Match Preview
It’s a home game for Durban Heat. The side had pretty forgettable season last year as they lost 6 out of their 10 matches and won just 3 games. This year, they are hopeful to produce better results with the presence of opener Alex Hales and all-rounder Ravi Bopara.
Paarl Rocks were dealt with two huge blows as JP Duminy was ruled out of MSL due to hamstring injury. However, the first win of the season against Cape Town Blitz would have relieved the skipper Faf du Plessis. Also, a big winning margin awarded the Rocks with a bonus point.

Teams Preview
Durban Heat
The first game of Durban Heat in this season was washed out, and this can be their first real outing, as they play against last season’s semi-finalists Paarl Rocks at Durban on Friday. DH were hit when all-rounder Robbie Frylinck pulled out of the competition to compete in the Abu Dhabi T10 League. However, Dane Vilas’s side has a few impressive inclusions in the squad like Hales, Bopara and bowling all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo.
With the new set of players, Durban Heat is yet to know the right combination for the team as the first game against Tshwane Spartans was washed-out. Khaya Zondo was the top run-scorer for Heat in MSL 2018, with his 216 runs in 10 innings, while Sarel Erwee smashed 125 runs in just 5 innings he played last year. Kyle Abbott (10 wickets in 10 games) was the leading wicket-taker for DH.
Durban Heat Predicted Playing XI
Dane Vilas (c & wk), Ravi Bopara, David Miller, Alex Hales, Prenelan Subrayen, Kyle Abbott, Andile Phehlukwayo, Keshav Maharaj, Khaya Zondo, Sarel Erwee, Wihan Lubbe
Paarl Rocks
Paarl Rocks started the season with a bang as they stunned Cape Town Blitz by a huge margin of 86 runs. After electing to bat first, the thirties from Henry Davids, du Plessis, and Dwaine Pretorius helped the side to post a total of 170 runs.
A complete bowling performance by Paarl Rocks dominated the show as Blitz batsmen had no answers to Rocks bowling attack led by Shamsi (3 for 16), Viljoen (2 for 9), Fortuin (2 for 13). Bowlers were successful in getting wickets out of bouncy balls.
In MSL 2018, Faf du Plessis was the top run-scorer for Paarl Rocks, as he scored 356 runs in 10 innings, followed by Cameron Delport (197 runs in 5 innings). Tabraiz Shamsi was the leading wicket-taker for Paarl Rocks last year as he took 13 wickets in 10 games, followed by Bjorn Fortuin with his 11 wickets in 7 innings.

On Friday, Durban could experience moderate rain with the daytime temperature reaching 23 °c. The nighttime minimum temperature is expected to be 19 °c.
Venue Details
The venue for this match is Kingsmead, Durban. In 2003, it hosted the World Cup semi-final game between India and Kenya. The highest total at this venue in a T20I game is 218/4 by India against England. The average scores batting first and second are 148 and 134. While the highest total chased on this ground is 158.
Toss Prediction
Out of 13 matches in which we got results here, one match ended in a tie, while the teams batting first and second have won six-six matches each. It is recommended to bat first after winning the toss.
Winning Prediction
Paarl Rocks are the MSL 2018 semi-finalists, whereas Duran Heat ended up last in that inaugural season.
This year, Paarl started with a huge win over Cape Town Blitz at the home ground - Boland Park, which also awarded them a bonus point.
On the other hand, Durban Heats are yet to experience the play as their initial match against Tshwane Spartans was washed out. Heats lost to Rocks in both the games they played in the last season. There are chances of rain, but if it does not completely wash out the game, the result would go in favor of the visitors.
Our prediction is that Paarl Rocks will defeat Durban Heat!
