MI Cape Town vs Pretoria Capitals Team Preview & Squads

MI Cape Town

In the previous match, Kieron Pollard’s team defeated the Pretoria Capitals by a score of 34 runs. The team has maintained their prospects of advancing to the next round with this victory. In their final league game, Pollard would want to win big to build momentum heading into the playoffs against the same opponents.

Rassie van der Dussen and Ryan Rickelton should get the team off to a solid start because of their recent good results. With Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran in the middle order, Dewald Brevis, who put on a show in the previous game, will try to add fast runs. Both George Linde and Pollard are strong hitters who provide firepower to the batting lineup.

They anticipate a strong performance from George Linde and Sam Curran with the new ball because the bowling attack has struggled in this competition. Having bowled well, Kagiso Rabada will try to limit the scoring rate when he faces Nealan van Heerden and Nuwan Thushara. Thomas and Pollard give this attack more nuance.

Pretoria Capitals Giants

After losing the most recent match, Wayne Parnell’s team is eliminated from the running for the next round. The team’s season has been terrible because they haven’t presented much of a challenge in many games. Parnell wants to see his team battle valiantly and finish the season with a bang when they play their last game.

Will Jacks and Philip Salt must put on a great performance for the side to win this game because they haven’t been reliable. After his outstanding knock in the previous game, Kyle Verreyne will be full of confidence. However, he needs to perform well in the middle order with Colin Ingram and Rilee Rossouw. To give depth to the batting lineup, Theunis de Bruyn, Parnell, and Shane Dadswell need to perform well.

As they take on a potent batting order, the team will anticipate a great performance from Will Jacks and Eathan Bosch with the new ball. In the most recent game, Daryn Dupavillon and Parnell gave up runs, and they must improve. For the team to win, veteran spinner Adil Rashid needs to cause problems for the Cape Town hitters.
