Pre-Match Analysis:
Pretoria Capitals who endured a lean patch, winning only a solitary game from their first 7 outings, made as many as 5 changes to their line-up against Joburg Super Kings with Kyle Verreynne taking over the captaincy, and guess what, they secured an emphatic 6-wickets win to bag the bonus point in addition. Will Smeed, Ashton Turner, Tom Stewart Rogers, Migael Pretorius and Gideon Peters replaced Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rilee Rossouw, James Neesham, Kyle Simmonds, and Jason Behrendorff.
The new-pace attack featuring Tom Stewart Rogers (1 wicket), Gideon Peters (2 wickets), and Migael Pretorius (3 wickets) wreak havoc to keep Super Kings for a meager 99 for 9 in 20 overs. With a bonus point up for grabs, they chased the target with 8 overs to spare and 6 wickets in hand. They are very much alive in the competition and must win their remaining two matches, also need to have a close look at Super Kings’ results. With 2 wins, 4 losses, and 2 no results, they are positioned 5th in the standings with 14 points.
After encountering dreadful outcomes in the first two seasons, MI Cape Town qualified for the Playoffs for the first time in the SA20 with still their two league matches left. They bossed the show in all aspects to achieve the desired results. Rashid Khan and his team will play against Paarl Royals in the 1st Qualifier irrespective of the results against Pretoria Capitals. In their latest outing, they thumped Sunrisers Eastern Cape by 10 wickets to collect their 4th bonus point, the most by a team this season. Corbin Bosch steal the show with the ball, picking up 4 wickets to bowl Sunrisers out for just 107, while openers Rassie van der Dussen (48*) and Ryan Rickelton (59*) completed the one-sided run-chase with 9 overs to spare. MI Cape Town will jump to the top position in the standings if they beat the Pretoria Capitals in this match.
