each guy will take their lessons, we will collaborate and get it all together tomorrow and take it on in two days’ time again.
