The only team to remain winless in the Mzansi Super League 2019, for Jozi Stars, the second edition of the showpiece South African T20 league has transpired adversely. The side have gone onto lose two straight matches to be slumped in bottom spot of the league stages, a position they know they need to wrench out of at the earliest.
Playing against Nelson Mandela Bay Giants in the foregone outing, the side were drubbed by 24 runs as they faltered in their pursuit of 168. The side folded out for just 143, putting in a haywire run chase to be smeared as they kept losing wickets at crucial junctures with false shots leaving the side beleaguered.
Elsewhere, Cape Town Blitz suffered a chastening and harrowing defeat in their previous fixture as well, one which not only undid the good work of their league opener but also massively plummeted the side’s net run-rate. They were decimated and dismantled as a callous run chase left them in an apathy with side being outplayed in all the departments of the game.
Heading out needing 171 to win, the side left everyone bewildered as they shambolically lost their way to fall apart for a mere 84 runs to be battered to an 86 run defeat. It leaves them in fourth position with the one win and one defeat apiece, a result the side will be looking to overhaul against the ideal opponents when they traverse out onto the pitch today.

There is something for everyone on this track with the batsmen being rewarded for showing patience, application and technique once settled into their groove while the bowlers will thrive if the ball is pitched in the right areas.
