The Super Giants have the big-hitting and in-form Heinrich Klaasen in the ranks and if he gets going his team will be favourites to win, while Matthew Breetzke, Quinton de Kock, Kyle Mayers and Jon-Jon Smuts also possess power in the batting lineup.

Slow bowlers Keshav Maharaj and Prenelan Subrayen will be key as will Junior Dala, Dwaine Pretorius and English player Reece Topley.

For the visitors, Aiden Markram will want to put a big score together, while young Jordan Hermann, fresh off a century, will be a key wicket for the Super Giants. Dawid Malan, Tom Abell, Tristan Stubbs and Adam Rossington, if he gets a game, are also big-hitters.

Marco Jansen, with bat and ball, will also be hoping to finally make a contribution.
