Joburg Super Kings host Durban Super Giants in the next game of the SA20 in 2023.
The start of play is scheduled for 5.30pm local time (3.30pm GMT) on Tuesday, January 23.
The game will be staged at DP World Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.
Um, not Durban Super Giants. Quinton de Kock's side have lost their last two matches by mammoth margins - eight wickets and 124 runs - with a horrible lack of batting depth cruelly exposed.
Joburg Super Kings are still competing for a place in the playoffs, but they are battling their own inconsistencies, and plenty of batting failures too.
Faf du Plessis' team have won three and lost three, but squeaked home against Sunrisers Eastern Cape - having only been asked to chase 128 - on Saturday.

Durban Super Giants need to get themselves past a batting hump that has seen them dismissed for 86 and 80 in their last two innings. There is too much reliance on Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen at the top of the order. Get them cheaply, and the match is all but over.
Sunny and warm in Joburg, where temperatures could touch 27 degrees Celsius at the start of play.
Aaron Phangiso is waiting to hear the verdict of a CSA panel on his bowling action, which was reported last Tuesday. If found to be illegal, JSK's form bowler would be sidelined.
Durban Super Giants would no doubt love to make changes to improve their batting performances, but the options are incredibly limited. They tried to switch around the order on Sunday, with de Kock moving to No.5 in an effort to create more depth, but that backfired.
