The fourth SA20 match of this season between MI Cape Town and the Johannesburg Super Kings will take place at the Wanderers. Joburg will head into this encounter after sharing a washout with the Sunrisers Eastern Cape, while Cape Town lost their opening match of the competition against Durban’s Super Giants.
In the last SA20, the Johannesburg Super Kings made it to the semifinals. Sadly, they were beaten by Sunrisers Eastern Cape and were not able to go to the Finals. The strong opener is anticipated to be in the challenging top three along with Reeza Hendricks of South Africa and Moeen Ali, the World Cup champion of England.
Rassie van der Dussen is a consistent player across all formats, with a career-best T20 cricket score of 112 not out. Our choice for MI Cape Town’s top run scorer on Saturday is the right-hander. To bowl successfully in the middle overs with Olly Stone, Sam Curran would like to put his experience to work.
