SIX PLAYERS TO THRILL THE SOLD OUT CENTURION CROWD

14 Jan 20243 mins

Betway SA20 arrives at Centurion today for the first reverse fixture of Season 2 between Pretoria Capitals and Paarl Royals.

We profile six stars who are set to thrill the sold out venue.

Corbin Bosch - Pretoria Capitals

When Corbin Bosch traded Boland Park for Centurion this is the fixture he would have keenly looked out for - as would his brother Eathan Bosch. The pair already talked on Friday about how special finally playing together was but this one has extra feeling, at a venue their late father, Tertius, made his name at. There my be an extra few yard of pace when Corbin bowls today and an an extra bit of oomph should he bat.

Lungi Ngidi - Paarl Royals

John Turner may or may not get a SA20 debut at Centurion but either way Proteas seamer Lungi Ngidi will be key. The 27-year-old has played all his domestic cricket at the ground, so will know exactly how to go about things - during his own bowling stint or to guide Turner. There's also the added motivation of playing against his IPL employers...

Jimmy Neesham - Pretoria Capitals

Jimmy Neesham has always been an allrounder par excellence and has been no different in Pretoria Capitals' colours across the country. The New Zealander showed his usual calmness on Friday, despite having the extra responsibility of captaincy, but also showed his steeliness in revealing that the Capitals will be fully expecting a different result today at a packed Centurion. His performances with bat and ball will be vital, but so to his fantastic catching which caught the eye in Season 1 when he snaffled a joint-most 10 of them.

Jos Buttler will look to kick-start Paarl Royals' innings on Sunday afternoon.

Jos Buttler - Paarl Royals

If there's a ground where opening batters love to bat, then it's Centurion with its fast outfield and high altitude helping aerial shots fly far and long. Jos Buttler will be looking to take full advantage of those benefits and get Paarl Royals off to a flying start to put Capitals under-pressure. The English white-ball captain did so throughout Season 1 in topping the run-scorer chart (391) so will be confident he can do so on Sunday.

Will Jacks - Pretoria Capitals

Will Jacks didn't come off as expected with the bat on Friday evening in Paarl but kept it tight with his tidy off-spin and arguably outperformed Capitals' senior spinner, fellow England international Adil Rashid. Jacks the batter will be only too happy to be back at Centurion, where he delivered some explosive performances in Season 1. Could a memorable afternoon be in the offing again for him and potential Betway Catch 2 Million punters too?

David Miller - Paarl Royals

Paarl Royals' captain David Miller would have been well-pleased with his team's performance at Boland Park on Friday and will be hoping for much the same today across his team - including himself. The big-hitting left-hander contributed a handy 41 to the batting cause to show his game is in tune and will be licking his lips at the prospect of doing even better at Centurion.
