MI Cape Town is the favourite to win this match.

 

Match 9 on Monday between the two teams in Gqeberha was a close match, and we expect a similar struggle here. Without George Linde’s performance, MI Cape Town may have easily been dismissed for less than 100 runs in the previous game due to their top-order batting. In this game, we anticipate MI Cape Town’s batters to score more runs at the top of the lineup, and we are betting on them to win.
