ABOUT THE MATCH
The Nelson Mandela Bay Giants had to sit through a washout against the Cape Town Blitz in the last match while Paarl Rocks managed to win a rain-affected contest against Durban Heat. Rain has been a central figure in the Mzansi Super League so far and everyone involved in getting this tournament off the ground will be hoping that the rain can relent a little in the upcoming weeks.
The match between the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants and Paarl Rocks is set to be a good contest. The Giants are sitting at second place on the table with three wins from five matches while Paarl Rocks have moved into third place with two wins from four matches.
Both the sides are in good form and should be keen to play a full, rain-free, cricket match once again

MATCH PREVIEW
NELSON MANDELA BAY GIANTS
The Nelson Mandela Bay Giants would not have been too displeased with the points they received for a rained out game, Cape Town Blitz has been one of the strongest sides in the MSL so far and getting points against it may have proved to be difficult.
The Giants are not a weak side themselves, though. They are being captained by Smuts and he has led the batting by example. He is the highest scorer of the side right now and opens the batting for the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants.
The top-3 for the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants have been in very good form and are largely responsible for the early success of the side. Marais, Smuts, and Duckett will once again be the biggest threat to the Paarl Rocks bowling attack.
It is not uncommon for T20 sides to have a longish tail but with players like Chris Morris, Christiaan Jonker, Second, and others, the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants has a deep batting lineup to depend upon.
The power-hitting is also not a concern thanks to Chris Morris but he is still to play a vital role with the bat.
The bowling for the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants is led by three international bowlers. Imran Tahir, Junior Dala, and Chris Morris. Imran Tahir is exceptional in this format of the game and has proved his excellence around the world. He has started the Mzansi Super League in good form too.
Chris Morris and Junior Dala have also been among the wickets. Both the bowlers generate some real pace and have benefitted from the seam movement available in humid conditions.
