Pretoria Capitals vs MI Cape Town Predictions

MI Cape Town are in top form with three straight wins. Another here and they go top of the SA20 table. With the form of Ryan Rickelton, I don't see the Capitals pulling off a win here.

Pretoria Capitals have won 2 of their last 9 matches.
Pretoria Capitals won their last match.
Pretoria Capitals’ Marques Ackerman scored 39 runs in his last match.
MI Cape Town have won their last 3 complete matches.
MI Cape Town’s Ryan Rickelton has scored 89, 63 & 59* in 3 of his last 4 SA20 matches.

Head to Head

These sides have met on four occasions with the Capitals winning three and MI Cape Town just once. They still have to play each other twice this season with this being the first and Sunday being the next in Cape Town.

Pretoria Capitals Form

The Pretoria Capitals have two matches left to play and will have to win both to have any hope of making the playoffs. They have thus far won just two of their eight games along with two no results.

In their last match, the Capitals did beat the Joburg Super Kings in the Gauteng derby by six wickets. A brilliant bowling performance set up the win as they dismissed the Super Kings for just 99 runs.

The Capitals then chased the score down in 12 overs to secure the bonus point. Marques Ackerman top scored with 39 runs.

The Capitals have not been very good this season but can still make the playoffs. They will be hoping some batsmen can find form in the next few days.

MI Cape Town Form

MI Cape Town are in great form and are currently in second place on the table. They are just two points behind the Paarl Royals and victory here will put them at the top.

Another superb bowling display by the Cape Town side at Newlands saw them dismiss the Sunrisers Eastern Cape for 107 runs in their last fixture on Wednesday. Corbin Bosch was the pick of the bowlers, taking 4-19 in 3.2 overs.

The in-form Rassie van der Dussen (48) and Ryan Rickelton (59) then blasted the Cape Town outfit to victory in 11 overs without losing a wicket.

MI Cape Town Injuries & Team News

There is constant rotation within all sides and MI Cape Town will almost certainly rest a few players for this fixture. It is unlikely that Kagiso Rabada, Trent Boult and Corbin Bosch will all play again.

Verdict

Pretoria Capitals v MI Cape Town

MI Cape Town are tipped to win at Centurion with the in-form Ryan Rickelton to score some big runs yet again.

For the Capitals, they have struggled with the bat this season, so we are looking at Marques Ackerman who top scored last time out.
