With just one loss in five games, Nelson Mandela Bay Giants have stamped their presence in the Mzansi Super League and a face-off against mid-table Paarl Rocks gives them a chance to challenge the Cape Town Blitz at the top of the points table. The Bay Giants had to contend with just one point from their rain-abandoned game against Cape Town Blitz and will hope the rain stays away at Port Elizabeth as they take on the Rocks.
Paarl Rocks have nine points after four games but their net run rate is still in the negative. Two wins and two losses show that they haven't lived up to their reputation and the game against Bay Giants offers them a chance to make a statement about their presence. If they lose, the Rocks risk going back to a tussle with others in the bottom of the points table.
Conditions: Light showers expected amidst overcast condition. A sluggish wicket could slow down rate of scoring
Player Recommendations:
Wicket-keeper: Mangaliso Mosehle (8.5 points)
The dynamic wicket-keeper batsman is a good one to take around in your fantasy team. With flamboyance and flair, Mosehle isn't your regular T20 player but with his incredible striking prowess, one can be assured that if he clicks, Mosehle will skyrocket your points in the fantasy league.
Batsman: Aiden Markram (9 points)
The latest South African sensation is yet to stamp his presence in the Mzansi Super League and against a strong bowling line-up like that of Nelson Mandela

Batsman: Aiden Markram (9 points)
The latest South African sensation is yet to stamp his presence in the Mzansi Super League and against a strong bowling line-up like that of Nelson Mandela Bay Giants, Markram would be determined to make his presence felt. He has got some great starts this season and will look to convert them into something substantial.
All-rounder: Chris Morris (9.5 points)
With his death overs' bowling and floating role in the batting line-up, Morris is a value buy you cannot ignore. He picks up wickets, makes quick runs and is everything you want from your average fantasy player. Morris' ability to strike upfront and later in the innings makes him a great addition when bowling.
Bowler: Imran Tahir (9.5 points)
Tahir is a relentless wicket-taker and in this format of the game, he is gold. You cannot ignore Imran Tahir in your fantasy team if he is among the players in either sides. The leg-spinner has had a great Mzansi Super League so far and on a sluggish, two-paced wicket like at Port Elizabeth, Tahir will give you points aplenty. Back him through thick and thin for this game.
Captain: Imran Tahir
Vice-captain: Aiden Markram
