SA20 2023, MICT vs DSG: Preview, Fantasy Tips and Prediction

Quinton de Kock in action against JSK (CSA)

The high-flying MI Cape Town unit is set to host its second match of the ongoing SA20 2023 season. After collecting their opening points in the first match of the tournament, they will now face Durban’s Super Giants on January 13.

The MI Cape Town mowed down the Paarl Royals by eight wickets, with more than four overs to spare on the opening night of SA20. Emerging star Dewald Brevis clubbed an unbeaten 41-ball 70 in the run-chase as he easily countered the Tabraiz Shamsi threat.

On the other hand, Durban’s Super Giants lost their opening match to the Joburg Super Kings by 16 runs in a high-scoring affair. Captain Quinton de Kock whacked a few lusty hits, but his six-laden 52-ball 78 was not enough to push his side past the Super Kings’ 190-run total.
