SA20 2023 Match 29: Joburg Super Kings vs MI Cape Town | Fantasy Tips and Teams

Source: Twitter/ The Cricketer

We have arrived at the cue end of the inaugural edition of the SA20, and match no. 29 will see Joburg Super Kings taking on MI Cape Town. The Wanderer's Stadium, the home venue for the Faf du Plessis-led side, will stage the event.

After a win against the South Eastern Cape in their latest match, the Super Kings have climbed up the ladder and reached the second spot. They have played nine matches and won five of them. Unfortunately, one of the games was washed out due to rain. Nevertheless, despite a giddy start, the Stephen Fleeming-coached unit has pulled their socks and reached a formidable position.

On the flip side, the MI Cape Town are reeling at the bottom of the points table and has just 13 points in their bucket. They've played nine matches and have won just three of them. To their disgrace, the Rashid Khan-led side lost six games and is coming off a hattrick of losses. As a result, they're already out of the race of qualification.

With just a solitary game left for both sides, it would be interesting to see how the equation unfolds. But, for now, we shall focus on manufacturing a steady and winnable fantasy team.

Ground Stats: The Wanderer's, Johannesburg

The ground at the Wanderers has been a balanced one. There is something in it for the spinners, and the pacers get some movement off the deck early on. However, the batters must assess the situation and try to up the ante with time.

JOH vs CT, Match 29: Top Five Picks

1. Faf du Plessis: The South African top-order batter is surreal. He has smashed a century and a 90+ score in the past two games with 369 runs under his belt.
2. Rassie van der Dussen: The elegant batter is being used at the top of the order by the Cape Town-based franchise, and it has been a boon for them. He scored a fifty in their latest clash.
3. Gerald Coetzee: The young pacer has been one of the emerging stars of the tournament. He has been the leading wicket-taker for the Super Kings with 14 scalps under his name.
4. Odean Smith: The Caribbean allrounder has bagged nine wickets in the season from seven innings. Odean is renowned for clearing long boundaries with the bat in hand.
5. Kagiso Rabada: The Proteas great has extracted 11 wickets from 7 innings in the ongoing event. He is a real threat with the new ball and in the slog overs.
