SA20 match 20 preview

MI Cape Town vs Pretoria Capitals in a battle for the top of the table at the six-gun grill Newlands Stadium. MI Cape wins with a bonus point could see them return to the top of the table while a Capitals win will see them move a step closer to confirming a knockout spot.

The pitch at Newlands, I'm hoping, plays better than the previous 4 matches at this venue and we get to see a competitive match.

The Score for this match should be around the 165 to 175 mark as this looks like a winning score at Newlands so far in the competition. The batsman will have to be patient and apply themselves playing proper shots and not looking to forcefully hit everything to score their runs.

The bowlers on both sides should enjoy this pitch as it will provide them with assistance. The battle of the 2 bowling attacks of these 2 teams will be interesting as these are the 2 best bowling attacks up against each other today.

These 2 teams are well-balanced, and their batting lineups are just as good, so I think we are in for a thriller of a match at Newlands.

SA20 review

The SA20 season 2 has ended with Sunrisers Eastern Cape successfully defending their title to win back-to-back titles. The Sunrisers were the team to beat as they played an excellent brand of cricket and dominated throughout the tournament winning 7 matches and losing 2 with 1 no result to top the table in the league stage. The final of SA20 season 2 was played by the 2 best teams of the tournament the Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Durban Super Giants. Sunrisers proved too good for Super Giants beating them by 89 runs to not only successfully defend their SA20 title but also win the head-to-head between the 2 teams 3-1.
