Bet on SA20

Pretoria Capitals have performed well so far this season but need to continue the winning performance to make sure of their spot at the top of the table this season. MI Cape Town needs nothing but a win from this game in order to ensure that they are in the race for the playoffs and don’t lag too much behind the other teams. Both teams will also look into the bonus point (1) which can be achieved only when their run rate is 1.25 times that of the opposition.

MI Cape Town vs Pretoria Capitals Chance of Winning

MI Cape Town won their previous game against the Paarl Royals by just 12 runs and it was a stunning effort from them to win that encounter. They defended a low score which was a great task considering the opposition’s batting line-up.

Pretoria Capitals are scoring runs for fun and their bowlers are also relishing that because they get a lot more freedom to bowl with and can experiment with some variations and can also tinker with the line and length. While Pretoria Capitals are having an all-round performance, Phil Salt has been their key batter and would be hoping the English opener could fire them to a good start.

Both the teams have big players and emerging players like Archer on one side and Anrich Nortje on the other, which can perform well in the upcoming fixture, but we are backing MI Cape Town with an 80/20 chance of winning the 18th match in SA20 2023.

Our Prediction

As both the teams have a balanced side it can be a nail-biting game, the team controlling their nerves will win the upcoming match. Pretoria Capitals' bowling attack looked fantastic in the previous match with Nortje and Jimmy Neesham might continue the same in the next contest. While on the other hand, MI Cape Town has some quality fast bowlers like Jofra Archer and Kagiso Rabada who will be key players to watch out for. MI Cape Town is not an easy team to win against but still, we are expecting Pretoria Capitals to win the 15th match on the 20th of January.
