MCT vs JSKS Team Previews
MI Cape Town
The MI Cape Town were the worst performing team in the previous edition and this season seems to be no different. With just 2 wins in 7 matches, the team is currently 5th on the points table, with just 1 point separating them from the bottom-placed Super Kings.
Ryan Rickelton and Rassie van der Dussen make up one of the best opening pairs of this season and have given their team some good starts. However, their form has seen a dip in the last couple of matches. Cape Town will now need some of their middle-order batsmen to step up and score some runs.
Sam Curran and Kieron Pollard had some form in the last match but they will need to play better in the upcoming matches. It is a similar case with Liam Livingstone and Dewald Brevis. Coming to the bowling, left-arm wrist spinner Thomas Kaber is the leading wicket-taker for them with 7 wickets.
He will joined by Liam Livingstone and George Linde. Kagiso Rabada hasn’t been in the best of forms as he has managed to pick up just 6 wickets in 7 matches. He will start with the new ball alongside Nuwan Thushara.

Joburg Super Kings
The Joburg Super Kings have managed to win just 1 of the 7 matches played so far and find themselves at the bottom of the table. Their NRR is also the worst among all teams. With just 3 more matches to play, each match will be a knockout for them.
Reeza Hendricks and Faf du Plessis will open the batting for the Super Kings here. While Hendricks has played well in patches, du Plessis’ performance has been underwhelming, to say the least. He will need to play a big inning here if the Super Kings want to turn things around.
The middle order consists of Donovan Ferreira, Leus du Plooy, Sibonelo Makhanya, and Moeen Ali. Du Plooy is the leading run-getter for the team this season, while Moeen has put up a decent all-round show. He will feature in the spin attack along with Imran Tahir.
The seam attack will be led by Lizaad Williams and Nandre Burger. Lizaad is among the top 3 wicket-takers of the tournament with 10 wickets, while Burger has managed to pick up 5.

MCT vs JSKS Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Read our guide on toss predictions to learn how we analyze and come up with our tips.
Pitch and Conditions
The Newlands Stadium has produced a couple of high-scoring matches this season and we can expect another good batting surface for this match. The team batting first will look to score over 180 runs to give their bowlers some cushion. That said, the bowlers can expect some help from the pitch provided they hit the right spots.
The weather in Cape Town is likely to be pleasant with temperatures of around 20 degrees Celsius. The conditions are expected to be windy and that may help the quicker bowlers some movement through the air.
MCT vs JSKS Betting Tips
Both teams will be eager to win here as they fight for survival. We feel that Cape Town holds a slight edge in this contest thanks to a well-balanced bowling unit and some quality all-rounders in the middle order.
Bet on the MI Cape Town to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The batting for both sides hasn’t been the best. While the pitch is good to bat on, the bowlers, especially the seamers, can expect some help. We are therefore likely to see quite a few wickets fall.
As mentioned earlier, the batting hasn’t been up to the mark for both sides. Also, the conditions can help the bowlers and extremely high-scoring overs can be rarer. We are therefore betting Under 20.5 for this match.
Du Plessis hasn’t been in the best of forms this season. He is averaging just over 14 runs in his 6 innings and has breached the 20-run mark just once in his past 10 T20 innings.
