PC vs MICT Match Prediction & Analysis
Including this game, there are only five group stage matches left in this SA20 and a wicket here or a boundary there could be the difference between one side finishing in the top four and qualifying for the knockout stage.
As the competition stands, Durban's Super Giants, Paarl Royals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape have already booked their place in the next stage of the competition but the three remaining sides - Joburg Super Kings, Pretoria Capitals and MI Cape Town - do not go into one place!
Therefore, this game has plenty at stake as the Capitals host MI Cape Town at SuperSport Park, Centurion on Thursday.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Pretoria Capitals Preview
It was an eight-run defeat for Pretoria Capitals in their last game as they failed to chase down the target of 175 against the free-scoring Durban's Super Giants on Tuesday.
Although it was another loss for Wayne Parnell's side, there were some encouraging signs with all but one of their six bowlers picking up a wicket and Daryn Dupavillon alongside Senuran Muthusamy taking three each.
English opener Will Jacks struck 41 runs from 26 balls, an innings which included five fours and two sixes, in the last game and his power hitting at the top of the order will be key in this game due to the poor form of Phil Salt, Rilee Rossouw and Colin Ingram.
Pretoria Capitals Predicted Playing XI:
Phil Salt (wk), Will Jacks, Kyle Verreynne, Rilee Rossouw, Colin Ingram, Colin Ackermann, Senuran Muthusamy, Eathan Bosch, Wayne Parnell (c), Adil Rashid, Daryn Dupavillon

MI Cape Town Preview
After winning two of their first four games in the competition, and with Ryan Rickleton setting the pace as the leading run scorer in the tournament, MI Cape Town got off to an excellent start in this year's SA20. However, the season has gone off the rails with defeats in each of their last four matches and the wooden spoon is beckoning unless they can win this fixture.
Somehow, in spite of the poor form of the side, Rickleton continues as the highest run scorer in the campaign but taking consistent wickets has proved a real issue for the side. Left-arm wrist spinner Thomas Kaber has impressed but the likes of established internationals Sam Curran and Kagiso Rabada have disappointed.
MI Cape Town Predicted Playing XI:
Rassie van der Dussen, Ryan Rickleton (wk), Liam Livingstone, Kieron Pollard (c), Sam Curran, Dewald Brevis, George Linde, Thomas Kaber, Delano Potgieter, Nuwan Thushara, Kagiso Rabada

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
We can expect to see a dry evening in Centurion across Thursday although there will be progressively more cloud cover as the game goes on. The temperature will peak at 24 degrees in the first innings of the match.
PC vs MICT Pitch Report
The ball will turn for the spinners and there could also be a lively surface for the pace bowlers to work with at SuperSport Park on Thursday evening. Any score over 160 in the first innings could well be enough to secure victory and batters may be best advised to take a few balls to get used to the pace of the wicket.
Toss: To Bowl
Fielding first has been the choice of three of the four captains after winning the toss at this venue in this year's SA20. With the pitch not the easiest to bat on, a big blow could be struck by picking up early wickets in this match.
PC vs MICT
Winning Prediction
There is plenty at risk for both sides in this game with neither wanting to wake up on Friday morning with the chance of progressing to the knockout stage having disappeared. In this kind of high-stakes game, experience will be key, and we are backing the tried and tested players at MI Cape Town to snap out of their disappointing run of form and lead their side to victory.
