MI Cape Town is the favorite to win this match.
With a second victory in this game, MI Cape Town hopes to halt its three-match home winning streak. It won’t be simple, though, as the Joburg Super Kings team features a sizable contingent of South African top-order hitters who will be motivated to earn a victory at the storied Newlands stadium. Although we anticipate a high-scoring match, we believe the MI Cape Town bowlers will be more accurate than the Joburg Super Kings bowlers. We believe MI Cape Town will triumph.
