Pre-Match Analysis:
MI Cape Town are in all sorts of trouble enduring a hat-trick of losses before heading into this match. Their Playoffs contention still hangs in balance as they sit 5th in the standings with 9 points. They came so close to winning in their last outing against Sunrisers Eastern Cape but eventually lost the match by 4 runs despite valiant efforts from Kieron Pollard and Dewald Brevis. The most talked opening pair Rassie van der Dussen and Ryan Rickelton hasn’t made enough contributions in the last 3 matches which puts them in the back seat. With 3 matches in hand, they must win all of them to finish in the top 4.
Joburg Super Kings had a horrendous run in the tournament, managing only a win so far in the tournament. They shared points with Pretoria Capitals on Saturday after the rain interruption which constituted only 4.4 overs. Barring overseas batter Leus du Plooy the rest have been inconsistent right throughout the tournament. Upcoming pacer Lizaad Williams has done his job for the side with the ball, picking up 10 wickets. Right now, they are at the bottom of the standings with only 8 points in their name.
