MI Cape Town and Joburg Super Kings have both won two matches so far in this campaign but the Super Kings saw their 100% record ended by the weather in their last game, against Pretoria Capitals. That said, they had just restricted the Capitals to 138/8 from their 20 overs and so were in a very strong position so they will still be full of confidence ahead of this match.
The hosts in this game, MI Cape Town have enjoyed two convincing wins but have failed to back up either victory, experiencing a defeat to Joburg Super Kings in match four and then to Paarl Royals in match nine.
The last head to head between the teams saw the Super Kings win by six runs (DLS). It will be interesting to see on Saturday evening if a full game produces the same result!

If one of your openers hits 91 not out from 64 balls in a T20, you would expect the team to post more than 158/4 but that's exactly what happened to MI Cape Town against Paarl Royals on Wednesday evening. Rassie van der Dussen was in fine form at the top of the order but MI Cape Town must score their runs at a quicker rate in this game or else they could easily fall to back to back defeats for the first time in this campaign.
With the ball, most teams in the world would do anything to have the trio of Trent Boult, Kagiso Rabada and captain Rashid Khan in their side! Azmatullah Omarzai is another talented T20 bowler but he and Rabada both come into this match off the back of a wicketless showing against Paarl Royals.
However, Rabada is a top class performer and took 2/22 in his last appearance in Cape Town.

Joburg Super Kings' batters will be chomping at the bit to get into the middle in this game after the weather deprived them the opportunity to face one ball against Pretoria Capitals on Thursday. Added to that will be the confidence running through the veins of their bowling attack which saw only Lutho Sipamla go wicketless from the seven-man bowling unit!
Spinners Donovan Ferreira and Moeen Ali both led the way in that innings, taking two wickets each and fellow tweaker Imran Tahir also chipped in with a dismissal. They may need more from their quicks in this game though and we expect David Wiese and Hardus Viljoen to stand up and be counted in this game.
With the bat, Joburg Super Kings have an explosive top five with the strength of Faf du Plessis and consistency of Devon Conway in the opening berth ready to cause plenty of problems!
Du Plooy has been a key contributor for the Joburg Super Kings this season, scoring 38 and 24 runs in his first two matches. His impressive record at the Wanderers, where he averages 56.9 and has scored 455 runs in 12 matches, makes us confident he will sur 19 runs against MI Cape Town.

It will be a pleasant evening in Cape Town with the temperature unlikely to drop below 20 degrees before the end of the match. Humidity levels will rise from 50% to around 70% by the close.
There will be good pace and carry in this pitch at Newlands but don't be surprised if the ball also turns for the spinners. Batters should get full value for their shots and a par first innings total is likely to be around 185.
We predict the luck to be in favour of the home out in the centre and back MI Cape Town to Win the Coin Toss
The pitch at Newlands usually offers a good balance for both batters and bowlers. In the last few SA20 games here, the total scores have been around 310-315 runs. But tonight's clash is between two teams packed with big hitters, so we expect fireworks! We predict the total score could easily go over 333 runs.
MI Cape Town won when batting first in the only previous game at Newlands in the 2025 SA20. Therefore, we expect both teams to want to bat first ahead of this match.
MI Cape Town have already picked up a win at this venue this season but they do have an inconsistent streak about them this season. Joburg Super Kings, on the other hand, look like a fully-focused team with all of their cogs turning well - and we expect to see them pick up their third win of the campaign.
We are backing Joburg Super Kings to win!
