RIVALS GO INTO BATTLE

TAHIR: SUPER KINGS IN GREAT SPACE AHEAD OF PRETORIA CAPITALS VISIT

- Wesley Botton

After getting off to a cracking start in their SA20 campaign, veteran spin bowler Imran Tahir says the Joburg Super Kings are full of confidence ahead of their derby clash against Pretoria Capitals at the Wanderers today.

While former finalists the Capitals have won only one of their opening three fixtures (one was rained out), the Super Kings triumphed in their first two games and are looking at gaining further momentum against their Gauteng rivals.

However, ahead of last night's match between MI Cape Town and Paarl Royals, the Capitals were lying third on the log, just one place behind the Super Kings, and a lot more than bragging rights will be on the line today in the ongoing battle for top spot in the league standings.
