Pretoria Capitals win toss and bowl against JSK

Pretoria Capitals captain, Keshav Maharaj, won the toss and chose to bowl first in the second game of the SA20 against the Joburg Super Kings at Centurion Park on Saturday afternoon.

The Jukskei derby sees the tournament’s most expensive signing, Dewald Brevis, returning to his home ground after three seasons in Cape Town, having been bought by the Capitals for R16.5 million at this year's player auction.

JSK have a couple of expensive buys of their own, with Wiaan Mulder (R9 million) the third-highest signing, while Nandre Burger (R6.5 million) was set to bolster the pace attack but picked up an injury training in the days before the match.

The tournament began on Friday night in Cape Town, where last year’s wooden spoonists, Durban Super Giants, beat the defending champions, Mumbai Indians Cape Town, by 15 runs in a high-scoring encounter featuring one short of 250 runs.
