SA20 match 12 preview


 SA20 has another doubleheader today and the first doubleheader is MI Cape Town vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape at Newlands cricket stadium Cape Town.  This is the return from 2 days ago when the 2 teams played in Gqeberha.  

The pitch at Newlands has been on the slower side so far in the 3 games played at Newlands. I'm hoping today's game the pitch will play much better and have something in it for the batsman as it's been tough for them so far batting at Newlands. 

I think a score of 170 to 180 will be a good score on this pitch. Today fans will finally get to see Rabada and Archer playing together for the first time.

The news from the toss is Sunrisers have won the toss and chose to bowl first. 

Team

MI Cape Town: 1: Dewal Brevis, 2: Ryan Rickelton, 3: Grant Roelofsen, 4: Rassie Van der Dussen, 5: Sam Curran, 6: Delano Potgieter, 7: George Linde, 8: Rashid Khan, 9: Odean Smith, 10: Kagiso Rabada, 11: Jofra Archer

Sunrisers Eastern Cape: 1: Adam Rossington, 2: JJ Smuts, 3: Sarel Erwee, 4: Aiden Markram, 5: Tristan Stubbs, 6: Tom Abell, 7: Marco Jansen, 8: Roelof van der Merwe, 9: Sisanda Magala, 10: Ottniel Baartman, 11: Brydon Carse
