Head-to-Head


MI Cape Town won both group matches against Paarl Royals last season, and added a third win with their victory on Friday at Newlands.

Paarl Royals Form


Paarl Royals’ three-match winning streak was ended by an on-fire MI Cape Town at Newlands. 

Kagiso Rabada took a hammering from Jason Roy (38 off 14 balls), with Jos Buttler (46) also batting with freedom but a string of wickets slowed their run rate and they ended on 172/8 off their 20 overs.

MI Cape Town batted superbly to hit their target off just 16.5 overs, despite a brilliant performance with the ball from Tabraiz Shamsi (2/35).

Paarl Royals Team News


There are no injury reports from the Paarl Royals squad.

MI Cape Town Form


MI Cape Town picked up just their second win from four matches, despite four brilliant performances with the bat.

The Royals got off to a flying start, but Thomas Kaber (3/20) helped to haul the Royals in, and they ended on 172/8 off their 20 overs.

MI Cape Town raced to the win off just 16.5 overs, Ryan Rickelton again top-scoring (94*) with a breathtaking innings.

MI Cape Town Team News


MI Cape Town are in superb form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Verdict

I am backing MI Cape Town to win. I am also backing Ryan Rickelton to top score for MI Cape Town.

Jos Buttler is a good bet to top score for the Paarl Royals.
