JSK vs MICT: Key player battles
Faf du Plessis vs Rashid Khan
This captain-vs-captain clash is a highlight. Faf du Plessis, known for his aggressive starts, has struggled against Rashid's leg-spin in T20s, scoring just 69 runs off 89 balls while getting dismissed 4 times. Expect Faf to attack early, but Rashid's variations could dominate the late powerplay and middle overs.
Nicholas Pooran vs Imran Tahir
Nicholas Pooran, a destructive left-hander, faces Imran Tahir's wily leg-spin. Pooran has shown he can take Tahir apart. With Pooran's power-hitting against Tahir's experience, this could be a game-changer in the middle overs. Pooran has 58 runs from 40 deliveries off Tahir while getting dismissed twice in T20 league matches.
James Vince vs Trent Boult
James Vince, an overseas opener with a smooth technique, takes on Boult's swing with the new ball. Boult's left-arm angle could exploit Vince's front-foot play early on, though evidence records Vince having the upper hand. From 45 deliveries, Vince bagged 93 runs against Boult without getting dismissed once.

JSK vs MICT winners prediction: Who will win SA20 match 20?
MI Cape Town has a better head-to-head record over Joburg Super Kings. They have won 4 out of 3 matches in SA20. However, given MICT's recent form in this league, they are at the bottom here. JSK is coming off after a couple of abandoned matches, but with form on their side, the Kings are the clear favourites to win the match at home.
