MI Cape Town, meanwhile, lost their first game against the Durban Super Giants by 11 runs (DLS method). Their batters did a good job but the bowlers leaked plenty of runs. They need the bowlers to be disciplined with their lines & lengths in this game. 


Pitch Report

The pitch will be an excellent one for batting with some help for the pacers and spinners getting into play as the game progresses. New ball will move a bit for the pacers and the they will get good bounce off the deck. We saw the spinners coming into play in the second innings last year. The average first innings score here is 168 runs with teams batting first winning 67% of the matches at this venue. 

Fantasy Value from Pitch Report

  • Pacers who will bowl with the new ball and then in the death overs will be important. 
  • Middle order batters will be key alongside spinners from the 2nd innings. 
  • You may drop one of the openers from the team batting first.
