SA20 Cricket Match Prediction 2024 | Match 26 | Pretoria Capitals vs MI Cape Town – Can MICT break the losing streak? | Feb 01

Pretoria Capitals vs MI Cape Town Match Analysis

On Thursday night in Centurion, Pretoria Capitals will host MI Cape Town in Match 26 of the 2024 SA20. With the Capitals in fifth place with 10 points and MI Cape Town in sixth place with 9 points, these are the two worst teams in the standings. At SuperSport Park, the game starts at 15:30 local time.

The Pretoria Capitals have only managed one tight victory in their previous five games, and despite exerting maximum pressure on Dubran’s Super Giants on Tuesday, they lost a close contest. They will, nevertheless, be confident in their chances of defeating the team in sixth.

MI Cape Town enters this game at the bottom of the table and has already suffered six losses, including setbacks to the Paarl Royals, Durban’s Super Giants, Sunrisers Eastern Cape, and Johannesburg Super Kings. It will be difficult to defeat the Pretoria Capitals in this game.

Pretoria Capitals vs MI Cape Town Team Preview & Squads

Pretoria Capitals

The Pretoria Capitals made two changes ahead of their Tuesday matchup against the Super Giants of Durban: Colin Ackermann and Senuran Muthusamy replaced Shane Dadswell and Corbin Bosch. Expectedly, both new players will hold their positions.

The batting all-rounder Will Jacks, who reached 13 in this event, went on to make at least 40 runs. He was in excellent attacking form in the most recent encounter. Before this competition, 26-year-old Kyle Verreynne was playing well at home. In the SA20 2024, he struck 72 runs without giving up any runs in his opening innings.

The all-around player Senuran Muthusamy took out Heinrich Klaasen, Keemo Paul, and Matthew Breetzke in a brilliant bowling effort against the Super Giants. With two wickets in the 19th over and a wicket in the 15th, right-arm quick bowler Daryn Dupavillon caused havoc near the conclusion of the innings in the previous game.

Pretoria Capitals Squads

Pretoria Capitals

Wayne Parnell (c), Phil Salt (wk), Senuran Muthusamy, Eathan Bosch, Will Jacks, Kyle Verreynne, Colin Ackermann, Rilee Rossouw, Adil Rashid, Daryn Dupavillon, and Colin Ingram.

MI Cape Town

MI Cape Town has not released any injury reports following its rain-shortened Monday match against the Johannesburg Super Kings. Though we don’t anticipate any changes to the assault for this game, their bowlers were unable to stop the runs over the course of the match’s 5.4 overs.

The 27-year-old keeper-batter Ryan Rickleton blasted two sixes and a four in his 16-ball 23 against the Super Kings. Throughout this tournament, the left-hander has made an impression with his strikeout rates. In the previous game, Captain Kieron Pollard scored 33 runs off of just 10 balls, and he has now reached the thirties in each of his past two innings.

The left-arm wrist spinner Thomas Kaber, who loves to be in the game early, will be pleased with the attacking approach of the Pretoria Capitals’ first hitters. When he takes the field at the Wanderers Stadium, right-arm fast bowler Kagiso Rabada will be hoping to record his ninth four-wicket performance in Twenty20 cricket.
