On Monday night at Newlands, the 23rd match of the 2024 SA20 will pit MI Cape Town against the Joburg Super Kings. MI Cape Town has nine points from seven games, good for fifth position in the standings. At the foot of the standings, a point separates them and the Super Kings. In Cape Town, the match begins at 15:30 local time.
In the 20th match, MI Cape Town came within five runs of winning for the third time this season as they were chasing 176 runs against Sunrisers Eastern Cape on Saturday. Overall, it was a strong performance, and if they can duplicate it in this match, Cape Town ought to prevail.
In their most recent encounter, the Joburg Super Kings batted for a mere 4.4 overs before the rain hit in Centurion, ending the game with no outcome. In that little inning, there was good batting intent, and the Super Kings will try to use the same strategy in Cape Town.
MI Cape Town vs Joburg Super Kings Team Preview & Squads
MI Cape Town
In their most recent game against Sunrisers Eastern Cape, who are competing at the top of the group stage, MI Cape Town had a lot of positives despite being on a three-game losing run. For this game, no alterations are anticipated.
With the T20 World Cup quickly approaching, English all-round batsman Liam Livingstone is in for a significant six months in his career. Although he is talented, he needs to win this game by a wide margin. Ryan Rickleton is still the tournament’s top run scorer with 382, even though he hasn’t scored as many runs as he used to in recent innings.
The right-arm fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has been costly at times during the competition, but in the previous game, he performed at his peak. The right-arm medium-fast bowler Nuwan Thushara, who has three matches under his belt in the SA20 2024, is targeting his third two-wicket haul.

Joburg Super Kings
After failing to receive a bowl or a bat in the match on Saturday, the seasoned David Wiese returned to the Super Kings starting lineup for this encounter. Before this match, no new injuries have been recorded.
When these teams last played, Reeza Hendricks, the right-handed opener, failed to score but struck 79 runs without giving up in Johannesburg’s most recent game. Although Faf du Plessis’s season has been incredibly disappointing, there were hints of improvement before the rain came in the last game when he was on 25 not out from 12 balls.
When the teams last played, Lizaad Williams, a 30-year-old right-arm medium-fast bowler, got rid of Dewald Brevis. Williams is yet to lose a wicket in the competition. Nandre Burger, a left-arm pacer, hasn’t been as effective this season as many had hoped, but the conditions at Newlands could help him.

MI Cape Town vs Joburg Super Kings outfield report
Newlands, Cape Town
We anticipate that both teams will want to field first before this match, even though Durban’s Super Giants won the previous game at Newlands after batting first.
On the day of the match, Cape Town will experience wind and a high of 21 degrees Celsius.
Newlands has a good pace, much like all the pitches used in the SA20. A par score is probably not going to be greater than 175 because there is also some help available for the rapid bowlers.
