MICT vs JSK Match Prediction & Analysis
MI Cape Town will be back to their home venue to face Joburg Super Kings once again this season. In their last encounter against the Super Kings, MI emerged victorious.
And that should give them some confidence to end their losing streak. They haven’t been particularly impressive in Cape Town with just 1 win from 2 matches.
Joburg Super Kings have been quite inconsistent this year. They chased down 171 against Pretoria Capitals marking their first win of the season at The Wanderers.
However, in the very next game at the same venue, they finished with just 168 runs on the board batting first and lost the match by 5 wickets.
MI Cape Town have some positives to take from their recent game. After back-to-back collapses, they finally bounced back and were pretty close to a win in the last match as they lost by just 4 runs while chasing a 175-run total.

TEAMS PREVIEW
MI Cape Town Preview
MI Cape Town witnessed some good knocks from the middle-order in their last outing but lacked that one big, special knock from a key batsman that could change the course of the game.
Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, and Kieron Pollard were off to a good start in the middle order but couldn’t take it to the next level. These 3 are the key batsmen in the middle order for MI Cape Town.
Rassie van der Dussen and Ryan Rickelton are seen opening the innings for the team. Dussen, who’s known to be a reliable batsman for South Africa on the international stage has struggled to get going in recent outings.
We reckon it could be due to the change in batting positions. He has been exceptional in the middle order and has also delivered as a finisher time and again. Skipper Pollard has been making a lot of changes to the batting order and that is another factor that could hamper the momentum.
Dewald Brewis is a young, up-and-coming batsman who needs to be trusted with his skill, and experimenting with his position in the order so often is only going to hurt him.
The bowlers haven’t been so consistent for MI and that is another area where MICT needs to improve. Nuwan Thushara, Kagiso Rabada, and Kieron Pollard will be the key pacers to watch out for.
George Linde has been among the wicket-takers with his left-arm orthodox and they’ve also got the left-arm pacer Sam Curran who could deliver crucial breakthroughs.
MI Cape Town Predicted Playing XI:
Rassie van der Dussen, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Sam Curran, Dewald Brevis, Liam Livingstone, Kieron Pollard (c), George Linde, Thomas Kaber, Delano Potgieter, Nuwan Thushara, Kagiso Rabada

Joburg Super Kings Preview
Joburg Super Kings will be backing themselves to play an aggressive brand of cricket coming to Cape Town. They looked in good touch in their last game which was abandoned due to rain.
After struggling to get going against Paarl Royals, skipper Faf du Plessis was finally back in form striking the ball well at a strike rate of 208 against Pretoria Capitals.
The openers Reeza Hendricks and Faf du Plessis are crucial to the success of this batting lineup. If the two get off to a good start, Super Kings can aim for a big finish and a competitive total.
The number 3 bat Leus du Plooy is another key player who’s got a healthy strike rate and has plenty of T20 experience. He’s made some impactful knocks but needs to stay around longer to build significant partnerships.
The batting lineup is quite deep with Moeen Ali coming in at number 5 followed by Donovan Ferreira who’s another handy batsman capable of hitting the long ball.
There is no dearth of options in this batting lineup and someone or the other can step up to be the match-winner. However, what they’ve lacked is for the starts to be converted into something bigger.
Nandre Burger and Lizaad Williams will be leading the bowling attack with the help of spinners Moeen Ali and Imran Tahir. There are quality bowling options in this squad but consistency is something they’ve struggled to achieve.
Joburg Super Kings Predicted Playing XI:
Faf du Plessis (c), Reeza Hendricks, Leus du Plooy, Moeen Ali, Sibonelo Makhanya, Donovan Ferreira (wk), David Wiese, Romario Shepherd, Lizaad Williams, Nandre Burger, Imran Tahir

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
There is help on offer for the pacers. There is grass on the pitch and that means there can be pace and some movement off the surface. However, the pace and bounce are also helpful for the batters and they have dominated two of the 3 T20s played here so far this season. The weather will be windy in Cape Town with a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius on the match day.
MICT vs JSK Pitch Report
MI Cape Town will face Joburg Super Kings at Newlands in Cape Town which is their home venue. And though the average 1st innings score here is just 150 runs, the recent matches have been quite high-scoring with the team batting first crossing the 170-run mark quite comfortably. MICT had chased down 175 against Paarl Royals with 8 wickets in hand on this ground earlier this season. We reckon a 190+ 1st innings total should be a competitive score at this venue.
Toss: To Bat
Teams batting first have won 26 of the 49 T20s played at this venue and this season, two of the 3 games were won by teams batting first. The batting positives from the recent matches would prompt both teams to bat first and set a competitive target.
MICT vs JSK
Winning Prediction
Both teams are in the same boat and though Joburg Super Kings had better returns in the batting department, they’ve lacked consistency with both bat and ball. MI Cape Town, on the other hand, will have the home advantage, and with a strong batting lineup that seems to be returning to form, will start with a slight edge in this contest. MI Cape Town will be our favorites to win this match.
