The owners of the Lucknow Super Giants in IPL also own the Durban-based Durban Super Giants in the SA20 league. The Kingsmead will be the home ground of this franchise. Here, we look at the pitch report of Kingsmead and the weather conditions in Durban for SA20 2023.
DSG actually has a solid core and is a team that will look to progress well in the tournament. The squad comprises a solid domestic core that includes skipper Quinton de Kock, Dwaine Pretorius, Keshav Maharaj, Heinrich Klaasen and Junior Dala. West Indian all-rounders Jason Holder, Kyle Mayers and Keemo Paul will also play for this squad. Sri Lankan cricketers Akila Dananjaya and Dilshan Madushanka will also play a huge role, and will also have the services of Reece Topley. The team has a good bowling attack but there could be a few issues in the middle order with the bat. However, if the bowling all-rounders can give some assurance with the bat, this squad can go a long way.

The temperature will vary between 29 and 21 degrees Celsius throughout the day in January in Durban. This temperature range will be comfortable for the game to happen.
Rainfall, though, might cause an issue. As per the prediction, at least, 10 days of rainfall is predicted within the next month. Fans will seriously hope that this would not disturb the game.
