Pretoria Capitals host Durban Super Giants in the next match of the SA20 in 2023.
The start of play is scheduled for 5.30pm local time (3.30pm GMT) on Sunday, February 5.
The game will be staged at SuperSport Park in Centurion.
The weekend action comes to a close with little on the line at Centurion, with the fate of both sides who sit at opposite ends of the table, almost confirmed.
Only a remarkable turn of events would see Capitals miss out on progressing to the semi-finals as group winners, setting up a meeting with whichever side finishes fourth, for a place in the final.
Super Giants start the game in the bottom two and in their last game saw rain ruin attempts of progressing to the last four, with the match against Sunrisers Eastern Cape abandoned with just 5.2 overs bowled.
Their hopes of reaching the knockout phase hinge on the Sunrisers beating Joburg Super Kings in the early game, and then securing a handsome win over Capitals. With a large net run rate chasm to overcome, they'll need to be at their very best.

Phil Salt will be chomping at the bit to get his year back on track.
The wicketkeeper-batter had a watching brief during the South Africa ODIs, largely due to illness, and saw hopes of nailing down a place in the England team torched.
Salt has enjoyed a fruitful SA20 competition, however, scoring 168 runs at 42, with two fifties in six innings.
It is likely he'll be faced with countryman David Willey, who like Salt had a limited role during the ODI series.
Only available for the second half of the tournament, the Northamptonshire left-armer is just getting into his stride but his experience and powerplay skills will make him a testing prospect.
Saturday's rain should have cleared in time for play which should ensure a full game is possible.
For their second match in as many days, Capitals may wish to ring the changes ahead of the knockout phase. Wayne Parnell is a major doubt after he limped through the end of the run-chase against MI Cape Town. Migael Pretorius is waiting in the wings.
Super Giants have made good use of their squad during the competition, with 17 players used who have all played at least two matches.
Jason Holder and Kyle Mayers are missing having joined up with the West Indies Test squad, with replacements Ben McDermott and David Willey likely to continue.
Pretoria Capitals: Eathan Bosch, Theunis de Bruyn, Shane Dadswell, Cameron Delport, Daryn Dupavillon, Will Jacks, Josh Little, Marco Marais, Kusal Mendis, Senuran Muthusamy, Jimmy Neesham, Anrich Nortje, Wayne Parnell, Migael Pretorius, Adil Rashid, Rilee Rossouw, Phil Salt, Shaun von Berg, Colin Ingram (replaced Will Jacks from February 1)
Durban Super Giants: Kyle Abbott, Matthew Breetzke, Johnson Charles, Quinton de Kock, Akila Dhananjaya, Simon Harmer, Jason Holder, Christian Jonker, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Kyle Mayers, Wiaan Mulder, Keemo Paul, Dwaine Pretorius, Reece Topley, Prenelan Subrayen, Dilshan Madushanka, Junior Dala, David Willey (replaced Jason Holder from February 1), Ben McDermott (replaced Kyle Mayers from February 1)

Pretoria Capitals are favourites to win the match with Betfair offering odds of 4/6. Durban Super Giants are the underdogs at 11/10.
The form guide suggests Capitals should have too much. The ease at which they cruised to a 23-run victory in their previous meeting is an indication as to which direction this latest encounter should go.
