MI Cape Town (MICT) & Durban Super Giants (DSG) will be against the each other in the 16th game of the South Africa 20 2024. The match will be at Newlands in Cape Town at 9:00 PM IST on 23rdth January. There are plenty of quality players in both teams who are capable of winning games single-handedly on their day. This fantasy guide will help you in picking a top notch fantasy team to help you win big in this game.

MI Cape Town lost their last game against the Paarl Royals by a big margin of 59 runs. They are in the fourth position with two wins in five games. They are over-dependent on their openers to do the bulk of the scoring and the middle order is badly out of form. They need the likes of Liam Livingstone, Dewald Brevis, Kieron Pollard and others to step up with the bat. The pace attack also needs to be consistent as they've failed to make an impact until now.

Durban Super Giants, meanwhile, are in the second position with three wins in five games. They started off well by winning their first three games but have lost their last two matches. They'll be eager to come back on the winning track in this game. They have been in decent form with both bat and ball as a team. 


Pitch Report

The pitch was an excellent one for batting in the last game with some help for the pacers in the second innings with the new ball. Bowlers didn't had a lot of success in the last game, especially in the first innings. Spinners got little to no help in that game. Expect a high scoring encounter with teams preferring to bowl first. Scores in the range of 160-180 are expected. 

Fantasy Value from Pitch Report

  • Pick top order batters from both sides and death bowlers from first innings.
  • New ball bowlers from the second innings will be good fantasy picks too.
  • All-rounders will be top C/VC options alongside top order openers.
