PC vs MICT Betting Tips
MI Cape Town total runs before the first dismissal to be over 21.5 runs
Rassie van der Dussen and Ryan Rickelton have established themselves as one of the most dependable opening pairs in SA20. Their recent 129-run stand showcased both control and explosiveness. On a surface that encourages front-foot batting, this partnership is well placed to deliver another rapid start, making this market a high-probability option.
Total runs in the first over for MI Cape Town to be over 6.5 runs
MI Cape Town’s openers have thrived on the Highveld, where the true bounce and quick outfield reward attacking intent. After smashing 20 runs in the opening over against Joburg Super Kings, they will once again look to capitalise on the fielding restrictions. With both batters in form and conditions expected to favour stroke play, backing another aggressive first over offers strong value.

PC vs MICT Team Previews
Pretoria Capitals
On a slow surface in Paarl, Pretoria Capitals struggled to build momentum, finishing on 138 for 9. Regular collapses disrupted their innings: from 45/2 in the powerplay to 60/4 by the eighth over and 74/6 after 11.1 overs. Only Sherfane Rutherford’s unbeaten 42 provided any late resistance, while Jordan Cox, Wihan Lubbe, and Roston Chase failed to reach double figures. Two run-outs further compounded their problems.
Defending a modest total, the bowlers showed commendable fight, restricting Paarl to 117/6. Keshav Maharaj led from the front with an excellent 2 for 14 in four overs, supported by Lizaad Williams, Gideon Peters, and Wihan Lubbe. However, Lungi Ngidi endured a difficult outing, conceding 35 runs, and will need to tighten up against a far more aggressive batting unit.
Pretoria Capitals have been competitive in patches but inconsistent as a collective. If MI Cape Town’s top order fires again, Pretoria will need a near-perfect bowling performance to stay in the contest.
Pretoria Capitals Expected Playing 11
Connor Esterhuizen, Shai Hope (wk), Jordan Cox, Wihan Lubbe, Dewald Brevis, Roston Chase, Sherfane Rutherford, Keshav Maharaj (c), Lizaad Williams, Lungi Ngidi, Gideon Peters

MI Cape Town
MI Cape Town are beginning to look like genuine title contenders. Their dominant 234/3 against Joburg Super Kings highlighted the full extent of their batting firepower, followed by a composed bowling display to seal the win.
The foundation was laid by a devastating opening stand. Ryan Rickelton’s century was a masterclass in controlled aggression, while Rassie van der Dussen’s 65 off 32 ensured maximum damage during the powerplay. Karim Janat’s late cameo added further momentum. That partnership effectively decided the match before the halfway stage.
With the ball, MI Cape Town delivered at crucial moments. George Linde and Kagiso Rabada each picked up two wickets, breaking any potential resistance. While conceding 198/5 shows room for improvement, the overall balance of this side—elite openers, adaptable middle order, and world-class pace—makes them one of the most complete teams in the competition.
MI Cape Town Expected Playing 11
Rassie van der Dussen, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Nicholas Pooran, Jason Smith, Karim Janat, George Linde, Jacques Snyman, Corbin Bosch, Rashid Khan (c), Kagiso Rabada, Trent Boult
PC vs MICT Toss Prediction
History at Centurion suggests chasing is often advantageous. With possible dampness from earlier rain, captains winning the toss are likely to bowl first and assess conditions before committing to a target.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
SuperSport Park is synonymous with high-scoring cricket. Once batters settle, run rates can escalate rapidly—the record first-innings score of 258 highlights the venue’s explosive nature. Teams will view 200 as a minimum competitive total.
Bowlers must strike early and execute perfectly at the death; any lapse in line or length is quickly punished. Forecasted rain earlier in the day may leave moisture in the surface, offering early assistance to seamers, while warm temperatures and cloudy skies could further aid swing.
PC vs MICT: Who Will Win?
All indicators point towards MI Cape Town. Their in-form opening pair, deeper middle order, and superior pace attack give them a clear advantage at a venue built for aggressive batting. Pretoria Capitals, despite back-to-back wins, remain unpredictable and are yet to secure a home victory this season.
Bet on MI Cape Town to win.
