The last match, at Kingsmead, with Durban batting first, saw the Super Giants skittled out for just 80, with spinners and pacers who used cutters, ruling the roost.

Toss Guide

With the Kingsmead pitch having become slow and tricky due to the heavy workload, it is advisable to bowl first after winning the toss so that the batters know exactly how hard to go and how much risk to take depending upon the target during the run chase.
