For Tshwane Spartans, shunning free of the ordeal of rain looks improbable. The side saw their opening encounter of the Mzansi Super League 2019 being abandoned due to incessant widespread rainfall and with similar conditions awaiting them ahead of today’s forthcoming clash, the side will be ardently wishing that the skies stay clear.
It’s not only the team which will fortuitously be praying for a full fledged match when they take on Nelson Mandela Giants today but the rampant viewers of the league as well given the stalwarts lining up the Tshwane Spartans outfit. This is a side filled to the brim with stellar names from the global stage, players who promise to revel us in an enthralling and riveting brand of cricket.
Elsewhere, the match comes bearing major ramifications for Nelson Mandela Bay Giants as well with the side looking to register their second win on the bounce and with move to the pinnacles of the league standings. The side come into today’s encounter having tasted consummate success against bottom of the pile Jozi Stars who they managed to ease past by 24 runs to sit in second place ahead of the forthcoming encounter.
Making 167 while batting first on that day, Nelson Mandela Bay Giants kept snaring wickets at crucial junctures to leave their opponent flabbergasted. It was a clinical performance by the side, one which saw them stall their opposition at 143, a performance the side will be looking to resonate come today as well against a massively more stringent side.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
The likelihood of rain looming and eventually lashing the surface is a very realistic one with us in for either a delayed or curtailed encounter leading the side winning the toss opting to come out and field first. Overall though, despite the high chances of rain, the surface will continue to be a sublime batting track with the small square boundaries and hard track set to immerse us in a high scoring encounter.

TST vs NMG Dream11 Batsmen
A sublime batting track and the names at our disposal for this encounter meant we were always going to heavily pack up our batting order for the prevelant clash. We had to begin with the stellar AB de Villiers with the staunch player gracing our side with his presence given the stature he’s held in the cricketing fraternity especially in the shortest format of the game to see him tally up the 8,186 runs in 277 encounters.
He finds company in the form of South Africa’s test cricket opener Dean Elgar with the player not only enjoying a successful visit of India but also coming up with 1,633 runs in 61 T20s. Theunis de Bruyn will complete the trio of selections from the outfit whilst from Nelson Mandela Bay Giants we are opting for Ben Dunk for this one given the role he’s slated to play with the gloves for his side.
TST vs NMG Dream11 All-Rounders
With 20 runs in 11 balls in the side’s league opener and the 1-20 with the ball, Chris Morris becomes an instant pick for us from Nelson Mandela Bay Giants with the player holding an elevated role in both the dockets of his game. He will be accompanied by Farhaan Behardien after the all-rounder top scored for his outfit the last time around to take his tally to 3,186 runs in the T20 format.
From the opposition meanwhile we are roping in Roelof van der Merwe, a player who was judicious for Netherlands in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2019, playing an integral role in both the slots of the game to become the pinch perfect all-rounder to get in.
TST vs NMG Dream11 Bowling Order
Tshwane Spartans’ leading quick, frontline spearhead Lutho Sipamla has registered the 32 wickets in 28 contests to become the first name to be brought in from the side for this one alongside Lungi Ngidi. From the opponent meanwhile we are choosing legspinner Imran Tahir with the player set to perturb the opposition with him ball that turns away from them and the one that stays straight, deliveries which will see him entice batsmen to go after him and see him pick up wickets.

AB de Villiers has been selected as our side’s captain for the day while from the other side we have Behardien come in as the vice-captain.
