The Durban Super Giants have also never won the SA20 championship. Their best season so far was in 2024, as they finished as the runner-ups after losing the final that year. In the inaugural 2023 season, they finished outside the playoff spots in fifth, and then in 2025, they finished at the bottom of the table.

DSG Vs SEC Match Kingsmead Pitch Report
The pitches at Kingsmead have usually been tricky for batting, as pacers with a new ball are known to wreak havoc on batting attacks. And while that might still be the case on most days, recently, the surfaces on this historic ground have been more batting-friendly, a trend we have seen across the world, especially in T20 cricket. The tracks here can either be a pacer’s haven or a batter’s paradise, depending on the pitch used. In any given situation. This will also dictate what a captain’s decision should be after winning the toss.
