Pretoria Capitals will face MI Cape Town at SuperSport Park in Centurion. The Capitals have won 2 of their 3 matches at this venue so far. In both of these wins, PC crushed the opposition with the ball.
Can the hosts carry their winning momentum and put the mighty MICT on the backfoot? The visitors have been unbeaten since the last 3 matches and have their batters in great touch.
Rassie van der Dussen and Ryan Rickleton are the in-form opening batters in MICT’s batting lineup. The two led MI Cape Town to a 10-wicket win over Sunrisers chasing 110 runs in 11 overs in the last outing.
Pretoria Capitals are struggling with the bat. They will be dependent on their bowlers to put them ahead in this contest. Miguel Pretorius and Senuran Muthusamy are the key wicket-takers for the Capitals.
Capitals need to win both of their remaining matches to stay alive in the race to the playoffs. Both of these games are against MI Cape Town. That is not great news given the tough challenge the struggling Capitals will face against the mighty MICT.

Pretoria Capitals need a strong performance from their batters in this game. The bowlers have enjoyed the upper hand at this venue so far in the season, without a batting comeback, Pretoria Capitals will not have a strong chance of winning.
They have made frequent changes to the bowling attack. Miguel Pretorius and Senuran Muthusamy have featured in the XI consistently and also been among the reliable wicket-takers for the Capitals.
Right-arm fast Gideon Peters was exceptional in the last match here with figures of 2 for 15 from 4 Overs. All-rounder and right-arm off-break bowler Will Jacks is another key figure in this squad.
Some promising bowlers will pose a tough challenge to the visitors. However, that alone will not be enough to get Pretoria Capitals on top of the game. Pretoria Capitals need their batters to find the rhythm and deliver a stronger performance.
Will Smeeds replaced Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the last match but failed to get going in the run-chase. He will be opening the innings alongside Will Jacks, an all-rounder known for his quick-scoring ability.
Kyle Verynne took over the captaincy from Rilee Rossouw in the last match. While he led the team to a victory, his batting form continued to disappoint. All the big names in this lineup including Ashton Turner and James Neesham have failed to live up to the expectations.

The openers Dussen and Rickleton are at the forefront of MICT’s winning run. The two have been consistently scoring runs for the side. Moreover, the bowlers have been brilliant in the last two games, restricting the opposition to below-par totals.
Skipper Rashid Khan leads a star-studded bowling attack. Trent Boult and Kagiso Rabada lead the pace attack for the side. They’ve got plenty of experience and are currently in great form.
Rashid Khan is well ed by left-arm orthodox George Linde while right-arm medium-fast Corbin Bosch adds variety to the pace attack. This bowling attack is as good as it gets.
Now that they are up against a struggling batting lineup for Pretoria Capitals on a bowling-friendly pitch, we reckon MICT bowlers will be eager to bowl first and put the opposition on the back foot. The batting lineup is quite deep though the top-order has led them by scoring the majority of runs in the recent games.
They’ve got the experienced Colin Ingram in the middle order along with the up-and-coming Dewald Brewis who’s got a great range of shots in the repertoire. Batting all-rounder George Linde is a great batting option in the lower order. He can hit the long ball and deliver a great finish.
MI Cape Town's powerplay scores have been pretty good this season, averaging 50.25 runs. They've been smashing it lately too, with 71, 68, and 59 runs in their last three powerplays. Their top order is on fire! So, yeah, we're thinking they'll have another blinder of a powerplay today against the Capitals and rack up over 53 runs.

It will be partly cloudy in Centurion with a high of 31 degrees Celsius on the match day. There is a rain prediction for later in the week. However, for the PC vs MICT match, we don’t expect any rain interruptions.
It has been a great venue for batting with the pitch offering plenty of help to score big totals. However, in recent matches, the bowlers have found the edge and the averages have dipped a great deal. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches here is 136 runs. We reckon anything over 165-175 should be a match-winning total.
The average total match score in the three SA20 matches played at Supersport Park is 284. Unlike the usually high-scoring surface of the past, scores have dropped drastically this season due to frequent rains and dampness. We predict another low-scoring affair in today's match and forecast the total score to be under 330 runs.
Teams bowling first have won all the 3 matches played at this venue so far this season. Only one of these 3 games was a high-scoring one. The team batting second had chased down 213 runs in that match with 8 wickets in hand. Both teams have a strong bowling attack and will back themselves to restrict the opposition to an achievable total.
The Pretoria Capitals have a great-looking bowling attack. There is great potential in this lineup but their current batting form raises concerns. The lack of consistent batters is a major issue for the hosts. The visitors, on the other hand, have their key players in great touch, and with a star-studded bowling attack, MICT have a clear edge over the hosts in this contest. MI Cape Town will start as favorites in our match prediction.
