The Wanderers Stadium

After suffering an 11-run loss at the hands of a Heinrich Klassen masterclass, MI Cape Town will aim to bring in a sense of surety to their approach when they take on last year’s finalists - Joburg Super Kings at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg, on January 13, 2024 (Saturday). The latter’s match against Sunrisers Eastern Cape was called off due to incessant rain in Gqeberha, so they are also eager to add their first full points to the tally.

Facts:

  • Kagiso Rabada’s brilliance reflects in an astounding record of 232 wickets, boasting an average of 22.81 and a strike rate of 17.1.
  • Pollard boasts a legendary record, tallying an impressive 12,421 runs at a remarkable average of 31.12 and an outstanding strike rate of 150.6.
  • Faf du Plessis was the second-highest run-scorer last season, amassing 369 runs at an impressive average of 41 and a striking strike rate of 147.6.

Joburg Super Kings vs MI Cape Town Chance of Winning

For Joburg Super Kings, the match against Sunrisers Eastern Cape came as an opportunity to be the best at their game and figure out the depth in the squad, but after that called off, they will be eager to get the best out of it from franchise’s arch-rivals, MI Cape Town. Faf du Plessis is leading the squad and the strength is further bolstered by the likes of Gerald Coetzee, Moeen Ali, Reeza Hendricks, Lizard Williams, and Nandre Burger in their line-up.

On the other hand, MI Cape Town, irrespective of the result of the Durban clash, they are a much better side. Putting up 207 on board tells you everything about their batting strength and what they bring to the table. One concerning factor was that apart from Kagiso Rabada, none of the other bowlers could arrive on their own- something they would want to rectify going forward.

JSK’s chance of winning is 53%

Joburg Super Kings vs MI Cape Town Betting Tips

Sure, how can I not name Faf du Plessis? The consistency incarnate, Faf has a weird habit of scoring a truckload of runs and still flies under the radar. He is going to go big against MICT. I am also sure Kagiso Rabada is going to have another crazy game of cricket with the ball in his hand. Planning to bet on Nandre Burger? Well, on the current form, I wouldn’t take the risk of not betting on him.

MI Cape Town Team Form

MICT were awful in the first edition of the SA20 and hoped for a winning start to the campaign in 2024. However, things went south, as Durban’s Super Giants, led by a blistering knock from Heinrich Klassen, handed a shocking defeat to Cape Town. So they would want to tread cautiously against the Faf du Plessis-led side on Saturday.
